Conservatism has a core set of principles and beliefs - small government, low taxes, pro-Life, traditional marriage, etc... These values come from a personal sense of morality.
If it comes down to a choice between what is factually correct, and what aligns with conservative ideology - conservatives will usually choose their ideology.
On the other hand, liberalism does not stem from personal morality, but from a desire to accomplish the task at hand. Liberals believe in whatever works - not whatever fits. Liberals are pro-choice because there are too many scenarios for a one-size-fits-all rule. Liberals support multiculturalism because it is a demonstrated method to achieve success (just ask the Army).
