Why are liberals so concerned with living around their own kind? I have noticed probably 300 threads that read "Looking for Nice Liberal Area".
Now liberals claim to be all about diversity but how come they don't want to live in a diverse area when it comes to politics? Maybe conservatives just have no choice since every city in America is majority liberal so I guess we just get used to it and deal with it. I live in a gay/liberal area and I'm a very conservative person, and religious as well. I have no problem being the only conservative within 5miles. I have a gay neighbor and were great friends I just don't see the big deal with living around like minded political families.

your mindset is how more people should think. I think for the most part if you have a lifestyle that is not considered mainstream or have experienced hatred, you would want to live somewhere more tolerant. I do not mind living with people who are different than me but with that said I would not move to an area where men with muliple wives were the norm, as I would not find anyone to truly connect with. I would be telling the wives they either need to get 6 husbands to even things out, or I would be telling the women they were nuts to live like that. either way I would be the odd ball and I doubt I would find a true friend that understood me.
If I moved to an area 100% conservative, I would be completely bored, we need liberals and hippies to keep the entertainment alive. I love all the different characters you see in the city. Just sitting on my stoop of my rowhouse I will see a millionaire walk by then a homeless guy then a vegan then a NRA member. Life is too short to get all worked up over politics however a citizen should be involved in his neighborhood.
I've found you get along better with people you have the same basic belief systems with, and generally people don't want to be told the way they live their lives is wrong because it's not the same as the people around them.
The funny thing is there is no set definition of each, each is a degree of what the person feels are values of each extreme (which changes over time). I am considered the most conservative person in my office right now, in my last job I was considered a staunch liberal person...different states and just took a week to move. People have their own internal dialogs on what constitutes each, and the category the people around them fit in.

Liberal tend not to be like minded. Liberalism is a much broader philosophy than conservatism. There's only so many people I want to here from about how they were "born again."

I'm 26 and friends with a lot of god lovers like myself and I have never heard anyone tell me how they were born again unless I asked. Just my two pennies
