I could go on about this forever but I agree, this is true. I have some very liberal coworkers and friends that I know care about their family equally as much as any conservative.

I believe the difference is the way they go about raising their family. Conservatives typically believe in structure and responsibility. Liberals seem to lean more toward rights and privileges. This shows when it comes to how each raises their family. Every kid and situation is different, it's a fine line to walk raising a kid. You need to provide dicipline and structure but also allow them to make their own choices and be their own person. All of the more liberal people I know give their kids a lot of leeway and freedom which is good in theory, since you hope they'll learn from their mistakes. In practice it can lead to a lot of problems with most kids. Granted, some hardcore conservative that restricts everything for their kids is going to have the problems too; some rebellious kid that hates their parents and grows up to be the Oklahoma bomber or some crap like that. I think moderation is the key. Nevertheless, I know a lot more conservatives than liberals that are moderate with their kids and end up raising a successful family. I also know a lot more conservatives that put their family ahead of work or play, which is more than I can say about my liberal buddies in most cases. Whether you're more conservative or liberal, spending time with your kids is probably the best way to assure they grow up right.
