Sure. Below are central conservative standpoints and i'll provide Biblical accounts which run counter to each standpoint:
Economics:
Pro-property (Luke 14:33, Matthew 6:19-33)
Self-centeric (Mark 9:35, James 3:16)
Pro-rich/Anti-poor (Matthew 19:16-30/Mark 10:21-25/Luke 18:18-30)
Society:
Materialism (Matthew 19:16-30/Mark 10:21-25/Luke 18:18-30)
Exclusion (Mark 2:13-17/Matthew 9:9-13/Luke 5:27-32)
Economic class divergence (John 13:12-17)
Government:
Proportional response doctrine (Matthew 5:39)

He aligned Himself with the poor and the oppressed. He challenged the religious orthodoxy of His day. He advocated pacifism and loving our enemies. He liberated women and minorities from oppression. He healed on the Sabbath and forgave adulterers and prostitutes. He associated with drunks and other social outcasts. He rebuked the religious right of His day because they embraced the letter of the law instead of the Spirit. He loved sinners and called them to Himself.

Wasn’t Jesus A Liberal?
The Biblical Jesus would absolutely be liberal by modern standards.
