I dunno, really. I never gave it much thought to what my leanings are.
Liberals want an Utopian future
Conservatives want a glorified past
I remember an old joke/observation. "A liberal is a conservative who hasn't been robbed."
A liberal is also a conservative who isn't terrified of everyting.
I've heard a lot of the little snippets like that.... "if you're young and conservative, you don't have a heart, if you're older and liberal, you don't have a brain", etc. Most of them are snide little condescensions from conservatives about how being liberal is naive, immature, unrealistic or unintelligent.

That's basically a nice way of saying anarchist. Oh he's a racist as well, though I don't count that as a political ideology in it's self, it fits in nice with a few of them though. Like conservative.

I was thinking of "inbred country-ass sheet-wearing redneck from the shallow end of the gene pool," but I guess yours works too.

Ah, Pete - you and deep both missed our "Confederate States of America" resident Holocaust-denier. A good time was had by all.
Some good reading:

Actually, this guy's excuse to try and avoid having anyone argue against him was that Graham and Ian would be arrested if we discussed the matter. Once Seafort et. al. shed the truth, we let him have it.
