A liberal conservative will likely support [[gun control]], [[abortion]] and equal rights for [[gay rights|homosexuals]], but oppose [[embryonic stem cell research]] and [[death penality]]. This, of course, varies a bit.

After Burke's death, groups without liberal ideals began to call themselves ''conservative''. Opposing the French Revolution was a thing they had in common with Burke, but was often groups from the existing overclass/nobility, who wanted to secure their positions and the current political system, which gave them large benefits. Rivalizations between those and the liberal conservatives have affected conservative parties in Europe from the 19th century to large parts of the 20th century.
In our days, conservatism is much looked at as an ideology just for conserve. The liberal conservatives are, on the contrary, optimists when looking at the future, and follows the more or less ''paradoxical'' phrase "conserve, to change".
