Liberals tend to favor the creation and maintenance of international institutions like the European Union and NATO. This is because they favor the impartiality of multinational organizations, as well as the spirit of cooperation and community.
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)
They differed over who had power because of their interests; conservatives wanted traditional money related matter to be taken care of, foreign policies, and individual rights being limited and Liberals wants equality, help everyone, focus on our own economy, and personal reform.
Because they just KEEP getting in the way of fascists who don't know they are fascists, and THINK they are Republicans, when they want to do "reasonable" things, like wage unilateral wars on any old trumped up pretext, just like the granddaddy of all Fascists, Hitler. Or because they won't QUIT whining over "stolen elections" whenever the fascists manage to steal one fair and square like they did in 2000, 2004 or 1876. You do realize don't you....wait, what am I saying....if you had paid attention in fourth grade you would know that America was founded by Liberals, it was Liberals who fought the Revolution, its thanks to Liberal thought that you're free to spew your drivel, and if you had been alive at the time of the Revolution you and all the scum like you would have been the biggest, fattest Loyalists and Tories in town. But feel free, and if you do, you should go find a Liberal and thank them for it.
Liberals were sometimes called "bourgeois liberals" because they spoke mostly for the middle class.
Because liberals are strange...
Because after the election in 2008 people have turned against Obama and the liberals have turned conservative, but before they turned they voted for the liberals.

Liberals viewed the French Revolution as a breakthrough because it allowed for a new political order that limited the power of the government.
The word "libertarianism" was made up because progressives in America became known as "liberals", so classical liberals needed a separate label.
