I'm not sure what you're looking for here. I do think that it would be interesting for the premises of different political ideologies to be outlined. How do you see this happening? How would you articulate a liberal ideology (or your own ideology) in such a fashion? Could you give an example?
This may be a topic for another thread...

If you're an academic and you disagree with a conservative position (or "don't take it seriously"), you have no idea what you're talking about, you live in a sheltered environment, and you're probably "sucking of the government tit"? Yikes!
