[edit] Movement conservatives?

"His 1964 book Suicide of the West became a classic among movement conservatives" -- Can anybody please explain the meaning of the expression "movement conservatives"? Thanks. -- 201.78.233.162 20:37, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

I think it may be illustrated by the difference between people who engage in some level of activism (specifically conservative as opposed to just partisan pro-GOP activity) and those who simply identify as conservatives and vote for those politicians whom they believe to be conservatives.
