Some questions every American should be able to answer, but a lot of them can't:

• What is the capital of the US?
• How many states are in the US?
• What do the stripes in the flag stand for, and how many are there?
• From which country did the US win its independence?
• Who is the current vice president?
• Which came first--the Vietnam War or the American Revolution?
• What do we celebrate on July 4?
• Who was the first president of the US?

Some questions every American should be able to answer, but a lot of them can't:

What is the capital of the US?

How many states are in the US?

What do the stripes in the flag stand for, and how many are there?

From which country did the US win its independence?

Who is the current vice president?

Which came first--the Vietnam War or the American Revolution?

What do we celebrate on July 4?

Who was the first president of the US?

I've seen all the "man on the street videos" with the fools that can't answer these questions.

I think the problem is much, much worse than the fact that they can't answer any of the questions.

For example, the first question "What is the capital of the US?" These people don't know that a "capital" is or what the "US" is. They don't know what a Vietnam is, or what a Revolution is.

They literally don't know the definitions of any of these words.

Start with asking these people their favorite color or what year it is.

I'm being serious. The American People are much dumber than we give them credit for.
