Self-Absorbed And Ignorant': O'Reilly Reacts to Startling Study About Americans

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.

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.

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!

I suggest you learn the origin of the word Basilica before you determine who is and is not crazy.

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.
