Watch out. The "palaeos," the Menckenites, the neo-Confederates, the Birchites, and the Puritan-bashers will skin you alive for not seeing the Roundheads as the liberals and the Cavaliers as the conservatives!
"Palaeos" think religion is excellent if used to conserve the values of the ethnoculture, but they don't like people taking it too seriously.

the Puritan-bashers will skin you alive for not seeing the Roundheads as the liberals and the Cavaliers as the conservatives! The puritans were hypocritical freedom-hating heretics. They attempted to create a kingdom of God in this world and ended up only creating the very worst elements of a kingdom of man. That is why they resemble the liberals, only they supplant their ancestors' religious claims (and I do mean ancestors in both the literal and ideological sense) with the false idols of today - "diversity" and "multiculturalism" and "social justice" and "liberation theology."
You should also take note that the direct theological heir of New England puritanism today is the unitarian church - a fringe leftist denomination that emerged out of new england and is enamored with all of the aforementioned "causes."

I don't know if I'd qualify precisely as a "Puritan-basher." I do kind of have a problem with Cromwell, seeing as how he would have probably had my head on pike lickety-split had I live in Ireland 4 centuries ago. The whole absolute dictator thing kind of bothers me a little too. Note sarcasm in tone of this post.
