You don't even need that. You can have a special attachments in minutes in some cases. I'm not talking about individuals but national culture. If you want to preserve long and deeply held traditions that is considered conservative. If you personally grew up with something that was very different than the main stream culture of your society an attempt to preserve it isn't conservative, at least not in the same way. We are miscommunicating I think. There are conservatives and liberals in a wide range of things, from religions and political parties to various other philosophies. There are traits about conservatives and liberals that are common across these disparate fields. Thus, young firebrands that reject the ways of their elders to forge something new are often (but not always) liberal. They themselves later in life or perhaps their offspring often circle the wagons (metaphorically) to defend the status quo. Thats the point at which they have become conservatives within whatever field of play is involved. Our society is so diverse, that what we call conservative and liberal for the nation as a whole, is mostly a matter of how closely you align with overall conservative behavior vs liberal behavior. So in 4 out of 5 important areas, one might be conservative, but liberal in the 5th. We call such a person conservative. Which is why pigeonholes don't neatly fit most people.
