Can someone explain this phrase to me?
   
I was reading a columnist in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel and the info on the author said he was part of a 'non-partisan conservative think tank'.

2 things caught my eye. If you claim to be a conservative are you not already considered partisan?

And wouldn't 'conservative think tank' be akin to 'jumbo shrimp', 'military intelligence' and 'deafening silence'?

Easy answer to that one. Conservatism and being a republican are 2 different things.
For example I registered as no party affiliation because I am a conservative and neither party is reflecting my views. Sometimes the GOP is right but most of the time they are pushing the same socialist garbage that you lefties want, only more watered down.

3. Explanation: they're lying
   
I'd bet they get funding from the Repub party, which makes them partisan. Probably it gets laundered through a front group like USA Next or Americans For Prosperity, which exist solely to funnel Repub party and corporate money in a circle through those groups and back into the party and corporate headquarters, at a profit.

Yet you don't mind if the dems fund groups like ACORN and yet you try to frame them as non partisan.

They also seem to have no problem with churches being politically active as long as they're Black churches,  Unitarians, or Quakers.
