I think a good case could be made for Inara and Simon very much holding to liberal values. The fact that the Alliance includes vast levels of corruption and fails to live up to standard doesn't negate those values held by characters. I would even go so far as to place Wash in that camp, too.
Kaylee strikes me as unpolitical. River hasn't voiced much to allow judging. Jayne, Zoe, Mal and Book (I think) strike me as very conservative.
That said, I think the key characteristic to living on Serenity would be "Are you willing to let someone else tell you what to do" and that someone would be Mal. Serenity isn't a democracy and everyday life would very much center around taking orders from The Captain. And he may bully you if he doesn't like you. If that's your taste, I'm sure everyone would be welcome.

I thought the NeoCon was a big Sci-fi expo held every September in Idaho.
Sorry, I guess I got the wrong thread

You're such a boob.
It is not those who use the term "Islamo-Fascism" who are sullying the name of Islam; it is the Islamo-Fascists. - Dennis Prager
