The more I think about it, the root difference between conservatives and liberals is on how they view the U.S. Constitution.
Conservatives look closely at the founding father's reasoning for their inclusions and exclusions. Then they look at today's society and the original intent of the Constitution trumps today's desires.
Liberals, on the other hand, believe that the Constitution is alive and always changing. Since today's intent trumps the original intent, the liberal's view is that the Constitution is much more fluid and flexible.
While most Americans are reasonable and will agree that both components are important, the political extremist will only view whatever fits into their agenda.
Do you agree with this simplistic reasoning?
Update: This was just discussed on Glenn Beck about Cass Sustein's comments.
