Why are we dumb in this country.

Because the kids are dumb.

James Vardeman Bennett

8th GRADE TEST 1895, 1912, 1920's
COULD YOU PASS IT.
My father used to tell me stories of passing a test like this to graduate from the eight grade. He also said, after you passed you could take a teacher's exam and teach up through the 8th grade. He used to laugh because they had a boy who was seventeen years old and still hadn't passed the 8th grade proficiency test. His father wouldn't let him quit school till he passed 8th grade. Many never passed. You did not get a pass for any reason strange huh? I know it is politically incorrect to think that a child should actually learn something, but who am I to judge.
Now I know why my dad's generation was so much smarter than me.
Btw, high school was college preparatory school. Dad would say, I had to read and write Latin, 2 yrs of Spanish, 4 yrs of math, english, history, and civics. Many did not graduate. Wonder why?
Below are three websites that contain 3 eighth grade tests. I think you will find that these tests a little bit more difficult than finding what Greek god you are. Give it a shot if you're up to the challenge.

1. Control health care and you control the people. 2) Poverty – Increase the Poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are p...roviding everything for them to live. 3) Debt – Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty. 4) Gun Control – Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a police state. 5) Welfare – Take control of every aspect of their lives (Food, Housing, and Income) 6) Education – Take control of what people read and listen to – take control of what children learn in school. 7) Religion – Remove the belief in the God from the Government and schools 8) Class Warfare – Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take (Tax) the wealthy with the support of the poor.

The Eagle, grown beyond the wildest dreams of men, it's known,was first to reach the heavens, above all the world below.By steel and wood, by sweat and blood, on wings of woven cloth,he slipped the surly bonds of earth to touch the face of God.But knowing times of trouble, and the devils they may bring,are only thwarted by the will to fight, he raised his mighty wings.Prepared for, thus guarding peace; for liberty, his love,he shall deliver unto evil: death,...... dealt swiftly from above.I am the wings of a killing machine, '47 born and my razor teeth rip down through the wind and the ground beneath to where the wicked wail and the devil creeps. I've broken the backs of the enemy, flown to the edge of space, and the legend known to the dead I've made: I am made of stone, so let the hammers break, and the sickles fold. Forged in the fires of the second world war, I've been to hell, and I'm back for more, so cap the gas and push back the door, turn fuel to fire, let the monster roar. I'll bleed any enemy, ground or sky, when the trigger breaks, the bullet flies...aim with the hand, shoot with the mind, kill with a heart like arctic ice.I am the Eagle, I am fighting on,I am a warrior and this is my song.Deep in the belly of a bird of prey, I'll cross half the world in a half a day, born to fly in skies red as rage, and I lit the fire of the Atomic Age. Death in flight when the Eagle screams, and the boom shakes down from the edge of my wings; if death don't bring you fear, then death is coming off my leash. Come to the nightmare, come to me, to the edge of the black where the 'nether be to the wolves of the wind with a bloody shriek, come snap the chain,cry "wake the beast!" There, in the burned and blackened ash, another enemy, dead, in the fire's breath. Smoke in the open wind won't last, the shadow of death is the one I cast.I am the Eagle, I am fighting on,I am a warrior and this is my song.I am the fire raining down from above,I am a warrior and this is my song."If I see the enemy amassing their planes for an attack, then I'm gonna knock the shit out of them before they take off from the ground..." - Curtis LeMay"that's the nature of war...if you kill enough of them, they'll stop fighting." - Curtis LeMayNow I live lean and I mean to inflict the grief, and the least of me's still outta your reach, the killin' machine's revvin' up to speed and the devil won't dare show face to me.
Here, in the air, where the lead won't lie, and the graves I'll dig are a mile wide, feel no fear, know my pride: for God and country I'll end your life. I am the Eagle, I am fighting on, I am a warrior and this is my song. I am the fire raining down from above, I am a warrior and this is my song. No hell can hide you, there is nowhere to run, I am a warrior and this is my song. I am the Eagle, I am death from above, I am a warrior and this is my song.

The Guardians Creed

This is what I was born for, This was what I was raised for, This is what I studied for, This is what I trained for, For this day have I lived, For I am……Guardian. I know why I am here. I know why I wake up every morning with the satisfying feeling that I am a part of a greater glory. I walk this path because it is what I have chosen. I walk this path because any other would not be a viable option for me. I am on this path because tyranny has forced me here. I take up arms against the demons of chaotic evil to remain true to my own values. I ride the edge of a blade and teeter into the depths of peril because it is who I am. I maintain vigilance as a protector because that is my vocation. I exist to serve as the hammer of justice against the enemies of the just. I exist to act as an instrument of restoration of liberty. I believe in the common spirit that unites those yearning for salvation. I believe in the cause and I believe in me. I am the rogue thorn. I am the elusive difficulty that will never be overcome. I am the infection. I am the festering mortal wound that will render the wicked helpless. I am hope, I am integrity, and I am constant. I am the guiding light of truth and I am the retribution of murdered innocence. I am the torch of honor. I am the fiery might of valor and relentless defiance. I am the recompense of a thousand fears of villainy. I am the conqueror of darkness and the defender of the weak. I am the pursuer of freedom and I am the stalwart last stand of an ideal. I am one of many. I am a Guardian. Author unknown.
