What I mean is, . . .

"I'm liberal. You, you aristocrat,
won't know exactly what I mean by that.
I mean, so altruistically moral,
I never take my own side in a quarrel."

Frost was probably half-joking, but I think that's about the size of it. I seem to feel a bit of a sense of guilt that goes along with it: Half-suspecting that the conservatives are almost as correct on a few points as they think they are, and feeling guilty for disagreeing with them. Maybe guilt because I used to call myself conservative back when conservative (so I thought) meant supporting the U.S. Constitution.
