July 4th stupid:
-
Funny and sad at the same time. Grandpa knows, his progeny are clueless.
-
They didn't have me as a prof. >:( I was worried about the state of our nation, and then I saw that Aggies T shirt. At that point I said "figures'. ;D
FQ13 who is the R Lee Ermey of Civics teachers, and will break out the rum because after that abortion its either that or get out the glock to "reason" with my colleagues. What the hell do they do all day? :-\ :-[

I stopped a little over half way through - geez, there are dumb people in this world.
Not surprising, they voted for bho.

Now do you begin to under stand my attitude toward college's ?
I run into this type of stupidity every day, usually the more documentation they have the dumber they are.
So called "Engineer's", (got a degree by God ! :o ) Who know nothing but an auto CAD system ::)
Tim, sound familiar ?

I see stupid people they are everywhere.

Painfully familiar......my bosses arrogance is only surpassed by his lack of experience and stupidity. I haven't talked to him in two months. The guys in the shop are ready to have him "taken care of"!

Mine just hire a QA inspector ::) Did not know how to use a set of Calipers.

Hey but that's why the DNC wants the YOUTH VOTE!!!!
Cause their dumb as stumps (not all), but I've seen Jay Leno do this at various college's and they are all similar.
How many college kids voted for BHO, because they were and still are clueless???
-
All that stuff is not taught in college.
Every 4th grader should know that stuff. More than know it...they should FEEL it....be part of it....be proud of those who founded and fought for our country's birth.
That should come from grade school teachers, and I guess parents need to start reinforcing it. Grandpa knew the stuff, but trusted his kids teachers to get the message to the kids.
Kids should KNOW the first battles were fought to protect the firearms of the colonies so Independence and Freedom could be won, and the battles still need to be fought so Independence and Freedom can be maintained.
Again, we need to take back the schools. Grade school is the most important, and work our way up.

I have said this before: Ignorance is cureable, but stupidity is frequently fatal. Unfortunately, these people breed, and they vote.
The "fatality" as a result, is most likely to be my Nation.
Offered as an observation by a very weepy Crusader on this Independence Day. :'(
And best wishes to all my fellow patriots on this amazing board! ;D
-
That was incredible. I'll admit the one about who sewed the first flag had me stumped so I had to look that one up. At one time I'm sure I was thought that, but I had forgotten that it was Betsy Ross. The rest of the questions though I though were pretty easy! Leave it to Grandpa to be the only one to know any of it, probably coming from the days where teachers could still slap their students around when they weren't paying attention!!

I wasn't sure about Washington crossing the Delaware.....

Dude! They use that picture in every boaters safety class ever taught. Do not stand up in a row boat while crossing an icy river! ;D

The hearts and minds of young people, ( Solus you are so right ) is the path, to enduring liberty, American History is not hard, once you can get people to honestly ask WHY, no matter their age, we do what we do, in politics and everyday life, Why do we salute the flag, why do we honor our veterans, why do we honor July 4th, and what is Independence and why is that important? How not to repeat the bad history lessons, like what is being taught now, and with bho, at the helm, they stand to win the young people with promises of jobs, education and no consequences if they F up. The minutia of history can tangle us all up, but the meat and potato's is real easy.
It is hard to get parents to go to school board meetings, but that is what needs to be done, every time they meet, and if the board members are found wanting, throw them out and replace them with the type who will change the curriculum back to a more fundamental reading, writing, arithmetic, science and HISTORY. Although it might be very hard to find such people, who are knowledgeably and Want to serve.

Actually, the troops in Trenton (where Washington was heading when he crossed the Delaware) were Hessians, i.e., Germans, not Brits. They were, however, employed by the Brits, so we'll give you partial credit! ;D
