Where liberty infringes on the liberty of others, there is no equality.

Cons have an historical track record of using legislation to tilt the equality thing in favor of economic predators, and equality is actually a liberal concept. 

This is your idea of having a useful discussion?

Virtually everyone values both liberty and equality but, as ted noted, the two conflict with each other.  Liberals tend to sacrifice liberty to increase equality, and conservatives tend to sacrifice equality in order to increase liberty.  Where the proper balance between the two should be is a matter of individual values.

Nope. Liberals have always believed in egalitarianism and cons have always believed in classes almost to the point of a case system. You can't have "class warfare" without classes, and cons firmly believe in class--and where you have classes, you necessarily do NOT have equality.
