You're saying like these two are different species...

Both liberalism and conservatism are in our blood, by the way. We always wants to be free and do what we want, when we want; and become idealistic (liberal) and yet we always want things to go our way, to have regulations, to preserve your tradition, etc; with is "conservative."
