re: Why does it seem like liberalism always wins in the end?

Because conservative = status quo by definition. If things change under a conservative, it's moving back. Luckily they lose more times than not at attempting to do so.

That's not what conservatism is. At least on the fiscal side of things.

Conservatives want to end the status quo; radically. They want big change. They want to end the generational dependency on the welfare state.
Conservatives believe that the more self sufficient the populace is, the better off the country is.
Conservatives actually believe that taxing a dollar from someone, sending it to Washington, having it siphoned off at every level of bureaucracy and then sending it back down to his neighbor (deserving or not) to be siphoned off some more on the way down and now by the state governments too sometimes, is a terribly inefficient way to do...anything, but that is the system that Democrats, especially Liberals wholeheartedly endorse and worship.
And if you want to criticize Conservatives on social issues; for defending rights of the unborn, but not snail darter rights and tree rights,ok. And if you want to criticize Conservatives because they promote traditional families (horrors), fine.
There is no good defense of the increasing dependency on government and the advocacy thereof by liberals, which brings us back to the original point, why does this side win?

That would be reactionary, by definition.
