Opportunist - Realist. That's fine.
What I see right now the Constitution is pretty much a dead letter that means what various lawyerly types want it to mean. For example "Freedom of Speech" means that porn and treason is is okay, but that whites can't use the "N word" or tell a dirty joke in the office.
The right to keep an bear arms is a collective right of the states, not the right (and DUTY!) of the individual (as was documented in the Federalist Papers - never could figure out why people think we don't what the intents of the Founders really were, when they documented them so carefully...).
The Fifth Amendment, doesn't protect private property, it allows various government entities to seize property to enhance revenue. The doesn't really matter, since the interstate commerce clause, at it has been interpreted in the past, pretty much negates all control you might have over your property, anyway.
The Eighth Amendment protects the guilty from just punishment, but it doesn't protect unborn innocents from being hideously murdered, etc.
Give the circumstances, I'll take what I can get, using any means I can get away with to get it.

Than you don't care about living in a free republic, you just want to live in a Christian society, and don't really care how you go about getting it.
