The Second Civil War

U.S. immigration authorities Thursday unveiled 100 new questions immigrants will have to study to pass a civics test to become naturalized American citizens.
Patrick Henry and Francis Scott Key are out, but Susan B. Anthony and Nancy Pelosi are in. The White House was cut, but New York and Sept. 11 made the list. The mind boggles.

Old Question
New Question
Which is not a Patrick Henry Quotation?

  1. Give me liberty or give me death.
  2. Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense?
  3. The great object is that every man be armed.
  4. Take from those who have, and give to those who want it.
Which is not a Nancy Pelosi Quotation?

  1. "There was never anything in the intelligence that said Iraq posed an imminent threat to the United States, never."
  2. "Saddam Hussein certainly has chemical and biological weapons. There's no question about that."
  3. "Anybody knows not to mess with me"
  4. " The way to decrease the deficit is to lower taxes and stop spending money on pork belly projects."

Here are 20 questions.  What response do you supposed jay leno woulfget if he posed them to college students?  Evidently a new section has beed added to the naturalization test, an essay question - "What does 'American' mean?"  That might be a good thing, but I can't help but think it'll be posed this way:

¿Qué medio del ' americano '?

For his part, New York Governor Spitzer will now permit illegal immigrants to obtain driver's licenses, arguing that banning them from driving worsened the lives of hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers without adding to security. I think Patrick Henry saw him coming.
PS - Here's the 20 Question Answers.

Name a Speaker of the House.
- Jack Russell?
No. We were looking for Nancy Pelosi.
- Oh. But there's a Russell Office Building. Wasn't he a Speaker?
That was named after a Senator. Jack Russell is a yappy dog.
- Oh, just like Nancy Pelosi.

Pretty stooopid movie from the looks of about 10 minutes of it. Makes the anti-illegal immigration side look like a bunch of KKKers, which I'm sure was their intent.
