Are you a bleeding-heart liberal?
Bleeding-heart liberal: Let's break that phrase down.
Bleeding-heart : a person who shows extravagant sympathy especially for an object of alleged persecution
Liberal = a person who is liberal: as a : one who is open-minded or not strict in the observance of orthodox, traditional, or established forms or ways b capitalized : a member or supporter of a liberal political party c : an advocate or adherent of liberalism especially in individual rights
So a bleeding-heart liberal is someone who is sympathetic to the plight of others and open-minded in regards to personal liberty.
Let's try right-wing conservative:
Conservative : one who adheres to traditional methods or views b : a cautious or discreet person
Right-wing: Members of a political party aligned to the Right.
The Right: individuals sometimes professing opposition to change in the established order and favoring traditional attitudes and practices and sometimes advocating the forced establishment of an authoritarian order (as in government).
Straight from Merriam-Webster.
