@Illuminati You are poorly named you are describing Owebama and the libs to a tee. Case in point the way they are attacking the second amendment. and wanting to do something regardless of results Gerald Ford fell into this trap during the Maeguez incident in 75.The need for authority by natural leaders, culminating in a national chief who alone is capable of incarnating the group's destiny. bOwebama ruling by executive order daily and using the EPA with junk science to try and contol everyone through Owebamacare! Troll is what I call you! Oh and BTW McCarthy was right look up Vernona papers if you don't believe we have been infiltrated!

Which brings us to last week’s presidential election. Exit polls revealed that a stunning 42 percent of voters said Mr. Obama’s response to Superstorm Sandy was “important” when making their decisions about whom to vote for in the election. That’s about what you’d expect from a civically illiterate electorate.
Respondents had a range of educational attainment from high school diplomas to advanced degrees. Questions came from past institute surveys, as well as from nationally recognized exams, such as the U.S. government’s citizenship test and the National Assessment of Education Progress test. Respondents also were asked questions regarding their level of engagement in other activities that may or may not contribute to civic literacy. The average score for all Americans who took this straightforward civic literacy test was 49 percent, or an “F,” proving the apple doesn’t fall far from the civically illiterate tree.
As of 2006 (the last year for which statistics were available when I researched the book), only 36 percent of high school seniors could name the government’s primary source of income. (That would be taxes, kids.) Only 33 percent could explain the effect of an increase in real interest rates on consumer borrowing, and a scant 11 percent could analyze how a change in unemployment rates affects income, spending and production. And of course, it’s not just young adults who are civically illiterate. In 2008, the Intercollegiate Studies Institute administered a basic 33-question civic literacy test to a random sample of 2,508 American adults.
According to the National Center for Education Statistics, our country’s high schools taught less about the constitution in 2010 than they did in 2006, a trend that continues. In fact, in 2010, only 67 percent of high school seniors studied our founding documents, meaning about a third don’t study our government in the year before they are eligible to vote. Based on National Assessment of Education Progress tests, the formal assessment exams given to students across the nation to gauge what they’re learning, American students exhibit an alarming lack of proficiency in government and economics.
