Last week, MRCTV's Dan Joseph went to American University to give the student body a little general knowledge quiz.
When asked if they could name a SINGLE U.S. senator, the students blanked. Also, very few knew that each state has two senators. The guesses were all over the map, with some crediting each state with twelve, thirteen, and five senators.
So, when it comes to politics, the students at American University are a little rusty - but, they passed with flying colors when it comes to pop culture.

College students of the 1960s knew they were espousing Communism under the banners of China, Cuba, North Korea, and the USSR.
Today they are ignorant pawns.
PS The college students of 1968 ru(i)n Amerika today.

“...When do we go back to the legislatures choosing the senators?...”
When we repeal the 17th amendment.

Of course they did, but by the looks of those morons, they had to be physically taken to the polling booth, I doubt they would have been able to locate it on their own or even know what a voting booth is

Today, the FBI, IRS, NSA, et al are looking into the “threats” and “ties” of the Tea Party.
Boston jihadists, Ft. Hood jihadists, et al, not so much.

Doesn’t it make you just so proud to be an American these days?
When I went to Spain in the 90s I still all but flaunted it. Today though....
