Neither right nor left give a damn about upholding the Founders' ideals. The left wants a utopian nanny state complete with health care that will make sure you always buckle your seatbelt, don't talk on the cellphone while driving, and pay 60% of your income in taxes in tithe each year to the all-knowing, all-powerful State. The right wants to turn the country into a religious state, where a violent, Old Testament, Christianist God is worshipped, the children are kept safe from violent video games, the Internet, television, the press, and every other media is censored in the name of "the children" -- and you pay 60% of your income to pay for the all-knowing, all-powerful State.
Well, good luck with that.
