Out of idle curiosity, I just took a sample online U.S. citizenship test. [View all]

50 questions. Scored 100%. Ridiculously easy test. I don't think that it necessarily would be for a new immigrant American. But you hear all the time about these right-wing armchair patriots who are unable to pass the standard citizenship test. And more than ever, I feel justified in my contempt for them. I'll take an immigrant American any day over some flag-flailing, chest-thumping, rah-rah meathead from Squalor Holler or someplace who can't pass a criminally easy citizenship test.
