Inqaku loMhleli: Ukuba iCongress yagqibela le Republican ngo-1928, sinokukhumbula ukuba iNdlu yeeNgwevu yeRiphabhlikhi yowe-1928 iqinisekisiwe isivumelwano sokuphelisa yonke imfazwe, esezincwadini.

Ngoku ukuba i-Republican Party ― ilizwi eligcina amandla kwezopolitiko zase-US ― lifumene olona lawulo lubalaseleyo lweCongress oluyonwabileyo ukusukela nge1928, lixesha elifanelekileyo lokujonga ngokugqibeleleyo kule mihla.
Abalondolozi benze ezinye iinkonzo eziluncedo kubantu baseMelika ngokuqhubeka kwimbali yaseMelika. Alexander Hamilton lubeke ikhredithi yesizwe kwisiseko esinamandla ngakumbi ngasekupheleni kwenkulungwane yeshumi elinesibhozo. Ukuzimisela ukwenza ulwazi lufumaneke kubo bonke abantu baseMelika, Andrew Carnegie Ixhaswe ngemali ukuphuculwa kwenkqubo yamathala eencwadi yasimahla yaseMelika ngasekupheleni kwenkulungwane yeshumi elinesithoba nasekuqaleni kwamashumi amabini Ngexesha lokuqala kwenkulungwane yamashumi amabini, Elihu Root kunye nabanye abagcinayo badlale iindima eziphambili ekumiselweni komthetho wamanye amazwe. Kwakhona, phakathi kwinkulungwane yamashumi amabini, URobert Taft Ngokucacileyo, bayigxeka into eyenzekileyo ngexesha lomkhosi, besithi eli lizwe lingumbuso wobuzwe.
Kodwa, ngokuthe ngcembe, ukulondolozwa kwemeko zaseMelika kwezi ntsuku kufana nebhola ekrelekrele enkulu, exhaswa yidemoni eveza intiyo ukutshabalalisa okanye ukutshabalalisa amaziko amade, IPosi yase-US (Yasekwa nguBenjamin Franklin e1775 kwaye ebekwe kumgaqo-siseko wase-US) Ubuncinci bemithetho yomvuzo (eyaqala ukubonakala kwinqanaba likarhulumente kwinkulungwane yamashumi amabini). Okulusizi kukuba, intetho ethandwayo yale mihla i-conservatism - egxile kurhulumente omncinci, amashishini asimahla, kunye nenkululeko yomntu ngamnye-ibonakala ngathi iqhawule umtshato nokuziphatha kwayo. Ewe i-Conservatism's rhetoric kunye nokuziphatha kwayo kuhlala kuphikisana.
Ngaba esi sityholo silungile? Ngokuqinisekileyo kubonakala ngathi kukho ukungangqinelani okuninzi phakathi kwamagama kunye nezenzo, kwaye kufanelekile ukuba kucelwe abacebisi ukuba bachaze. Umzekelo:
- Njengabachasi “kurhulumente omkhulu,” kutheni le nto uxhasa ngamandla imfazwe engapheliyo exhaswa ngurhulumente, inkcitho enkulu yemikhosi yaseburhulumenteni, amandla amapolisa endawo ukudubula nokubulala abemi abangenazo izixhobo, ukuphazamiseka korhulumente ngamalungelo okuqhomfa kunye nokucwangciswa kosapho, izithintelo zikarhulumente. ngomtshato, kunye nokunxibelelana kwecawa kunye nesizwe?
- Njengabameli “bolawulo lwabathengi,” kutheni ungavumelani nokufuna imibutho ukuba ileyibhelishe iimveliso zabo ngolwazi (umzekelo, "iqulethe ii-GMOs") ezokwenza ukuba abathengi benze ukhetho lweemveliso ngobulumko?
- Njengabameli benkqubela phambili yomntu ngokuzama, kutheni ungayichaseli irhafu yelifa eya kubeka abantwana abazizityebi kunye namahlwempu kwinqanaba elilinganayo lomzabalazo wempumelelo yobuqu?
- Njengabameli bokhuphiswano loongxowankulu kwindawo yemarike, kutheni njalo uxhasa iimfuno zombutho omkhulu ngaphezu kwamashishini amancinci?
- Njengabameli benkqubo “yamashishini abucala,” kutheni uhlala uxhasa izibonelelo zikarhulumente zokuphelisa amashishini amakhulu kunye neziphulelo zerhafu yokuqhubela phambili amashishini amakhulu onqwenela ukurhwebesha urhulumente wakho okanye ingingqi yakho?
- Njengabameli benkululeko yokukhetha ukusebenzela umqeshi ("inkululeko yemvumelwano"), kutheni le nto ulichasa ilungelo labasebenzi lokuyeka ukusebenzela umqeshi ― oko kukuthi, ukubetha ― kwaye ngakumbi nokubetha urhulumente?
- Njengabameli benyathelo lokuzithandela (kunokuba urhulumente) athathe amanyathelo okulungisa izikhalazo, kutheni nina nizichasa ngamandla iimanyano zabasebenzi?
- Njengabameli bentshukumo yasimahla yezabasebenzi kunye neyinkunzi, kutheni nixhasa izithintelo zikarhulumente zokufuduka, kubandakanya ukwakhiwa kweendonga ezinkulu, amapolisa amakhulu emida, kunye nokwakhiwa kwamaziko okubanjwa okuninzi?
- Njengabagxeki be-statism, kutheni ungaziphikisi izifungo zikarhulumente zokunyaniseka, ukuhlaba umkhosi kweflegi, kunye nezifungo zenyani?
- Njengabameli “yenkululeko,” kutheni ungangeni phambili ekulweni urhulumente ngokutshutshiswa, ukubekwa esweni kwezopolitiko, kunye nokuhlolwa kwabantu?
Ukuba ezi zinto ziphikisanayo azinakuchazwa ngokwanelisayo, ke sinesizathu esivakalayo sokugqiba ukuba imigaqo ekuthiwa yeyabantu abalondolozayo ayisiyiyo imask ehloniphekileyo emva kwayo efihla izizathu ezingathandekiyo ― umzekelo, inkxaso yemfazwe kunye nenkcitho yomkhosi ibonisa umnqweno Ukulawula umhlaba kunye nezixhobo zalo, inkxaso yenkxaso yamapolisa ekubulaweni kwabantu kunye nokuhlaselwa kwabaphambukeli kubonisa ubundlobongela kubantu abambalwa, ukuba ukuchaswa kwamalungelo okukhupha isisu kunye nokucwangciswa kwentsapho kubonisa ubundlobongela kwabasetyhini, ukuba inkxaso yokungenelela kukarhulumente kwimicimbi yenkolo ibonisa Ubundlobongela kubantu abancinci bezenkolo kunye nabangakholwayo, oko kuchasene nokubhalwa kweemveliso, ukungakhathaleli amashishini amancinci, inkxaso-mali kumashishini amakhulu, kunye nokuchasana noqhankqalazo kunye neemanyano kubonakalisa ukunyaniseka kwimibutho, ukuba inkcaso kwirhafu yelifa ibonakalisa umanyano kunye nezityebi, kwaye nenkxaso I-hoopla yesizwe, ukungcungcuthekiswa, ukubekwa kweliso, kunye nokubonakaliswa kokuthintela cts ingqondo yengcinezelo. Ngamafutshane, ukuba eyona njongo yabalondolozi kulondolozo lwezoqoqosho, isini, ubuhlanga kunye nenkolo, ngaphandle kokufumana iindlela zokuyigcina.
Izenzo, ewe, zithetha kakhulu kunamazwi, kwaye ngokungathandabuzekiyo siya kufumana umbono olungileyo wokuba bakho phi abantu abavela kumthetho opasiswe yiCongress elawula iRiphabhlikhi. Ngeli xesha, nangona kunjalo, kuya kuba yinto enomdla ukuba nabalondolozi bendalo bachaze ezi zinto zilishumi ziphikisanayo phakathi kwemigaqo yabo ebekiweyo kunye nokuziphatha kwabo.
