"Frequently wrong, but never in doubt" describes a number of these pundits perfectly. I keep in my briefcase one of those little Cato Institute pocket copies of the Constitution which has proven invaluable in political debate - it takes 45 minutes to read it from cover to cover, including all the amendments and the Declaration of Independence to boot. For an investment of 45 minutes Mahr and his fellow travelers could actually know what they're talking about for a change. But it can be uncomfortable to find out, for example, that freedom from religion does not appear in the First Amendment and that the Second isn't as murky and cryptic as has been claimed. For the politically immature, uncertainty is merely a sign of weakness, and it is more comfortable to be certain than to be right.

You reminded me....I'm going to get my grandson and his siblings to nand write the Bill of Rights this summer....(I'll pay them - as it's the only way they would ever do it.)

I second your motion. I, too, carry with me the Cato Institute edition of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence. It fits neatly in any pocket. It's cleanly typeset. And Cato Institute will send copies for $1 each, as many as you choose, to anyone who asks through their website. (The $1 doesn't even cover the printing and postage costs. It's a good deal.)

Interesting observation but I would also observe that, true to their hypocrisy, these politically immature people insist on uncertainty from their opponents in the form of moral relativism. Although they are certain in their errors they refuse to be nailed down on anything. All is relative.
