In a strict sense, one could understand the "ideology
free" statement to mean that we don't hold on to any
"pre-packaged" ideology, eg: we aren't all anarchists,
or capitalists, or radical feminists, etc.
But I think that any group of people ends up with their
set of values, which I think could be loosely called its 
ideological base, even though not perhaps in the strict sense 
you suggest.

But the above is kind of abstract.  In real life, the
distinctions often get blurred, or lose their meaning.
If I'm against much of the ways trees are logged, is
that "value based", or "ideologically based"? -
Does it matter?
