Did Conservatives support democracy?
The Constitution of the United States explicitly details a "Republican Form of Government". The United States is not a direct democracy. By definition, CONSERVATIVES claim ORDER as a priority. Thus, relative to liberals, conservatives are naturally less responsive. However, one cannot definitively state whether or not conservatives support "direct" democracy. Their ideals are democratic, but mostly in support of a strong, representative government: the republic.

How are conservatives different than liberals?
Very briefly stated, here are the different beliefs of Conservatives and Liberals. Conservatives ideals are based on the belief in the capability of others and the attendant accountability i.e. personal responsibility. The individual, not the government, is responsible for individual actions. All government should be limited and be representative of the people. They believe in free market economy, individual liberty, traditional values and morals, and a strong national military for defense. The role of the government is to protect the freedom of the people so that individuals can pursue their own goals and desires. The emphasis is on the state to solve its own problems and for the individual to solve his/her own problems. Liberals believe in a strong government that acts to absolve others from accountability based on their belief that Americans generally incapable. Seeing people as incapable they feel compelled to protect promote equal opportunity for all people in the nation. It is the job of the government (state) to help solve social ills and to protect the civil liberties of all. Liberals have a strong belief in individual and human rights. The role of the government should be to protect and guarantee that no person is in need. Thus, liberals would accept governmental policies such as national medical insurance for all. Liberals emphasis the basic goodness of people and the need for government to help solve problems.

Which party is better liberals or conservatives?
It is hard to say which party is better. Both have their faults and both have their strong points. That is why there are two parties. One will get into office and clean up the mess its predecessor made and then start making its own mess, and then the reverse happens. We need both. Alright, here is the complete, un-bias answer. We need both, both have good ideas and bad ideas. But if your asking which is better. Again, being un bias. Conservatism works out better than libertarianism. A political poll taken in 2010 showed that the conservative ideas on: gun control, marijuana legalization, immigration, environment regulation, media censorship, and prostitution, work out better than the liberal ideas. But liberal have it on: abortion, religion in schools, and the war on terror.
