Current or modern politics in the United States
I get my regular updates on the abhorrent behaviour of much of the GOP and the Tea baggers of the Right from crooksandliars.com Nowhere better to see the take over of a once quite noble political party (the party of Lincoln and Eisenhower), by an extreme faction that has no respect for democracy nor decency.

As a relatively well informed UK citizen I scored 82%. I'm sure that had I been taking it for real I would have read up a bit more and probably have scored a lot better.

I clicked on the link and it showed the answers,I scored 100% ;):p:D

I noticed that and went straight to the home page instead to find the quiz. I didn't look at the answers, honest, or I would have scored better. |
I got 86/96 - what does that make me? :confused:

On the other hand, some Americans are well-educated and have good values :thumbsup: Some time ago American students were asked where they thought this sentence came from: "to each according to his needs from each according to his abilities" ... and many thought it came from the Bill of Rights :thumbsup::thumbsup::D So there's hope :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: |
I got 88% correct in the Citizen Test - and I wouldn't visit the USA, let alone become a citizen.

I think that Palin is a spent force right now. She is going to have to do a lot of very hard work to get herself back into a position of power and importance. Santorum is clearly setting himself up to run again for 2016. However he will not be alone. Senator Rand Paul is setting himself up for a run in 2016. He is the son of Ron Paul that ran in 2012. Wiki link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rand_Paul Rand Paul is a christian conservative/libertarian. He has many of the same negatives that Santorum does. Mainly making wildy irrational statments, obstructing anybody that is trying to get work done, and rubbing a lot of people the wrong way. Another is the current Governor of Virginia, Bob McDonnell. Wiki link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_McDonnell This is a man to watch out for. He is another christian conservative but doesn't carry many of the negatives of Santorum and Paul. He is handsome, pertly coiffed, has a lovely family, is a great public speaker, and tends to not make stupid statments that will get him ridiculed. |
