Liberalism is another one. From Wikipedia

Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, right to private property and equality before the law.

It's bizarre to see knee-jerk reactions to something if it is described as "a tennet of liberalism". They will rail against the values of the founding fathers who were, in this sense, liberals. Now I don't care too much arguments of founding principles, but to see these people, who claim the constitution is inspired by God, bash liberalism in the context of governing philosophies is infuriating.
