Also, they should not be confused with the Check Republic, sometimes known as Washington DC.

After 9/11, we had a guy from India in our community who owned a gas station. Apparently some low information types thought he was a Muslim because he put a sign in the window of the gas station that said “I’m Indian, Not Muslim.”

It never occurred to me that anyone could confuse Chechnya for the Czech Republic, but them I’m not a Democrat.

The fact that it’s even necessary to say this is sad. The Checks and Chechens have almost nothing in common culturally.

Sickens me that so many can’t comprehend simple geography that a statement like this even has to be made.

In fact Czech Republic is a longtime apologist of a Chechen cause. Along with Norway and South France they have a huge problem of crime among Chechen ‘refugees’. These people are dominating asylum centres, installing ‘protection’ over other ethnic minorities, intimidating officials and Euro-type incompetent police who has no idea how to deal with violence.

Americans are the only ones among the “affluent” countries who haven’t a friggin’ clue of the difference.

Anybody with even a passing familiarity with public school geography should know this.

And now for something completely different......

In the days of old, when Knights were bold, ladies were taken to the tournaments. They excitedly dressed in their finest finery to see and to be seen. It was my honor to escort the lady Geneva, the sister of the duke to the event.
She was not too well versed on just exactly what was transpiring but was eager to choose a champion and to wager the 50 florins in her purse. I carefully explained the jousting course and how the knights rode towards each other, lances lowered to unhorse their opponent.
We reviewed the warriors. There was Sir Geffery Dilandsworth wearing the gleaming armor and carrying the shield with the distinctive blue and white checkered shield. There was Sir Albert Truan in the black armor and a green pennant of Vaud rippling from his lance, there was Sir Gilbane De Valier, lord of St Gelbert manor on the huge gray charger and there was Sir Zagnoc Miclicokye Earl of the Chech barony in the wonderful red chain mail mantle over his shoulders Aegis like.
After the first round, half were eliminated and so it went till there were only 6 left. My lady, a thrifty sort still had her florins and was deciding how best to wager. She cried out to Sir Albert and waved her lace kerchief and then pointed to the bold knight and swooned “Is that Sir Zagnoc with the pretty shield”?’

“Of course not “ I responded……”How many times must I tell you, The chech’s in the mail”

Talk about trying to deal with the perceptions of low-informatation people, this is just another example.

Yeah, and Ben Gazi was just a movie and TV actor that was making an action film in Libya.

This is active promotion of making words seem to mean something they do not.

“You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”

Idiots. They make those great CZ firearms in the Czech Republic. They only seem to make Islamic murderers in Chechnya. But maybe that’s too harsh... Not.

Here in the U.S.A., The Czech Republic is being confused with Chechnya?

Impossible! Our youth are getting the best liberal education on the planet.

There was a very funny episode of The Sopranos where Pauly makes this misidentification.
