The difference between liberals and conservatives mirrors the difference between urban dwellers and rural folks.

Urban dwellers are dependent on services brought to them. Rural folks take care of themselves.

Urban dwellers are far less in touch with the natural cycles of life/death, and nature in general. Rural folks know it all too well.

Urban dwellers have too much time on their hands. Rural folks are busy using their hands.

Urban dwellers look down on rural folks. Rural folks pity urban dwellers.

Urban dwellers don’t bother looking up at the stars because they have all the light they need. Rural dwellers look up and see the hand of God.

Urban dwellers preach about saving the environment. Rural folks know that to be a true environmentalist, live where the environment will kill you. You’ll learn to be a true environmentalist real fast.

There are those urban dwellers who have the rural soul, but many have forgotten that it is the individual, not the state that created that urban environment they live in.

Thomas Jefferson made similar points in his notes on Virginia.

Urban versus rural tends to reflect liberal versus conservative, as I read your post. Agreed.

A couple of local talk jocks made a wager on the air. The loser was required to drive across rural Georgia in a Geo or Neon or something, using secondary roads only, with the back window emblazoned thusly:

“I AM A GAY URBAN LIBERAL AND I’M HERE TO TAKE AWAY YOUR GUNS!!”

Don’t recall if the bet loser survived his terrifying ride.

;^)
