They don't exist.

(1,372 posts)A liberal conservative is a conservative who leans toward the liberal side
and the other is a liberal who leans toward the conservative side
The first word is an adjective that modifies the second word
Similar to saying a liberal Republican
and a conservative Democrat
Words were meant to convey ideas. You can string them together any way you like as long as you get your point across.

(1,372 posts)I like what bluesbassman said in post #7
But I'll add this
IF you cann yourself a conservative liberal you still, are not calling yourself
a conservative.
Less confusing: If you are a conservative Democrat you are still not
calling yourself a Republican
Then there is always the differentiation that was made by Bluesbassman
which you could say either complicates things or is a different way of looking
at the distinction between the two.
