Holy stinckin' Longhorn ****!

The Republican-led Texas House of Representatives dropped their attempt to require citizenship tests for minority voters after it was revealed that most of the legislators could not pass the test.

Only 17 of the 98 Republican representatives passed the multiple-choice test, which is given to prospective U.S. citizens.

<snip>

“We’ve been embarrassed before and we’ll be embarrassed again,” Phlegm said. “We would not be representing the people of Texas if we were not afraid to make idiots out of ourselves to prove our superiority.”

Bright eyes, minorities are people of Texas as well

<snip>

“We’re not trying to keep blacks and other minorities from voting because they’re black or because they’re minorities,” he said. “We’re trying to keep them from voting because they vote for Democrats. We wouldn’t restrict voting if they voted for Republicans. Do you think we’re stupid?”

Well...YES

<snip>

Charity and other Democrats told their Republican colleagues that if they should be willing to pass a citizenship test that they required of others.

House Republicans accepted the challenge.

“How hard could it be if so many Mexicans and immigrants pass it?” Flegm said.

About 91 percent pass the citizenship test, according to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

That figure is more than 70 percent higher than the percentage of GOP legislators in Texas who took the test.

LMAO

For instance, one question asked, “During the Cold War, what was the main concern for the United States?”

74 of the 98 GOP legislators answered: ‘’The high cost of heating bills.”

And back to the stupid!

Since your a resident I thought you might be curious to see how hard the test was. For me personaly it sounds like the typical Texan might have limited knowledge. But hey I don't know what the test questions were, nor how limited one's knowledge might have to be to fail either..

I have to many projects. Tree went down today took out our power, not to mention the clean up was a mess. It got hot today.

Regards, Kirk

You'd fit in fine with the typical Texan

It comes as no surprise at all that legislator in American Politics could not pass such a test. I would imagine most natural born Americans could not pas it.

First, the subjects of the test are in the training program for the application of citizenship it is what the applicants study.
Secondly, the subjects of the test are NOT in the training program for the our classroom students about US citizenship. It is NOT what the Students study.

It should be but gender identity, social injustices and the evils of capitalism is the new curriculums.

This is arrogant SATIRE...

Look at this sentence...

That's not real...No one would say that...

It's from a blog on the Huffington Post....where they describe the sponsor of the bill "Jeb `Cooter` Flegm" representing the district of "Flat earth"...The quotes on the Democrat side come from "Faith Charity", representing the district of "Sunshine"...

This is what happens when the Liberal elites look down their nose on people that don't think like them...The party of tolerance insults their intelligence from their Ivory Tower...And some people accept it as real because it jives with their pre-conceived and arrogant bias...

Satire it is. A quick Google turns up no Jeb "Cooter" Pflegm, no Texas citizenship test to vote. In fact if citizenship is the issue, there are far easier ways to make the determination. Flat Earth? Sure that must be it.
