No genuine materialist has metaphysical certainty.

This is more like it:

Postmodernists: The Revolution didn't happen when I wanted it to, so there's no world to argue over. It's all jive.

Anybody who's against the good side of the Enlightenment is an enemy of the people.

Funny, but not surprized. Both have found a metaphysical certainty: one in the values of the 19th century agrarian south, the other in the Enlightenment. It's a scary, changing world. Let's get back to fundamentals!
