Our superiority to these men [Hitler/Marx] and systems is indeed in our reasoning capability, - our ability to transcend 'devotion to a cause', - and instead live and let live, according to our self-evident golden rule [do onto others] - and to our Constitution.

Why do you see living under our constitutional rule of law as any sort of "conundrum"/charade?

"living under our constitutional rule of law" is not the condundrum.

Good, we agree that living under our constitutional rule of law is not a charade.

A moral/ethical system derived solely using reason is the condundrum.

Your claim that it's a charade to use reason is simply another unsupported opinion.

Why is following our golden rule/Constitution, of greater value - than not doing so?
Yours is an odd, self evident question.
Liberty is of greater value to men than socialism, - obviously - as we see from our own history.

Then obviously you can give me the reason for it? Or some attempt at a logical syllogism?
To belabor the point, if I ask you "why is x better than y?" and you answer: "Obviously," You haven't used reason at all.

"Obviously", your whole point is indeed, - to belabor points others have made.
- These circular discussions bore me. Get some new ploys.
