I think my major confusion with his speech is that being from Canada, I have no idea what the terms 'liberal left' or 'democrat' actually mean.
Even in Canada, liberals, conservatives etc... they're all the same. Dishonest polititians who will lie and say anything to get elected, and then break all their promises once they're in power. Nothing ever changes and life is the same no matter who is in power so to me it's all just "The Government" to me. Dishonest, overpaid liars who don't have a clue what it's like to actually live in the real world.

So basically... splitting the U.S. government up into terms like 'left', 'conservative', 'democrat' etc., and then assigning certain beliefs and actions based on labelling an entire catagory of people....
Totally confusing to me.
