In the U.S., a "constitutionalist" generally means someone who, in their view, supports the Constitution strictly as written, which is somewhat different from members of the "Constitution Party" which are more religious based.

On the other hand many Americans support the Constitution as written but they vote progressive because politics is complicated and the Constitution may need amending now & then.   Constitutionalism exists in many countries :

I'm sort of liberal. I like basic income and/or progressive taxation and humanitarianism.

Basically they are a conservative christian right-wing party. They view the US as a christian nation, and support a more conservative interpretation of the constitution. The defining difference between them and the GOP is that they are more isolationist, they don't want to interfere with foreign affairs. On the other hand, the GOP has candidates who want to carpet bomb Syria.

Also, to the comic strip: Johnny won't share so clearly he needs to be forced to share.  The use of force is always appropriate so long as the intentions are good... or suits that particular authoritarian knuckle-dragger's desires.  To hell with leaving people the hell alone.  Do as your told or we will send men with guns to take you away to a nice government cell or kill you if you try to resist.

Isn't Johnny the initiator of force by claiming a toy meant for all for himself q.m.

I am posting dank memes because I have collected so many and finally have a reason to post them.

What about this one?

ANCAP safety ratings are published using a rating system of 1 to 5 stars. These star ratings indicate the level of safety a vehicle provides for occupants and pedestrians in the event of a crash, as well as its ability - through technology - to avoid a crash. Crashing bad, avoiding good, so by default PA is not ANCAP, but perhaps madcap with salad forks
