Liberals VS Conservatives: Why everyone has it wrong
The political war: liberalism vs conservatism. Red vs Blue. Democrats vs Republicans. They are backwards, they are elite - we are right, they are wrong. It's a tale as old as time and a song that most of us are tired of hearing. Is there a different way to approach the issue? You bet.
