-You know a number of conservatives "at your school", which I'm assuming is a very small number of conservatives. (note that for our purposes, even 2000 would be a small number)
-These people are isolated into one geographical area.
-You are correlating personality traits ("nice") with political beliefs or affiliation.
-You are then extending a subjective analysis of this small group's personality on all other people with the same political affiliation.
Before, I posted in a sarcastic fashion, for the sake of irony, as I am an economic conservative - however, I think it's clear that you are, at least in a sense, making a bizarre and unfair generalization here. There are plenty of kind conservatives, just as there are massive numbers of compassionate liberals. The ones that are the most vocal and 'in-your-face' are, at the same time, the least 'nice' and most recognizable . . . don't extend these peoples' personalities onto everyone. It's gross and unnecessary stereotyping.
