Are we talking conservatives in theory here, or conservatives in practice?
In theory, it's not a matter of right or wrong, it's a matter of balance. The government needs brakes, it needs people who look at every issue from the perspective of "should we do this thing, how far should we go with it, and how much should it cost". In practice, conservatives have had way too much power for far too long. They've gone past the point of being brakes, and become full-on regressives that have been co-opted by corporations and religious fanatics that flock to the stability and "traditional values" that the ideology initially had as it's foundation.
