238240: Remember, democracy was designed by Liberals upset with Kings and Queens.

Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, all of our Founding Fathers were liberals. Proof is that the "conservatives" (or "Tories" all took off for Canada and the British Caribbean territories during the American revolution.

Even only 150 years ago democracy was such a radical liberal idea that only 2 countries practiced it, and even then only partially -- United States and France. Sorry England, yes, you sort of started the process with the Magna Carta (which brought the world more or less to where Athens and Rome were 1000 years before), but Queen Victoria still had too much power to give you a complete pass as a democracy in the 1850s.

No, if conservatives truly were allowed to rule we would all still be grovelling in front our feudal lord (who we would know as our king "because he doesn't have shit all over him".

Ultimately Conservatives need Liberals because their entire philosophy is based on opposing attempts to change what existed before (hence the term "Conservative," from "conserve" or "keep". Without liberals the typical Conservative conversation would go something like "What do you want to do?" "I don't know -- same thing as yesterday?" "OK".
