See how you do, elected officals, who took the quiz, scored less than 50%


That was cool.

I did ok, surprisingly.

ou answered 27 out of 33 correctly - 81.82 %

Two of them were completely bogus - two correct answers in the same
question. The one about the First Admendment (correct answer includes
due process) and the taxation question which is totally FUBAR - taxes
equals government spending also means zero debt and growth.

30 out of thirty two and IN FACT, I nailed it.

Morons.

Well, it's for sure you didn't beat Harry. Just keep that in mind.

And quit calling us morons. We can't all be civics majors.

Speaking of morons, Herring, which brand and grade of two cycle oil do
you mix in with the gas for your four stroke outboard? You were
wondering about that a few months ago.

And how about that WD40? Spray it into your engine yet to winterize it?

You need to go back and read the posts, Harry. It wasn't I that suggested a
two stroke brand. The person who answered my post misunderstood the
question and recommended a two stroke oil.

Is reading one of your problem areas?

Nope. But, a decent boating discussion ensued upon my presenting an auto
mechanic's recommendation. Didn't it?

How was the trip to the mirror today, Harry. Especially vile?

87.88%
Question #4 - B. Would slavery be allowed to expand to new territories?
Question #7 - D. Gettysburg Address
Question #10 - C. Religion

Miss read the question 10 as Constitution and not 1st admendment
Question #30 - C. decreasing taxes and increasing spending
Is what the government does, not what they should do.

30 out of 32, but I have several objections to two of the questions.

In particular the one about the First Admendment (due process is a
protection of the First Admendment and found so by the Supreme
Court) and the item about taxation. Both of their correct answers
are not wrong, but they have a secondary correct answer also.

Morons.
