WHAT KIND OF MINDLESS HORSESQUEEZE IS THIS?

I've often thought there ought to be, not a literacy test, but an American History test, for people to be eligible to vote. I don't care for all of Neal's questions above, but I love the idea. Anyone care to submit more test questions?

North Carolina's state motto is "Esse Quam Videri"-"To be rather than to seem". I've always thought that it was a fine motto, which basically says that what you see is what you get. Neal is right about Asheville's lefties, but I invite him to reconsider his position on state mottos-some are excellent (like West Virginia's-"Montani Semper Libre").

What are the forward movements of the M-1 rifle?

That IS a fine motto.

I wrote Neli Boortz after I just recently heard him say on the radio saying that there was a ton of "indisputable evidense" that homosexuality was genetic.

He just blew any credibility he might have had in my opinion, to comment "authoritatively" on anything.

As some of the questions tend to answer themselves in later questions it would seem to be also a rant rather than actual specific intellectual inquiry. Nonetheless it was a great read.

Thanks for posting.

5. Where was the Declaration of Independence signed?

I thought everyone knew the answer to that.....







At the bottom!

I thought they signed it on a table.

I just bought some property about 10 miles souh of Black Mountain. I hope that's far enough away from Asheville's smarmy lefties. And a Gannett paper, to boot. Ugh!

I like your questions. If they had asked questions like that when I was in school, I might have actually learned something!

"All of us necessarily hold many casual opinions that are ludicrously wrong simply because life is far too short for us to think through even a small fraction of the topics that we come across." -- Julian Simon, PhD

As I said, I don't care for everything he says; I too think he's dead wrong on that and other points sometimes, but I certainly do enjoy a lot of what he does say, and the nerve he has to say some outrageous things. Even Albert Einstein was wrong on some things. Methinks you judge too harshly, but that's certainly your right to do so.

Of course I meant the article writer's questions. :0

I really know my USC and my American history but a lot of these will require a bit of digging.

Of course my favorite single question is: What IS the Constitution of the united States.

I'll give the answer, since so few can: It is the contract between the Government and the People.

I can certainly accept that but he was emphatic with the opinion. It was just not "casual".

Bump.

What caliber ammo does it hold, and where can you buy some?

LOL!
