Take a look at George Lakoff's "Moral Politics" for a cognitive psych take on liberal vs. conservative ideology.
"Democracy's Discontent" by Michael Sandel is good.
Chomsky is good, very "critical-theory" oriented.
What about "A Confederacy of Dunces"? Fiction, and old fiction at that, but still enlightening.
Anything by John Rawls.
Gore Vidal, Kevin Phillips, haven't read their stuff but have heard good things.
