The place conservatism has won is the modern Islamic state. Hooray for 6th century values.
It takes a special kind of moral idiot to equate those most interested in preserving Individual Liberty to the societal depravities of Islam.
If you had any respect for yourself, you'd be ashamed.

You have redefined conservatism that way.
We can always pick the best parts and claim them as our own. That doesn't make it so.
It was conservative ministers the liberal MLK wrote his letter to. They were not supporting personal liberty. It was support of the status quo, which is what conservatism is at its core. You can't claim civil rights as a conservative value when conservatives haven't been a part of the movement.
Ignoring that is ignoring what is wrong with conservatism.
