Before you post dribble, why don't you check the facts first?

<http://www.factcheck.org/2012/03/alaskan-island-giveaway/>
Alaskan Island Giveaway?

Q: Is President Obama giving away several Alaskan islands to Russia?

A: No. The U.S. has never claimed ownership of the islands identified in
viral emails and websites. They lie far closer to the coast of Siberia
than to Alaska.

Yep, gave up claims to Vladivostok and Novobirsk too. Still negotiating about
ownership of Moscow.

Students lean new knowledge everyday, and then have to show that they

According to a 2006 survey by National Geographic-Roper, nearly half of
Americans between ages 18 and 24 do not think it necessary to know the
location of other countries in which important news is being made. More
than a third consider it "not at all important" to know a foreign
language, and only 14 percent consider it "very important."

That leads us to the . . . final factor behind the new American
dumbness: not lack of knowledge per se but arrogance about that lack of
knowledge. The problem is not just the things we do not know (consider
the one in five American adults who, according to the National Science
Foundation, thinks the sun revolves around the Earth); it's the alarming
number of Americans who have smugly concluded that they do not need to
know such things in the first place. Call this anti-rationalism -- a
syndrome that is particularly dangerous to our public institutions and
discourse. Not knowing a foreign language or the location of an
important country is a manifestation of ignorance; denying that such
knowledge matters is pure anti-rationalism. The toxic brew of
anti-rationalism and ignorance hurts discussions of U.S. public policy
on topics from health care to taxation.

Now, go back and read, this time for comprehension.

I don't believe it. I do believe that one in five is smart enough to answer a
silly question with a sillier answer.

Do you have facts to support that I am clueless? They aren't in
evidence.
Liberals hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created
equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable
rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men,
deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

Many Democratic politicians are corrupt, but it also seems that all
Republican politicians are dingbat crazy. It hasn't always been so.

<http://www.factcheck.org/2012/03/alaskan-island-giveaway/>

No one is giving away American property, except, perhaps, to the fossil
fuel, and mining interests. Can you not read?

Except you don't believe that. You believe that all men are equal. You gloss
over the "created" part. IOW, you have no clue what you're quoting, above.

>Many Democratic politicians are corrupt, but it also seems that all
>Republican politicians are dingbat crazy. It hasn't always been so.

Again, you demonstrate your cluelessness. *All* Democratic politicians are
corrupt and many/most are dingbat crazy (though, you too are probably worried
that Guam will capsize because of all of the service men "on board"). Your
last sentence has some merit, though the Democratic party has driven out all
of the decent and intelligent politicians (e.g Zell Miller), or they've died
off (Pat Moynahan).

Is there a reason you keep inserting this trash? Do you really think anyone
believes it (though there are dumber things the Democrats are really doing).

More cluelessness admitted. Perhaps you've heard of LOST? I suppose not.

No, you're the one with your head clearly in the toilet, though you snipped
context. ...a lie as you lefties are wont to do.

Oh, invective! I thought you lefties were pure as the driven snow. Well, you

Perhaps you should. Better yet, learn something (but then you'd no longer be

It can. The fact that they're also arms manufacturers has little to do with
anything, though.
