Comprehensive, widely accepted, sound doctrine is essential for a stable and just society.

This explains much of the social and economic problems that the USA is experiencing today. Rather than any accepted doctrine or ideology for social and economic cohesion, our society promotes just the opposite: relativism, secular humanism, radical individualism, multiculturalism (opps, I should say diversity), and narcissism (opps, I should say self-esteem).

So how do we as a country come to agree upon and institute sound doctrine? It starts by the voters demanding that political leaders construct a comprehensive, explicitly stated social and economic ideologies. Then, when elected, we must weigh their every action for consistency with what they stated and promised in their ideological statements. Explicit political ideologies have been largely dismissed by politicians for the very reason that the doctrine makes them accountable.
