...I see thousands and thousands of people who believe it is a felony to drive something other than a $60,000 suv, a BMW, or a Mercedes, they must have a boat and they must have a real ugly McMansion. It’s a tad revolting.

On a personal level I agree. I always thought it would be funny if I won the lottery to buy a 3 to 4 acre plot in an upscale neighborhood, surround the property with an imposing fence and build smack in the middle a 600 sq. ft. cabin. Park a couple 15 to 20 year old cars in front.

Getting to your point, as a person that believes that people can essentially buy what they want I don't begrudge conservatives that buy the BMW's, Mercedes etc.. But I do loathe hypocritical liberals (bumperstickers) that surely are on the environmental kick politically but personally see no need to practice what they preach.

In short, I loathe hypocrites of any age, means, race, gender, at variance with one's professed liberal OR conservative views/beliefs.

I agree - it's borrowing what you want and pretending that you actually own it that is rather irksome. ;)
