Quote For The Day - 10/27/2017

"... a nation in which 87 percent of eighteen- to twenty-four year olds (according to a 2002 National Geographic Society/Roper Poll survey) cannot locate Iran or Iraq on a world map and 11 percent cannot locate the United States (!) is not merely 'intellectually sluggish'. It would be more accurate to call it moronic, capable of being fooled into believing anything ..."
