		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Give it a try and see how you do. It’s easy to take on-line and the results section will depress you.

Let us know how y’all do!&lt;/blockquote&gt;

My results:
&lt;strong&gt;You answered 26 out of 33 correctly — 78.79%&lt;/strong&gt;

Meh.

Didn&#039;t see the link to the results section, though...</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Please note - AR-15 type arms are almost sold out everywhere, with a several month backlog. (Did find a local store with some due to jacking the price.) Obama has done wonders for that industry.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Indeed, Scottsdale Gun Club here in AZ can&#039;t even keep lower receivers in stock for all their AR-15 brands they just sell the receiver for. Unless they magically start getting huge shipments in the near future they will remain sold out for many months to come I would guess.</description>

Have you ever wondered where Jay Leno gets those idiots on “JayWalking”?

Well, wonder no more, as they’re just random samples from all walks of life and most are smarter then our elected officials according to a survey put out by americancivicliteracy.org .
It consists of 33 questions about our government past and present and the results are quite disappointing for us as Americans.
IIRC, college freshmen scored a 52% while seniors averaged 58% and elected officials got something like 42%.
My wife got 66% and my 15 y.o. Grandson got a 61%, and neither is a government or history buff.
Give it a try and see how you do. It’s easy to take on-line and the results section will depress you.

Let us know how y’all do!&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Damned I got beat by a 15 year old.  I got 20 out of 33 for a whopping 60.61%.

In school guess I&#039;d have the old dunce cap on.</description>

		<description>Went to the local CHRISTMAS parade on Saturday. 80 degrees and a sunburn, last year was cool &amp; damp.

Horses, marching bands, JROTC units, dance &amp; martial arts clubs, classic cars, floats, the Phillipino American cultural club, fire trucks, VFW (got the biggest applause), Nativity scenes(!), Santa Claus.

		<description>Just read where Senator Dodd wants the chariman of GM to step down.  I think as chairman of the Senate Banking Committee he should take his own advice -- considering the current banking mess he and Barney Frank helped put us in! 

 How about an article on this MM?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;What do you believe would be the best Homeland Defense?&lt;/blockquote&gt;A well armed, trained, citizenry.
If the jihadist do hit in small scale operations at malls, schools and other public venues it does take time for the police to arrive--hours for the military IF they have bases in your town. You could &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/Dial-911-Die-Richard-Stevens/dp/0964230445/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1228661947&amp;sr=8-1&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Dial 911 and Die&lt;/a&gt; 

Please note: the same Democratic Party Leadership that wants to strip you of the &lt;strong&gt;Right to Keep and Bear Arms&lt;/strong&gt; is also calling for a 25% reduction in the size of our military.

		<description>What do you believe would be the best Homeland Defense?

1.  A Larger &amp; Powerful US Military.  Increase The US Army and National Guard troop strength by 200 - 300 thousand soldiers.

Utilize these soldier for National Defense against terrorism and response.

2.  Keep the same size military, but have a large Military Volunteer Reserve pool.  Increase The State Defense Force - www.statedefenseforce.com - to World War 2 levels of 140,000 troops to help augment National Guard and Active Duty Forces.  

Which would you think would be best?

A larger military or a State Defense Force which can support, assist &amp; augment US Military forces.

*State Defense Forces have augmented US military forces since 1917 and have assumed military responsibilites over the state during times of war.
