I think you're caught up in your own extremism, as have many conservatives who take progressive ideas to their limits in an attempt to justify themselves.
Can't say I know anyone who wants government to be the source of our rights and I'd wager most who ascribe to progressive ideas would either. That doesn't exclude progressive thinking from a constitutional framework.
