(Hilarious. Preamble FAIL. And John "it's not 'Boner,' dammit!" Boehner proves once again how little some of those who claim to be upholding the Constitution actually know about it. - promoted by David)
In the same spirit as David's Pop quiz on the flag, I'd like to offer up today's pop quiz, which concerns the US Constitution.
Here it is: Can you recite the preamble? And, unlike David's quiz, looking is OK - if you cannot recite it from memory, suppose you were going to give a speech and wanted to quote from the preamble. Would you be able to find the correct text from which to quote?
Answers in the comments please. And as David did, I'll update later as to why.
Full disclosure: I can do it from memory, thanks to Schoolhouse Rock (I have to sing it in my head!). All that time in front of a TV as a kid didn't completely rot my brain.
An A+ to Christopher for both nailing it and guessing why.
My guess as to why this was posted is that someone got the Constitution confused with the Declaration again, which seems fairly common among those who invoke these documents in their rhetoric.
It's not just anyone who did it this time.
What's really sad is that he purports to have the very document in his hand. But not in front of him, apparently.
