I think that 'liberal' and 'conservative' are too general nowadays...

I think as far as liberal goes... you could have some wide eyed bleeding heart idealist that believes people are all good, and if you just don't offend anyone, everyone will just get along and be shiny happy people.

Then there are those that believe people can't take care of themselves, so we need vast social support programs, which leads to beaurocracy. These people also tend to believe that people who make a lot more money than they do, simply don't need the money, and they should be taxed at a much higher rate than the average joe.

Then there are extreme leftists which believe in social/communist utopia... kinda a combination of all of the above.


For conservative...

We have the religious right. Everything is weighed by their own brand of interpretation of the bible. "what would Jesus do" is the mantra of everything they try to do.

Then we have pretty average people that work for their money, and think they should keep it. They detest social welfare, as it breeds dependancy, and perpetuates the cycle. They resist change. Dislike illegal immigration.

Myself, I lean toward conservative, but consider myself more 'realistically moderate'.
