I watch different things on TV, from movies to political banter. Yesterday (Sunday), I was watching a young man with a microphone asking simple questions about dates, presidents, and political affiliations for presidents.
• Question 1 — Who was the 1st President? George Washington was the obvious answer to someone from my generation since we were taught history in high school. Five people were asked this (all about millennial age) and none got it correct. The question was asked of an older gentleman and he answered quickly and correctly.
• Question 2 — When was the Declaration of Independence? (1776) Out of five people questioned, none of them got it right. One person said she was a recent history major college graduate. Evidently they don’t require U.S. history to be part of the curriculum? She didn’t take high school history?
•Question 3 — Who was the 16th President (they were standing in front of the Lincoln Memorial) and what was his major accomplishment? Lincoln and the Emancipation Proclamation (freeing the slaves) was the answer. Nobody got it right (the interviewer pointed toward the memorial as he asked the question). Then when told it was Lincoln, the interviewer asked of which political party he belonged. Everyone said Democratic (they meant Democrat, the party if anything but democratic) party. Wrong, he was a Republican.
Other questions were asked .The respondents were overwhelmingly wrong in their answers. Folks, these were not difficult questions, any citizen of 40 years ago would have gotten at least 80% correct. The people under the age of 35 are ignorant of the their own country’s history. Is it because they are not taught history in high school any more? What is being taught? Evidently not U.S. History.
On another issue, I hate to give any more focus on the Gang of Four (aka Squad of Four), but the Democrat women of the House of Representatives are out of control. Anyone who doesn’t agree with them are racists and anyone questioning their motives are racists. When does discussion of motives, no matter what race they are or their detractors happen to be have to do with racism?
Any time anyone, and especially the President, question their attacks on ICE, Israel, Homeland Security, border security, border detainment, etc., they play the race card and the media willingly goes along with them. I agree with the President, if you don’t like this country, please leave. Leave because you aren’t part of the solution, you are the problem. You should be ashamed you are U.S. Representatives and hate your own country.
And AOC, your claim about people are drinking out of toilets is patently untrue, and you know it. And the disaster on the border of overcrowding in holding areas – the Border Patrol has been asking for help for months and months. You could do something to pass funding to help in the situation. You do nothing but say now it is a disaster. Where were you months ago?
How were the voters in the districts they come from so duped to vote for these reprobates. They were elected, so either nobody showed up at the voting polls and a low majority for these revolutionaries got them into office, or more importantly, how much outside influence and money backed these people, supporting them in their district races? Maybe Mueller should investigate the Gang of Four for outside influence? At least he would have a job he could throw more people in prison to find nothing in the end.
And finally, Mr. Mueller is scheduled to appear before Chairman Jerry Nadler’s Inquisition panel, another circus waiting to happen, with ringleader Nadler (a mental midget if there ever was one) to question Mueller to try and get more dirt on President Trump. The witch hunt continues. Maybe if Nadler and company can’t find anything they will blame racism? What the hell, everyone else does.
The real investigation of the illegal wire tapping of Trump Tower and using the FBI and CIA to use false information to get a FISA warrant should be done. Maybe the real truth of what happened will finally come out, but I’m not holding my breath.
And if you don’t agree with me, you’re a racist!
The rotting of America from within continues…
