Liberal vs Conservative
Conservatives see America as being virtuous...and can do no wrong....that we stand for Freedom, Democracy, God, Mom and Apple Pie....
Liberals see an America that can do NO right, that everything is done to serve special interests....and think that America SHOULD be more virtuous...
Yet America NEVER was nor NEVER will be virtuous and that the poor and special interest groups will always be with us...
This is REALITY....
In the scheme of Nation States and Empires...there are numerous examples of countries that are/were worse than the USA....but I can't think of one that has acted better, when so much power and wealth was bestowed on it...in other words our ideals are high but we mostly/sometimes fail to live up to them...
(One may think of little Switzerland...but their hands were dirty with Nazi gold....)
