American's are just plain stupid

According to a new national poll conducted for Washington College, Americans are stupid. Well, actually it didn't come right out and say that, but we are as the results show us. So, in a survey that is completely about George Washington, only 46 percent of those surveyed could identify him as the general who led the Continental Army to victory in the Revolutionary War. What the fuck do our schools teach? Was I sleeping when, on top of library, art, and music program being slashed or entirely cut, we decided history is no longer important and should also stop being teached? Maybe I can be understanding and not get alarmed that only a mere 4 percent knew that President Washington’s first inauguration was held in New York City, but for respondents to not know who led Americans in the Revolutionary War. To top it off, when asked who was the greatest American president, Ronald Reagan came in second after Lincoln. 2nd!!!!! Rounding out the top seven were Franklin D. Roosevelt (12 percent), John F. Kennedy (11 percent), Bill Clinton (10 percent), George W. Bush (8 percent, I'm assuming they must have surveyed many retarded people who could only remember the last four presidents that we've had), and finally George Washington (7 percent).

Lame.

first, i agree. totally. most americans know shockingly little about our history. and that saddens and enrages me.

second, your grammar sucks. history is no longer teached? how about history is no longer taught. i'll just assume you were too enraged to think straight.

Well, I am an American. To make matters worse, the spell check caught that mistake, and I said, "No, that is right." HA

I would have to guess that if any US presidents were into fisting that it would have to be Chester A. Arthur. I mean check out those sideburns and his moustache.

...and his name was Chester. That should give it away right there.
