Default OT Stereotypes of "liberals" vs "conservatives"

This has become quite the healthy thread, as might be expected from
the subject.

It begs the question as to whether this is an occluded troll, or if
this is the result of miscegenation between the metal group and the
wooddorking group.

There seems to be a stereotype that "liberals" are the lazy sorts of
people who interrupt TV viewing only to go to soup lines, or smoke
harmful substances, whereas "conservatives" are hard working, self
reliant people who are very well off due to their own perseverance and
work ethic.

And yet, the few self proclaimed or suspected liberals and Obama
supporters of this newsgroup, seem to be very well off, accomplished
people, whereas many conservatives, while intelligent and interesting
people on many levels, are not exactly above that kind of level of
attainment.

If that is the case, is that perhaps the time to reconsider our
stereotypes?
