Adolph Hitler and his Nazi party were arousing constituencies by the following IDEOLOGY:
1. They directly opposed CONSERVATISM - the idea that it is best to avoid dramatic social and political change.
2. Dramatic social and political CHANGE was the main slogan of Nazis emphasizing the idea of National renewal.
3. They asserted that the Nation was in political and economic CRISIS and with their help the CRISIS will end and a new age will begin that restores the people to a sense of “belonging, purpose, and greatness“.
What happened after the victory of Nazis in 1933 is well known.
Seventy five years later in 2008 the People of the United States cast their votes.
Americans legitimately brought to Power the Democratic Party and made Barack Obama the President of the United States.
Barack Obama and the Democratic party were arousing constituencies by utilizing the very same ideological platform that worked successfully for Nazis in 1933.
1. Democrats directly opposed CONSERVATISM - the idea that it is best to avoid dramatic social and political change.
2. Dramatic social and political CHANGE was the main slogan of Democrats emphasizing the idea of National renewal.
3. Democrats asserted that the Nation was in political and economic CRISIS and with their help the CRISIS will end and a new age will begin that restores the people to a sense of “belonging, purpose, and greatness“.
What will happen after the victory of Democrats in 2008 remains to be seen.
Let's be accurate!
In spite of American Democrats shamelessly adapting 1933 ideological platform of Nazis in election of 2008 and promoting Socialism in America they are still far from German national-socialists with their inhuman Ideology of the superiority of German race.
However, Democrats have learned very well the historical lesson in the mighty POWER OF IDEOLOGY by attacking conservatism, calling for change and emphasizing of crisis. Thus they have won the election of 2008 and Barack Obama is the democratically elected next President of the United States.
No wander they did! Liberals who are heavily armed with wrong, but historically proven IDEOLOGY defeated armless conservatives who were fighting with the absence of any coherent ideology, and continuing to be very proud of their "ideology of no ideology".
Will Republicans ever learn that CONSERVATISM IS NOT IDEOLOGY and it never has been ideology?
Conservatism is just a political, and/or economic and/or social view that can be under a certain pressure changed, misrepresented, altered, misused. Therefore, “ideology of no ideology” preaching by conservatives clearly does not work anymore facing ideologically charged opponents.
Obviously, the only way to restore political stand of the Republican Party is to develop own mighty IDEOLOGY capable to confront the Power of Ideology adapted by Democrats.
The new GOP Ideology should be based on a merge of conservative views and practical ideals of the Constitution of the United States making the GOP a party of the Ideology of the U.S. Constitution.
Moreover, for advancing this new GOP Ideology it requires a wide variety of Ideological Instruments and Ideological Forces for ideological Education, PR and all sorts of "useful Arts" and most importantly "useful" Performing Arts necessary to impact ideologically immature minds of the American people.
