I guess question 29 and 30 doesn't go with my political views.

You answered 27 out of 33 correctly — 81.82 %

Question #4 - B. Would slavery be allowed to expand to new territories? (I got this one wrong because I thought Lincoln didn't push the slavery thing too much when he was elected.)
Question #6 - D. establishing an official religion for the United States (I thought this was a trick question, but I really didn't actually know.)
Question #8 - C. appoint additional Supreme Court justices who shared his views (blind guess here)
Question #13 - E. certain permanent moral and political truths are accessible to human reason (same as above)
Question #26 - C. revenue minus expenses (I got profit and net worth mixed up :D)
Question #30 - C. decreasing taxes and increasing spending (I wonder if Obama got this one right. :rolleyes: )


EDIT: Elected politicians doing WORSE than the national average? When it's their fucking JOB to know these things? That's disgusting!

politicians not knowing a thing about how the government and economy is supposed to be run is not that suprising, i mean look at the shit creek that we are in right now
more evidece that we should scrap everything, send them packing, and begin right at the basics that the fore-fathers laid down
America was origionally supposed to be a republic not a democracy:eek:
