When compared to being an American, being a Republican or a Democrat is being a foreigner. Now, if the purposes of the Republican or Democratic parties are to lead Americans back to the Civil-Purpose established by our Founding-Fathers, then they both exist as American parties sharing the same bipartisan agenda with the only differences between them being their philosophies of how they might help return us to our Civil-Purpose in order that we reestablish our American souls.
Likewise, when compared to being a new world citizen, being a liberal or a conservative is old world. Such political theory was devised by Aristotle, after all, as a "golden mean" to help keep Greeks moderate in their thinking and thus avoid the political extremes of the spectrum.
Why do we continue confusing new world, American politics with that of old world, European politics?
