Liberal vs Conservatives - A jewish question

I started a dialog with another Rabbi concerning the differences between liberals and conservatives. In our first couple of interchanges, we just try to clarify the definition and goals of liberals and conservatives, and how our Jewish background influences some of these choices.
I am going to try to black out all names but my own to protect the innocent. Can't black out my name, its my blog.

Dear Rabbi,
Your question requires a fair amount of effort, thought and study to reach a coherent answer. I’d be happy to dialog on it with you, although perhaps RavKav is not the most appropriate forum for a focused discussion.
I believe we need to discuss the following:

1. Liberalism The Promise and its results
a. On the Economic Front
b. On the Social Front
2. Conservatism – The Promise and its results
a. On the Economic Front
b. On the Social Front
3. Jewish Ethics (or my own?)
I believe that they need to be studied in this fashion to clarify what we both believe Liberalism and Conservatism to mean, only then can we talk about our ethics (Jewish plus our own) and how they match with each definition.

To start, let me give you a few simplifications that are often heard in conservative circles:
1. Charity is giving to the poor and weak from the heart, not taking from someone else by force (taxation) and providing it to the poor.
2. The larger the government the smaller the citizen.
3. Liberalism is to insist on equality of results, not equality of opportunity.
4. Liberals believe that diminishing the rich will provide for the poor. This has never happened in history.
As you can see. I understood you to ask for a fair amount of work.

I would be interested in corresponding with a fellow Rabbi on this subject matter.

I graduated in 72 from HUC, but have been a software engineer most of my life.

I look forward to your response.
