I'm sure this will be no surprise, but a recent Newsweek poll found 38% of Americans failed the test required for immigrants to become U.S. citizens. Got a grip on that, 38%???
44% could not identify the Bill of Rights as the first 10 amendments to our Constitution.
73% had no idea why we engaged in the "cold war" with the USSR.
29% could not name our current vice president.
6% couldn't even identify Independence Day as July 4th.
And the real kicker? 58% had no idea who or what the Taliban is. Guess they'll wonder why they're being beheaded when the Muslims succeed in taking us over through our own stupidity.
No wonder we're in the shape we're in.
