Liberals are more willing to support anti-Western movements across the world because they see such movements as a reassertion of national identity against the foreign colonial remnant-identity. They do not actually try to understand the political motivations of those people nor do they contemplate how those people's values may actually conflict with the domestic policy that they would want in their own country.
They all have politics in common.

There are crosscutting cleavages between liberals and conservatives because the issues that are causing these crosscutting cleavages are issues that liberals (people who are willing to disregard traditional values in politics) and conservatives (people who believe traditional values are important in politics) are debating over. They have opposite views over these matters. These crosscutting cleavages are based on race, ethnicity, religion, region, and education.
because they are two opposing views, the Conservatives want a small government with private companies to do more for the economy and the Liberals want a larger government with more of a mixture of government and private companies in the economy. (I am thinking in UK politics)
It doesn't matter whether you are gay or not, in order be consider yourself liberal or conservative. Usually, conservatives have more moral objections to homosexuality, whether it is openly displayed or not. Liberals tends to be a bit more open-minded when it comes to homosexuality. Of course there are exceptions to be found in both groups. A liberal person can be liberal about things like euthanasia and abortion, and won't support gay marriage. Conservatives can maitain a very conservative policy towards politics or economics, and find less objections to supporting gay marriage or other similar issues.

One facet of conservative political views is that a person is pro-life as opposed to being pro-choice. Conservatives are in favor of a small, central government. Economically, conservatives tend to favor low taxes and little regulation or government interference in the economic private sector.

This isn't truly the case. In present times, urban people are becoming less and less religious, which is true all over the Western world. The importance of religion has decreased dramatically in both American and European cities. Typically, conservatives tend to be more religious than liberals and focus more on religion in politics. In conservative or rural areas, religious people are more abundant than in liberal or urban areas. Religion is becoming less important, and because conservatives want to keep the same aspects, they tend to be more religious. Since the US has a larger conservative and rural area than Europe, the US is usually identified as being more religious. For example, the Southern US is much more religious than the Northern US.
