The goal posts move through the ages. Conservatism is always about satisfying, respecting, and favoring traditional institutions of power. It's money and religion, to put it broadly and succinctly. Currently, conservatism can cross over to regression for this reason.
I think modern liberalism can be traced back to Milton and others in the 17th century. Conservatism can go back far beyond that, and that's part of the problem in defining it.
