Republicans are the remnant of the Puritans, Democrats are the remnant of the Lutherans.
Martin Luther was the founder of the Protestants. John Calvin was the founder of the Puritans.
Lutherans believe that all men were created equal. Puritans believe in predestination.
Puritans believe that God predestined certain people to be his "chosen" that will go to heaven, all others are destined to go to hell. The "chosen" are the prosperous, the "wealthy". And you must work to be "wealthy" because it is Godly to do so. And anyone that is not prosperous is condemned by God. The Puritans believe that God made certain people to be slaves for the "wealthy".
Lutherans, believing that all are created equal, strive free the slaves from the yoke of the prosperous. They try to break the the rigged game of capitalism that chains the slaves to a life of poverty. Lutherans were the original liberals, liberating the masses from the slavery of Catholicism, that kept everyone in the dark ages for a thousand years.
Copernicus, Glalileo, and Newton were liberals that questioned Catholic dogma. And now that that dogma has been exposed as false, the Vatican has adopted science to prove God. The Vatican now has it's own observatory. And the Pope is now a liberal!...And the Puritans hate him.
