A Conservative is someone who wishes to conserve the Republic as defined by the Constitution of the US. Now if you want to talk about conservatives with a small 'c', that's another story. Jefferson was less a 'liberal' and more a revolutionary. Again, by definition.

Thomas Jefferson was a ideologically a republican, in today's terms he was a conservative for conserving the Constitutional Republic.
