Conservatives want to maintain (conserve) the status quo, in as much as it means maintaining the benefits they receive under the current status quo.
The fear is that they might lose some or all of the power and/or wealthy that they've compiled, of which they feel deserving. They insist the status quo is not to blame nor the cause of any social ill, for if it were to change, so would their circumstances.
Others, who aren't part of the percentage that is reaping benefits with the current status quo want change that will give them some of the benefits formerly reserved for the elite, reserved for those in control.
Translation: Loot the wealthy.
And someone in here claimed liberals don't hate the rich.

Funny, the way your using you're words is going right over you're head.
As I'm sure that sentence did.
