Conservative denial is the tendency of conservatives to conceal, deny or censor:

• examples of how the conservative ideology harms people
• the admission that that they are fascists themselves
• how the conservative ideology is pushed on unsuspecting others, particularly youngsters
• that conservatives just aren't very bright

George W. Bush, for example, refused to admit in a presidential debate that he is an idiot.

There are also specific examples of conservatives denying, for ideological reasons, facts that are plainly true:

1. that the numerous scandals among evangelists are a direct result of Christian values
2. that Ronald Reagan's public exhortation, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall" did not cause the nearly 30-year-old wall to be torn down later
3. that gun control may decrease crime
4. that prayer is not censored from public school
5. that reducing taxes for the rich often does not "trickle down" to the poor
6. that abortions do not increase the likelihood of breast cancer
7. that that they perceive as "liberal bias" in the media is often simply the media not embracing their radical conservative dogma
8. that privately-run transport is generally not more "efficient" than government-run transport
9. that public health care is not necessarily inferior medical care
10. that many homeschoolers are straight up morons
11. that Christianity is a collection of myths that have been largely been proven false
12. that The Specials song "Free Nelson Mandela" directly caused Nelson Mandela to be freed from prison... 6 years later.
