Not necessarily. A specific liberal may be more compassionate than a specific conservative, but the reverse can also be true.

Is the word liberal a positive or negative connotation?
In my opinion, it has mostly a Negative Connotation because to me a Liberal is a person who pretends they know everything, and thinks everyone is a moron, Redneck, or a Southern piece of Trash. Of course, the above connotation works for people who describe themselves as conservatives. People who describe themselves as liberals tend to think that liberals are people who are compassionate, caring, more interested in justice than the interests of the rich, and free from prejudice. As you see, some people see liberals as those free from prejudice and others as people full of prejudice. It totally depends on who you are.
Which party is better liberals or conservatives?
It is hard to say which party is better. Both have their faults and both have their strong points. That is why there are two parties. One will get into office and clean up the mess its predecessor made and then start making its own mess, and then the reverse happens. We need both. Alright, here is the complete, un-bias answer. We need both, both have good ideas and bad ideas. But if your asking which is better. Again, being un bias. Conservatism works out better than libertarianism. A political poll taken in 2010 showed that the conservative ideas on: gun control, marijuana legalization, immigration, environment regulation, media censorship, and prostitution, work out better than the liberal ideas. But liberal have it on: abortion, religion in schools, and the war on terror.

What is wrong with the liberal brain?
The presumption that something is "wrong" with Liberals is incorrect. There is nothing wrong with having an opinion different than the one with you are accustomed. If there is a particular issue about liberal policy that a non-liberal finds confusing, such as a liberal's view on gun policy, a liberal's view on welfare, a liberal's view on the military, or a liberal's theory on economic policy, please ask that with a degree of specificity and neutrality. I.e. "How does a liberal justify universal healthcare?" or "Why do liberals want to restrict gun ownership rights when the Constitution requires them to not be infringed?" Conservatives may find it difficult to believe, but Liberals do, generally, have a rational and complex thought pattern. Liberals find Conservatives, oftentimes, just as confusing an irrational as Conservatives find Liberals.

What are the difference between liberals and conseratives?
You will get a variety of answers to this question, some more biased than others. Liberals will argue about the innate evil of corporations and capitalism, the place our country has in the world, and protection of minorities and other oppressed groups. Conservatives will argue that individual rights and personal liberty, both economic and social, must not be interfered with by governments or any authoritative body. I feel it boils down to a difference in the view of human nature. Liberals believe that people are fundamentally good for the most part. Conservatives believe that people are fundamentally flawed. The majority of the differences in their respective policies and rhetoric stem from this difference.

Is it fair or accurate that liberals often get criticized for supporting big government?
Liberals often get criticized for supporting "big government" because Liberals, in general, are more supportive than Conservatives in the idea that the government can have a role in the solution to problems that face the people. This is related to the historical political connection of liberal, as a term, to the idea that their are more ways to solve problems than the Conservatives believe. Hence the term liberal...referring to variety rather than just a few ways to solve things. Conservative, on the other hand, is historically more associated with the idea of doing things the way they have been done in the past. Thus, to conserve (politically to conserve the way we do things) was and remains more associated with the Conservative Party. As well, the Conservative Party, in most countries, supports people doing things on their own or through private help from friends, churches, etc. rather than the government.
