Ben, some of the problem re the Constitution is that it is not clear on some of the issues of the day that people feel strongly about. So asking whether someone believes in the Constitution isn't very useful - everyone would say yes, but that doesn't mean they agree with conservatives on all the issues. Free enterprise and smaller government - no problem. Personal liberty - yes, but. Many moderates are uncomfortable with the tendency of some conservatives, including our president, to advocate for personal liberty but with strings attached. I will say it again, the same sex marriage issue and the president's support for a constitutional amendment leaves many of them very cold. What is more personal than not having the liberty to marry the person we love? From a rational point of view, gender is and should be irrelevant.

As to deprogramming, ewwww, that's a scary concept indeed.

Thanks for writing.

Let's face it -- the liberal way of thinking is very akin to a cult. Deprogramming is a good thing.


Good luck in winning over your left leaning friends. Remember the Tenth Amendment.

No, but the Constitution is very clear that what ever the Constitution doesn't cover the individual states are left to interpret.

The States still have thier local governments to handle these issues.
