Neither statement is totally true or totally false.
The liberals would like to see some clarification in the wording of some of the constitution and its amendments.
What does the word "arms" mean in the second amendment? There are some conservatives who think it should mean any arm (weapon), including thermo-nuclear warheads. And what does the term "well regulated" mean in that context?
And what does "men" mean in the preamble? At the time it meant only wealthy white men. It didn't include black men or women. And some conservatives want that to still be true today. Liberals disagree.

The former is true; the second is rubbish. Conservatives respect the Constitution, but you can't take it too seriously or literally. Conservatives are the most patriotic, while liberals want to ruin our great nation. #WeNeedReaganBack

Calling BS on the last one. You are saying that conservatives only want white men (who own property if you really want to parse it) should be able to vote or have legal protections. There are probably a few whack jobs out there, but they are the fringe. I guess you will cop out with "some" but that is still total BS. A few thousand neo-Nazis maybe.

The latter is true; the first is rubbish. Liberals respect the Constitution, but believe it needs occasional clarification by the SCOTUS as well as an occasional amendment. Liberals are the most patriotic, while conservatives want to ruin our great nation. #ReaganIsDead
