Well said. 

It’s worth remembering that France’s "Declaration of the Rights of Man"was inspired by the US’s founding documents.

It is that because it was founded on principles of The Enlightenment which are said to be secularism, reason, social juistice, tolerance . The Constitution , its Preamble, and the Declaration of Independance codifiy them.  The Revolution, the Civl War, the Civil Rights Movement, the Equal Rights Amendment (which I think has still not been ratified) represent our moral commitmenmt. And confrom our liberal values. So any American loyal and committed to those values is just a middle of the road American, a centrist.   What exactly then is a crazy leftist ?
