Lesson 1: The Ideological Origins of American Politics
(Идеологические истоки американской политики)
https://services.online.missou ... .aspxТам, кстати, и Декларация Независимости упоминается.
По-моему, данная страница доказывает то, что никакой "официальной государствененой идеологии" в США нет, люди придерживаются разных взглядов:
Цитата:
Ideological Opinion of the Average American
The reality is, as a people, Americans are not very good at exactly stating their views. According to a recent poll by the Roper Organization, which repeats results found over and over in such studies, about one-third of the public says it is conservative, one-third says it is liberal, and one-third says it is moderate, independent. This means about one-third of the public is consistently conservative—they say they don't like government, it is inefficient, and government programs are a burden.
About one-third of the public is consistently liberal—they say government is beneficial, and its programs benefit society. The remaining third of the public has inconsistent views—for example, they say government, in general, is inefficient, but when asked about specific programs, such as Social Security or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, they like the programs.
The independents are, therefore, often ideological conservatives but operational liberals. The result is that if you ask the American public questions about government, something close to two-thirds will agree generally that government is bad or insufficient, but when asked about specific government programs, such as government spending on education, crime prevention, or environmental protection, two-thirds will respond more like liberals. Therefore, the way a question is worded can provide data to support virtually any opinion.
Идеология во-первых, не может быть тотальной. Во-вторых, идеологические различия, например, между демократами и республиканцами практически отсутствуют. Есть только клановые интересы. И, если посмотреть на успехи либералов на выборах (либералами в США, в отличие от России, называют социалистов), то это доли процентов.
