Traditionalist Roman Conservativism destroyed the Roman Republic, because all that Cato and his goons could think to do when confronted with rising opposition was resort to short-sighted knee-jerk reactions. A bit like conservatives today in that respect. And so, what was a reasonably good mixed constitution republic by ancient standards fell to authoritarianism. Wow, the conservative agenda is so much better than liberals.
Conservatives are the ones that bring down civilizations, because they try to stop change and maintain their peaceful little status quo. No, its not going to work in the long term, but since conservatives have short memories they don't notice that they keep losing everything because they try and fight the future.
As for liberals fearing Christianity, blurk. Christianity pisses me off more than it scares me. Keep it as far away from the government as possible. It can't be trusted.
