See, Liberalism is nothing to do with left and right, which is economics. The "left" (i.e. centre-right) in the USA are not Liberals by British or European standards (which are different), although they are often referred to as such.
You may have already seen the political compass[1], which shows a 2D view of political theory (which is still too small a dimensionality, but illustrates the point about considering more than just left/right.)
In the UK, Liberal Democrats are often advocates of the political compass approach, as a defence against the stereotype that we "sit on the fence" between the two largest parties.
