Okay I relate this to the recently reported (here) national civics test. In that the general public scored 49 percent, and elected officials scored worse at 44 percent. And if I had to guess I beat the average journalism major would score in the 30's, and the average mainstream media person same or even lower.

Dismal, abysmal, know-nothings.

Yet where do Freepers score? We had a thread where people reported their scores -- vanity distorts that self-reporting for sure, but I'm guessing based on my long experiences here and from that thread -- Freepers would score on average in the mid 80's to mid-90's.

That is,

1. WE ARE THE ONES WHO KNOW THINGS.

2. The Media, the elected officials -- they are incredibly ignorant.

It is their shame and envy, of we Freepers and allied intellectuals and patriots, that keeps them quiet, for even ignorance does not keep a man silent when an obvious question keeps arising again and again.

Shame of their ignorance and envy of ours. Yet we are more than happy on our parts to share what we know, we wich none to be bogged down in the swamps of ignorance.

Their ignorance is willful, so thus their shames and envies -- they will come to demand that we be removed, all our words, all our speech, rather than that our hard earned wisdoms be ever seen or heard.

Voters Fail the Test

Out of 2,500 American quiz-takers, including college students, elected officials and other randomly selected citizens, nearly 1,800 flunked a 33-question test on basic civics. In fact, elected officials scored slightly lower than the general public with an average score of 44 percent compared to 49 percent.

Only 0.8 percent of all test-takers scored an "A."

That "0.8 percent" is we Freepers, imo. We are the intellectual vanguard of America and the World.

I’d be confident that Obama voters averaged even lower on that national civics test than the general public’s pathetic score. Democrats aren’t called Dummycrats without reason.
