We seem to try and compartmentalize and label people and that is too broad a brush to paint with. a person can be liberal in one area and conservative in the next. having said that as a general statement as one poster pointed out the greatest generation was of the same thought process but then the depression and WWII kind of forced that issue i.e. self preservation

Finally attitudes shift within each generation due to the maturation process

I am thinking of printing this post and framing it.

I absolutely agree and I think you show great wisdom in saying this.
