What about Democrat and Republican? "Democrat" - believes in equity, the will/feelings of the majority over the individual, direct vote, rights flowing from civil society. "Republican" - believes in equality before the law, the retained rights of the individual upon which the majority cannot encroach or must fully mitigate (eminent domain,) elected layers of representative government, rights flow from the Creator.
Ahh but in some cases there are reversals on that. A Democrat may believe in a woman's right for "choice" in killing her unborn baby, whereas a Republican can see the greater good in a collective ascertain of life. This can of course be argued differently (to assert one claim and discredit the other). Personally I feel Republicans are more individualist (i.e. individuals over collectives) and Democrats are collectivist (i.e. vice versa). The names are merely colorful masks to the ideas they represent. A Democracy (rule of many people) versus a republic (elected individuals who make choices for all). Just my $0.02.
