If a conservative had said it- they would demand his head

The Democrats used to be the conservative party, and the Republicans the progressives. They have since flipped, and now it's the Democrats voting for changes, and the Republicans who like things as they are.

Unless my memory is faulty. It's been a while since my last history class.

You know, I just decided something for myself.
I'm going to try not to feed into the media's whole blue versus red thing. Both sides represent one country. My country, our country. Instead of trying to take each other down, they should be working together to make us all stronger. The way these two ineffectual parties work can be likened to playground shenanigans. Phooey on both sides and phooey on the media.

Your memory is fine. They didn't actually "flip", but evolved away from what they were at one time. In essence you are correct.
