Being an ideologue is what everyone should be. Being an ideologue means you actually have beliefs and principles and a moral foundation. That is the difference between a man and an animal.
Anyone can be a “patriot.” It’s a relativistic term. A patriot in Nazi Germany was immoral. A patriot in the U.S.A. in WW2 was a hero. Patriot doesn’t tell you anything without the context. Ideology tells you everything. Beliefs transcend a country or borders and are immutable. They are what a leader NEEDS to have to be good.

Interesting. Russell Kirk called conservatism the antithesis of ideology. But what would he know...

I hope people will reread the above quote. It is the basis for globalism.
