pat buchanan year 2007 book day of reckoning
in the chapter entitled the gospel love george bush
you write that ideology is my their ***
golden calf ideology is our substitute for religious faith this ideology bad
not I don't know that it's bad but what it is
it is a substitute for free it is political religion
is a belief system one food which is rooted in reality
the other which is rooted basically
in this idea or concept would help with the world is all about and how it ought
to be
and I think it is the great rival to conservatism
conservatism is traditionalism its system a belief that comes outta
wisdom and experience the
people and the human race and basically I have natural of philosophy
what hugh what mankind human nature is like
let me give you one example Woodrow Wilson but said back in nineteen
seventeen
we're going to war to make the world safe for democracy
I was nonsense we went to war because our ships were being sought by the
germans
and that's what robust war secondly our principal allies with the British Empire
largest in the world the French Empire Russian Empire
and the Japanese Empire and Italy which wanted shares of the austro-hungarian
empire
Andhra mania which wanted to carve out part of hungary none of those countries
were going to war
for democracy and the idea that the United States could bring democracy to
the world was preposterous
and in that war we lost 216,000 dead
in a course that were ushered in Hitler and Stalin and mussolini
so ideology the idea that we can create democracy worldwide or something like
that it is a belief system that's not really rooted in reality
and it is the great antagonistic conservatism
