They never do a survey to ask how many Americans think Communists should be shot on sight.

A 2002 survey by the National Geographic apparently indicated that “(a)bout 11 percent of young citizens of the U.S. couldn’t even locate the U.S. on a map [of the Earth]. The Pacific Ocean’s location was a mystery to 29 percent...”

20%?

That’s good news!

I expected 25%.

Wait until the baby boomers are gone. Then these young idiots will be like sheep going to their slaughter under a tyrannical government, or foreign invasion.

Demanding to lose a civil right... demanding less freedom, what a slave mentality.

80% of Americans intelligent. 20% not so.

And 4 out of 5 Americans would like to deport the top 50 journalists who push fake news to a waterless, treeless island in the Pacific ocean where they will be stranded three days in the blazing hot sun before we finally drop a dozen spiked baseball bats and one juicy, well-chilled black diamond watermelon onto the beach.

IF they think it is OK to repeal one amendment because of modern feelings and excuses, they can repeal the rest via the same emotional blackmail.

Repeal if you like, but the inalienable right will remain.

That’s not too bad. Only 20%.

My fear is that 20-40% “don’t care”.

“Ask Americans to name the former U.S. president whose face currently graces the U.S. $10 dollar bill and most will be quick to answer Alexander Hamilton.

Sure, it’s a trick question. But a new study from memory researchers at Washington University in St. Louis confirms that most Americans are confident that Alexander Hamilton was once president of the United States.

Perhaps more striking, nearly a third of those surveyed falsely recognized the common name “Thomas Moore” as someone who was once an American president.”

“Then these young idiots will be like sheep going to their slaughter under a tyrannical government...”

My 20-year old daughter made the comment the other day. So these people protesting Trump and calling him a dictator like Hitler, also want their guns taken away from them?

And apparently, at least one recent Supreme Court Justice.

Why bother with the long difficult process of amending the Constitution, when 5 unelected black-robed dictators can decide it means whatever they want it to mean on any given day?
