Points out a general difference we often see between liberals and conservatives.
Liberals, generally support big government micro-controls in every aspect of life and really are not comfortable with diversity of thought.
These two cannot even abide living in an area where there is a conservative down the road who exercises his first amendment rights.
Most conservatives I know have a live and let live respect for individual freedom.
Many live with strong viewed liberals nearby and just laugh at their idiocy and peccadilloes, but would not dream of letting the presence of a liberal drive them from their home.

I got a similar series of observations from one of my conservative/Republican SILS.
If a conservative/Republican does not like guns, he doesn’t buy one. If a DemocRat does not like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.
If a conservative/Republican is a vegetarian, he doesnot eat meat. If a DemocRat is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.
If a conservative/Republican is homosexual, he quietly leads his life. If a DemocRat is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.
If a conservative/Republican is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation. If a DemocRat is down-and-out he wonders who is going to take care of him.
If a conservative/Republican does not like a talk show host, he switches channels. A DemocRat demands that those they do not like be shut down.
If a conservative/Republican is a non-believer, he does not go to church. A DemocRat non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.
If a conservative/Republican decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it. If a DemocRat decides he needs health care, he demands that the rest of us pay for his health care.
