    29/33...I'd probably do worse in a French test.

    I provide evidence for my assertions.

    You don't like the evidence I provided, which includes studies from two highly reputable universities. Fine, I could have predicted that.

    You provide zero evidence, reputable or otherwise, for your assertions.

    So I gotta say, I can only conclude I won that round.

    Maybe you'll do better next time out.

    96.97% missed the one about government spending equalling revenue. I answered the government debt was zero. Still, only missed one. Not bad for a high school drop out.

    What surprised me was the low average scores, especially the politicians.

    So close...
    • Question: What was the source of the following phrase: “Government of the people, by the people, for the people”? Your Answer: Declaration of Independence Correct Answer: Gettysburg Address
    I got the exact same score, and the same one wrong (my incorrect answer was also the Declaration of Independence), but in all fairness, it is almost 1:00 am and I have had to deal with the psychological stress of two natural disasters in one week *grin*

    What part of the government has the power to declare war?
    Congress
    the president
    the Supreme Court
    the Joint Chiefs of Staff

    I must have missed the vote when Congress declared war in

    Korea
    Viet Nam
    Grenada
    Iraq
    Afghanistan
    Iraq again.
    etc
    I always find it strange that only reasonable people agree with me.

    Apparently, you also missed the correct answer. The correct answer shows that Obama violated the Constitution in Libya. With many of the other examples you gave the Congress gave approval (eg. Afghanistan and Iraq).

    Could have been better.
    The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives.
    The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes.
    The business of the Conservatives is to prevent the mistakes from being corrected.

    Not too shabby for a guy who's been a Boy Scout, a Soldier, and a PoliSci minor.
