    What exactly makes a view point conservative or liberal? How do we seemingly intuitively know that a particular stance is a conservative or liberal one?

    Conservative: you have positive feelings (even nostalgic/romantic?) about your culture/society/morals/systems.

    Liberal: you have negative feelings (even contemptuous/ashamed?) about your culture/society/morals/systems.

    Affection and contempt are virtually impossible to hide for prolonged periods.

    From the thread title I thought you were asking what makes you a light aircraft carrier.

    Too much Kancolle. -.-

    Additionally,

    Conservative implies to uphold culture/society/morals/systems as they are (or was).
    Liberal seeks freedom from the current culture/society/morals/systems.

    Hence the words "conservative", from "conserve", and "liberal", from "liberate".

    What Oscillation said, Conservatives want to preserve or revert* back to previous standards of living, liberals want to change from them. The way I see it, people are liberal until their way of life becomes the norm, then they become conservative.

    *Unless we're talking specifically about American conservatism and liberalism, in which case it's more "Christian values" vs sexual freedom and social equality, which answers OP's 2nd question.

    That last bit is underlined because when coupled with social liberalism, it becomes more centrist and/or Libertarian.
