Just to be straight I find extremism in either 'direction' irritating. I lived for 5 years near Colorado Springs (home to the U.S. Air Force Academy and multiple military bases) in a very conservative area and I was no fan of that either. I made those statements because people tend to assume liberal=diverse and that's not necessarily the case.
And I'm getting the results I expected and hoped for asking something like this on a car forum. A pretty wide range of opinions and experiences?
