As far as Bootswatch 2 themes are concerned, the original, stock bootstrap-responsive.min.css must be loaded if you wish your page to be "responsive". Bootswatch 2 themes do not provide this functionality. So, regardless of the Bootswatch 2 theme used, they can all co-exist with the same, stock bootstrap-responsive.min.css.
What bootstrap-responsive.min.css does is explained in the old Bootstrap 2 docs, for example here: http://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/scaffolding.html#responsive and you can just try how your page looks with or without it. Just to be clear - you don't have to use the responsive features or even load the bootstrap-responsive.min.css, it's optional.
