The Truth About Conservatives and Liberals.
Conservatives and Liberals are always portrayed as if they're opposites of each other. Though it may seem as if they have many differences between each other, there is only one difference between the two. That difference is time.
Remember when the Patriot Act was signed into law? Liberals (and Libertarians) were strongly against this, and were told by Conservatives "If you have nothing to hide, why fear?".
Now, through leaks from Edward Snowden, we know that the NSA has secretly been spying on us and tracking our Internet activity. And who supports this? Liberals. Who opposes this? Conservatives (and Libertarians).

Daily reminder that it's not Liberal or Conservative, it's the state vs you.

Not much to back up your gross over-generalizations, but I agree with the spirit of your ideas. Bipartisan thinking is largely uncritical and generally fails to acknowledge that the platforms of the major parties are simply slogans and rhetoric to try and garner the most votes/influence possible. Rational self-depreciation is an integral part of the mature self-correcting process, but the assumption is made by marketers and politicians (and it seems the vast majority of voters) that it is a weakness to be avoided at all costs.
