That said, I see a common complaint raised in this article: conservatives push for certain issues (abortion, homosexuality) and don't care about the rest. And liberals have their pet issues like the environment, the homeless; they are just two sides of the same coin. BUT it is unfair to compare them that way.
In my experience, I've never heard Christian conservative movements 'give up' or stray from the gospel, thinking that these earthly solutions will fix everything. On the other hand, liberal groups often are also theologically liberal, i.e., they don't honor the authority of the Bible, and seldom care about Christ's mandate to preach the kingdom, save souls; instead, it comes from a kind of 'liberation theology' (read: marxism) that justs sees the Bible as encouraging us to help the oppressed.
