Your one dimensional left to right overly simplistic political model is leading you astray. 


There are so many definitions of the terms "liberal" and "conservative" as to render the terms meaningless.


There are several political continuums.  The big government to limited government is one that is usually seen as liberal to conservative.  The libertarian to authoritarian continuum is a little more troubling, as the very people who call themselves conservative typically favor more authoritarianism, which means more government power.
