Comments on: The representatives that Americans elect to office prove they know nothing about American Civics. They are dumb.

It obviously was written by a conservative who believes in the government we were supposed to have.

Nobody learns anything about this in College unless they are studying to be a American historian. This is grade school stuff except for the economics.

Yes, none of these questions where college-level. I missed the historical ones, rather than the ones about how the system is (supposed) to work.

I found some of the questions to be very confusing: did they want it to tell them how things are SUPPOSED to work, or how they actually work in our (now) dysfunctional system.

I scored over 80% and I didn’t even finish High School Take that college grads. I missed all economic questions and I really never have understood economics.

Well, I only earned an 82% and I missed the Puritan question as well! (It was a toss-up between religious freedom and the sinfulness of man.)

As a half-hearted defense, I will say that these things were taught in my schools, but I started taking them seriously only in my later years.

Everyone here knows that the Mayflower is a moving company.

Lol. Just as long as they don’t start about Britney Spears. I can already hear the fans screaming “Leave her alone!”… Boohoo!

I tend to agree on the Puritans. They had better asked about the Mayflower instead, the symbol of America’s colonization by English settlers who wanted to escape the tyranny in old Europe.

Funny stuff.

In my defense. Who would have thought the answer on the Puritans would be about their religious beliefs? That does not seem politically correct to me.

I think they should of asked what movie star was in bed with Jack Kennedy or what was the connection between Monica and Clinton.

Not to mention the collapse of the Soviet Union? Or Armstrong’s landing on the moon and the first words he spoke?

But oh yeah I forgot that was just a forgery that was filmed in some NASA studio, right, sorry !!

Yay! I answered 26 out of 33 correctly so I scored 78.79 % . I’m a non-US citizen and non-resident… Now where’s my green card and my free ticket! Not to mention that Cadillac so I can get around.

Don, I just can’t believe you were wrong on the question of the Puritans, you damned heretic!!!

Why didn’t they ask about the reverse side of the U.S. seal? Everyone should know by now that the United States is an elite project set up by Illuminati freemasons and Jews to subject the world to their rule, aka New World Order! And not even a word about George Looney and Al Bore?! Barbarians!

Seriously though I wonder why they asked nothing about the 1st world war or the Korean or Vietnam wars. And who’s the best American actor [Clint Eastwood of course]?
