Notice how political parties are said to be LEFT if liberal or RIGHT if conservative.
Think for a minute, when is LEFT ever right? --- Case in point, somebody with wrong ideas is said to be out in LEFT field, never in right field. Also, somebody with a few screws loose is said to be LEFT of center, not right of center.
However, just the word for conservatism itself is RIGHT. Also note that somebody who can be trusted and relied upon is your RIGHT hand man, not your left hand man.
Is it all a coincidence?
