We only have two parties in this country, and they aren't ideologies. 50 years from now, the Democratic Party could be a Conservative party. It's happened before and can happen again. That's why so many don't care for party loyalty, they see them shift in their lifetimes.

I'm a laid back peaceful person, but I can see myself warning them of what the outcome of a boo during Mrs. Obama's speech would be.
