Conservative is actually a very old and broad term, used to describe not just religious philosophies but also political beliefs, social behaviors and more. You've probably heard people say "he's a conservative dresser" meaning the guy wears sensible sober clothing and is not apt to jump on the latest trend.
A conservative Christian is generally used to mean a Protestant that follows the traditional/historical Protestant interpretations of Scripture. There are so many different Protestant sects that "conservative" is just one of thousands of distinctions that could be made.
By the way "Conservative" means favoring traditional, time-tested and historically proven teachings and moral values.
All Catholics are conservatives (since the defined teachings of the Church are traditional and tested/proven) so it would be redundant to call a Catholic a "conservative Catholic."
Any Catholic that does not believe and follow the traditional teachings of the Church is not a "liberal Catholic" but just a "liberal" or a "fallen away Catholic."

It is something to be greatly feared.
Perhaps the greatest evil perpetrated on mankind has been at the hands of one of these brute beasts.
CONSERVATIVE: adj. (ken-sur-ve-tev): RE: Nazi Germany- 1. Fearful, 2. Unchanging 3. Unable to imagine.
Noun. 1. A juggernaut 2. A veteran 3. A Texan 4. Anyone who steals an election 4. Anyone with white skin who is rich and smokes cigars 5. Anyone who hates the Earth 6. Someone who drives a mini van or SUV.
If you should encounter on of them, remember they are zombies. Do not look directly into their eyes or they will register you against your will as a Republican - (another demon, but not nearly as evil as the Conservative Christian.)
They breed like bacteria and hunt in large packs. The only threat to them is the "Atheist."
The Atheist is a superhuman mastermind, able to render the CC defenseless with his intellect. The CC, of course has a built-in survival mechanism called, "faith."
"Faith" enables the CC to transform "hope" into "knowledge"making them impervious to the weapons of the Atheist, which are reason, logic and reality.

A Catholic. All other Christian sects are quite recent in comparison.
