1. They DO love the Constitution...
Just as long as it's THEIR version.

2. Conservatives believe in nothing
All they do is react to whatever the Democrats or Obama do.

3. As the Reich-Wing sees it:
Want to implement Liberal policies = "Constitution must be Strictly Interpreted!"
Want to implement Conservative policies = "Constitution must be Flexible!"

7. Conservatives love authority, that's all. They love the idea of the Constitution, because
it's old and they perceive it as part of the established order. They trample on it all the time, because they don't care about what it actually *says*.

Like the Bible, they ultimately view it as a symbol-- and a weapon with which to attack the weak and defend the strong.
