The issue is that our sense of left and right is skewed compared to the rest of the world.

Our liberals are European moderates.

Our conservatives are Middle Eastern moderates.


The saddest part is that America used to be the most liberal nation on Earth. Now the freedoms granted by the Founding Fathers are almost meaningless to the average voter.

In Ireland, there is nothing even close to the right of US politics. The left is around the same.  In most of Europe it's the same. So by comparing either of the US wings to two different areas of the world, you have.....nothingness. "A Mazda 3 is faster than a Fiat Punto and more stylish than a Seat Leon."
