For his time and place, he was very liberal.

Disagree. His ideas may have been radical to the establishment, but the Master was the ultimate in conservative. To realize this, you must consider His ultimate goal: that of reconciling man to God. Basically, a return to a singular principle of denying self in favor of God.

Liberalism is the polar opposite.

[MrB]

Liberalism is quintessentially “worldliness”, being a friend of the world (and the father of this world - Satan).

James 4:4
Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

[Never on my watch]

I don't care if Jesus is called a conservative or not.

But since Jesus is the antithesis of Evil, he cannot be a Liberal (in the Democrat Party sense). Liberals require a compromise with, or outright submission to Evil, and I don't remember Jesus being big on the whole “compromising beliefs” thingy.

Yes, radical, and also very liberal in contrast to the establishment.

His ultimate goal: that of reconciling man to God.

Agreed, and he'd probably be shocked at a good portion of organized Christianity today.
