The country was founded on the principles of individual liberty and severely limited federal power, based on the Founders' clearly expressed fear of tyrannical government.
Making the entire Liberal Welfare State and almost all of Liberalism 180 degrees contrary to those Principles.
Which is why liberals would rather have a limb removed rather than answer the question.
Those aren't all the principles by which this government was founded. You've made a generalized statement, and I'll guarantee you that the way any two people interpret them is not going to be identical. Each of those terms: individual liberty and limited federal power are open as it gets to interpretation. You might as well say that no Christian Church follows the Bible because there are over 1000 Christian denominations in this nation. If they all saw the Bible as clearly as you believe you see the Constitution, there'd be one church, not a thousand times that many. SCOTUS didn't rule the way you wanted re the ACA. The Court torked off the South with Brown. Does this mean that the justices don't understand the Constitution? Try being reasonable and realize that everyone doesn't see things your way. I don't expect anyone at all to see things my way, even when I'm absolutely certain I'm right.
And the idea that liberals are opposed to those principles in general is nonsense. With you it's all or nothing, no grey, isn't it. But the world is not like that.
