I find my self-made friends to be more "liberal" and the ones who got where they are with the help of daddy's last name and check book to be more conservative. On the same token, though, I see many "liberals" who are 28, work at a call center, and expect the government to do everything for everyone including them. I dislike that attitude a great deal, even as a liberal myself.

I don't like self-righteous people whether they're conservative or liberal. If you're conservative in the sense that you think anything "new" should be approached with a great deal of caution and study, then I respect you - we need people like that. If you're conservative because "fuck government", you're just as bad as the liberals who are liberal because "give me money" in my opinion.
