I think you nailed it. Probably the biggest issue that liberals seem to have is their failure to comprehend why others can't/won't live life in the same way that they do. Almost ignorance by choice, as if they refuse to believe that there is a world outside of theirs. Anyone who refuses to embrace their way of life is "ignorant", "uneducated", etc. However, in the same breath they will tell you how they support open and free thought, the right to live life however you want to. It's a rather odd and confusing condition.
