If you ask literally anybody who's not from America or Northwestern Europe, America was definitely founded by people who were socially and economically liberal by the standards of their time. No Russian, Chinese, Saudi Arabian, Turk, or even Brazilian who knows anything about history will ever call the American Founding Fathers "conservative" because they were clearly against state-mandated religion, in favor of the open criticism of government policies, and all against monarchism or any kind of pure authoritarian system.
America's Founding Fathers only come off as "conservative" in the minds of people who have little to no historical consciousness or awareness of what being conservative actually meant during the Enlightenment era. Americans have no traditions of having clerics informing the government on laws to enforce regarding banking, marriage, and civil contracts, nor do they have any traditions regarding actual feudalism. They simply cannot conceive the idea that people above them can have power granted to them by God to will others into behaving in a specific way, to earn money in specific ways, to not be allowed to purchase or employ tools forbidden to those of their rank or caste, or anything of such sort.
The fact of the matter is that American "conservatives" are obsessed with a fixed set of "freedoms" that no other society in history before would've taken for granted, and American "liberals" are interested in seeking for the common welfare in a way comparable to that of other countries' progressives, yet somehow American "conservatives" fail to see that the rights that they hold so dearly are but means to implementing the objectives that American "liberals" have.
Ask an American, and he will tell you the two parties in his country have nothing in common, but ask any foreigner and he will tell you that America's two main parties differ only in branding, even though their ultimate objectives are the same: more money for Israel and Wall Street.
