"On the Constitution...why don't they talk about it? I think they do talk about it but mainly I don't think it's a big topic because most people have no idea what it says...in fact I think a good portion of this country think it says stuff about this being a "Christian nation", that abortion is murder, that we should all walk around wild west style with a six shooter on our hip, that marriage is between a man and a woman, and that we should all be shooting at everybody that tries to cross our borders...basically laying out that this whole country is supposed to be some sort of cross between the OK Corral and the Alamo with the ten commandments written in Mexican blood on every public building and a preacher on every street corner. If they really started talking about the Constitution you'd have a bunch of yokels asking "Where'd this fucking commie come up with that?" and they'd get all confused and pull out their American flags and start chanting we need to bomb Iran."

I live in Texas, in a very Republican neighborhood, and I don't know hardly anyone who thinks that. But both sides do a nice job of exaggerating about each other.
