I make no such distinction anymore. The exiled conservative democrats morphed into NeoCons, and have ever since been the demonrats 'fifth column' within the Republican Party. They act as agents to sway conservatives into voting for the demonrat agenda (under the guise of bipartisanship), and failing that, as saboteurs to sow discord within...preventing any effective resistance to that agenda.
As for liberals, one can look into any political party or organization over the last hundred years, and it is clear the liberals are always THE root cause. They act as the gatekeepers that invite in the progressive-libtards, who in turn then roll out the red carpet to the commies, socialists and Far Left.

Do as we say, not as we do; what's fair for us, ain't fair for you! Alinsky would be sooo proud!
