It always amazes me how some people are so quick to label anyone they disagree with or whose actions they dislike as being "liberal" or "right wing" or "libertarian" even with absolutely no evidence as to their political party membership or voting record. Where I grew up almost everyone on welfare was white, fundamentalist christian, and voted however their favorite TV preacher told them to, which was pretty much the Republican party line. Of course virtually the whole county was white, fundamentalist christian, and voted republican, so why should the trailer park folk have been any different? But I wouldn't think of extrapolating from that experience that anyone on welfare must be a white christian republican, especially just because I disliked their position on one issue.
