In October 2008 a new version of the U.S. citizenship test will be taken by all applicants. Could you pass it?

I missed one. How about you?

About Vivian J. Paige

A former candidate, I've learned a lot about politics, both good and bad. I'd prefer more of the former and a lot less of the latter and I'm trying to do my part!

I missed two, and on one of the answers I got right I guessed. It was an educated guess, but…

I’d be willing to place a wager that the majority of citizens that own citizenship by birthright couldn’t pass it.

100%!

Maybe I should teach remedial citizenship classes for the natural-born.

Got them all right. It is certainly disappointing to know that so many people in our country cannot even answer such simple questions about our country’s government and history.

It is my understanding that a majority of Americans (naturally born or not) can not even point out Iraq on a world map.

My truth-o-meter is starting to peg.

Greetings Earthlings!

I’m a grade school drop-out, but I got all of them right, easily! I had to drop out of school when I was 6 to support my widowed mother. My father, a sharecropper, was killed in a wood chipper. I had to work 16 hours a day in a condom factory. It might sound like I had a tough childhood, but it taught me a very good lesson. I worked very hard all my life, and I even ran for the animal control council. While I was not successful in my endeavor, it taught me a very valuable lesson. I subsequently enrolled in night school and consequently I am now a medical doctor and a lawyer so I sue myself for malpractice in this greatest country on God’s green earth.

Hail Anniversary of the Conception of Your “United” States!

Hail Zontar!

I got them all right, but I did have to stop and think a couple times.

100%. I wouldn’t have been able to remember the number of amendments if it hadn’t been multiple choice, truth be told, I just remembered enough of them to eliminate the rest of the answers.
