Jeffery, a good article. But this needs some balance. You put Conservative ideology neatly into three categories, which is interesting. So what categories do you assign to Progressive/Leftist ideology? It would be interesting to have you write an article on that subject.

Thank you! I teach a class on our contemporary political factions and ideological camps but I have never published them. Perhaps I shall soon now that you have said this! Just to give the categories, I usually divide them into liberals (though of course there is much broader liberal philosophy as well), worker based progressives, and identity based progressives.
Thank you for your reply and suggestions on the three categories of the Progressive/ Leftist philosophies. If you do put together an article of this nature it would be good to hear the research on which your views are based, and address what Yasha said about the Republican party....... "and which offers a positive alternative to a Republican Party dominated by extremists..." except to change "Republicans...." to "Democrat" From Yasha's comment about the Republican Party he plainly states his beliefs. One wonders if there is evidence that the Democrat Party is dominated by extremists?
