E.J. Dionne: Lightweight

It is a sad commentary on the intellectual merits of pundit journalism today (or the lack thereof) that in a piece designed to show how stupid we all are for not understanding the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution, Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne expresses his belief that the terms "national government" and "federal system of government" are synonymous.

If this is the best our "betters" have to offer we are doomed.

Feel free to read the whole thing if shallow (a)historical analogy, deficient understanding of political theory, and a thorough lack of comprehension are your sort of thing.
