Maybe... but I hope you're not dismissing it because of that. I like to think that while cultural bias is natural... that there is a common ground we can find to have such discussion.

First of all, I don't buy into ideas similar to political liberal vs. conservative... right wing vs. left wing.
I believe being liberal is a common human concept, not a political one.

Well not quite. It's the idea that liberalism on an international level will ensure peace via interdependency and result in a collective/common security. It's based on the ideology of Liberalism.
I don't think politics, values etc are absolute so in one sense I agree with you. I do think that these concepts are useful in discussing patterns, trends etc.

After all we discussed between you and me, haven't you noticed that we have a totally different value that we can't even discuss a single topic functionally?
You are a smart man with a very straight-forward attitude. Sorry but perhaps you are being a bit loosy.

I can agree to disagree I suppose.
