I don’t mean to make excuses for the Americans Jay interviews, but he looks for idiots and we only se the idiots he interviews.

We don’t see the ones who know the answers.

But I’ll bet they all know how to put a condom on and that the founding fathers were filthy slave holders..

I’m old enough to remember ‘citizenship’ classes in elementary school.
They quit doing that about 25-30 years ago.

I was relieved when the grandfather schooled his children and grandchildren.

I’d like to imagine that, once the cameras stopped rolling, he smacked those idiots upside the head.

Most Americans “KNOW” the evil capitalist are destroying the planet in order to make a profit.

This has been well taught in the government schools.

Unlike math, reading, history or respect and love for God and country.

Jay’s walkabouts are edited for comedy. No one who knows anything will be included except maybe at the end to show there are at least a few folks out there who know their butts from a hole in the ground. Take it for what it’s worth, a chance to laugh at morons.

Mississippi used to have a VERY simple civics test that they would give to random voters to ensure that they had some idea what government was about and they knew what they were voting on. The Federal government, led by “progressives” (flaming liberals) in the LBJ administration got the courts to outlaw it. You see what we now have in DC.

My part-time boogie is a survey research center. Some questions we ask are political in the most generic way.

I love to hear the self-identified Liberals/Democrats spew their opinions (albeit unsupported and ill-conceived), then voluntarily admit that they don't know what ‘redistricting’ means...even though NOT KNOWING this basic mechanism of our voting process did not keep them from forming the most birdbrained and infantile political ‘opinions’.

A middle-aged fellow said the number of original colonies “right now, I guess, thirty?” His wife was called in to help. Jay asked if she helps her teenage son with his homework, and she said she did. He asked what happened on the 4th of July. “I have no clue,” she replied. The son was called in, and answered the question “What happened on Independence Day?” with, “Independence broke out.” The three stumped family members then summoned grandpa, a man probably in his 60s. He knew the answer to every question, including where the Statue of Liberty came from (France), and what bird appears on the Great Seal (bald eagle), all without stopping to think.

Go Grandpa!!!!!!!!

That why we call them sheep.
