lukifer is expressed a common view. I think "liberal" and "conservative" aren't quite the best terms to use here, with Republican and Democrat being better (party/cultural affiliations vs. more purely political preferences). Some of this is explored by cognitive scientist/linguist George Lakoff (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_Politics http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_Politics) I'm not buying the whole thing, but recent studies about one's affiliation correlating with various ways of viewing the world bear out some of Lakoff's thoughts.
