I'm not sure a more or less unilateral invasion of a country and drastically increasing military spending is a really liberal move.
Bush's religious views are inseparable from his policies on gay marriage, abortion and other issues he is to the right.
In the context of western democracies the US in general is an somewhat of outlier on the political spectrum and clearly the Bush Administration was on the further right end (although I wouldn't necessarily say 'radical' is the most apt description) of that spectrum.
