David Hann is interviewed about the history of the Democrats and Republicans. Before you say, "But they are the all the same!" just hold that thought.
He is a Republican, and is coming at it from the angle that the Republicans are superior in morality and thought process than Democrats. But he is talking about the entire history of the USA, not the current DNC and RNC, which are basically the same.

The first few minutes are just chit chat. Go to 9:00 in to get to the real discussion.
Interestingly enough, the Zero Aggression Project comes at it from the same angle: as Libertarians;
