Why are so many Americans uninformed about the world around them? A Newsweek study asked 1,000 U.S. citizens to take the nation’s official citizenship test, and the results may shock you.
More than three million immigrants took the test from October 2009 to August 2013. Roughly 92 percent of applicants passed it.
Among U.S. citizens in the study, 29 percent could not name the vice president, 43 percent were unable to define the Bill of Rights, and a startling 40 percent did not know America fought Japan and Germany in World War II. Also, 73 percent did not know communism was the main concern of the Cold War, and 67 percent couldn't identify capitalism as our economic system.

And that's a real disgrace.Bill has scratched his head until he's almost bald over this.
They all voted for our current President Mr, uh, uh, uh..... I forgot his name LOL
You all are giving this JERK just what he wanted attention...Stop talking and writing about him and he will fall off face of earth..
Saw this. All you libbies that come on this site should be asking yourself if YOU know the answer to some of these - the most basic - of questions about our Nation.
The meek shall inherit the earth.
Those darn immigrants are smarter than the "real" americans….
O'Reilly is a Jesuit -- he taught at a Jesuit school. He is a part of the enemy. He would sell us all out in a moment. Learn about the Knights of Malta and where Chief Justice John Roberts and half the media came from. The Jesuit Oath is a chilling threat against all in their way.
"Meek" does not equate to "stupid".
5:27...lol what a nut case.
Go back into ur paid obama apt with free electric free food etc...Fn useless hypocrite.
5:27 might have a valid point. After seeing Bill O'Reilly show "Advertise and Admire" Hillary Clinton I would call him a RINO. I guess in his mind Hillary would be better than Barrack,. Wake up Bill, they are both EQUALLY BAD AND CORRUPT AND BEING DOING IT FOR YEARS!
5:27,he's talking about people like you.
All UMES grads!

I suggest you learn the origin of the word Basilica before you determine who is and is not crazy.
Pope Francis is a Jesuit too. interesting turn of events. wonder who gets shafted the most out of all these developments! 5:27?
The people's minds are products of the government schools. They can tell you all about global warming and being a good global citizen, not much else.
Could they possibly have tested lower California "Citizens"? What was the proof of citizenship? Had the "citizens" studied for the test like the immigrants were required to do.?? Sounds to me like more trumped up "statistics" using comparison of apples and string beans.

I do know it will not be the true believers in Jesus Christ as the only way to Heaven.
Every comment can be discerned if you understand and seek God's Grace. All things human in this world are of Satan he has corrupted everything. It becomes clearer and clearer each passing day.
7:27 you only occupy a very small place in the Universe.. we are all very thankful that is the case.
