Step away from the ledge Sarah Palin is still dumb

genpop, the American Revolution was an English civil war, not much unlike Libya now (just an ocean apart). Both sides were British.

No, they weren't. As the colonials began to do things on their own, they began to see themselves as Americans. When the revolution was fought, the vast majority of the soldiers were born right here on the North American continent. At best they saw the British as really good friends and our protector that demanded respect.

"Feeling" they were different doesn't change the fact that they were British, especially from a legal view. It is because they felt they weren't being treated as the British citizens that they were (with some convenient neglecting on the colonials part) that caused everything to happen.

Of course, not all were. Plenty of Dutch, German, French, etc to go around.

and I got 10 bucks that says Palin knows none of this.:laugh:

Eh, probably. Statistically, the majority of Americans are stupid. No one really pays attention to history or politics, especially not both.

More proof Palin is not dumb:

AOL Weird News brought samples to two writing analysts who independently evaluated 24,000 pages of the former governor’s emails. They came back in agreement that Palin composed her messages at an eighth-grade level, an excellent score for a chief executive, they said.
“I’m a centrist Democrat, and would have loved to support my hunch that Ms. Palin is illiterate,” said 2tor Chief Executive Officer John Katzman.
“However, the emails say something else. Ms. Palin writes emails on her Blackberry at a grade level of 8.5.

While some would initially scoff or laugh at Palin’s grade-level assessment, past speakers and writers of note have scored comparably. Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address was a 9.1 and Martin Luther King’s famed “I have a Dream” came in at 8.8. Remember, Palin’s results were based on e-mails, not riveting speeches, so the fact that they score remotely close to the aforementioned works is intriguing.

Global Language Monitor gave Palin’s emails a score of 8.2, which actuallyexceeds that of most chief executives. “She’s very concise. She gives clear orders. Her sentences and punctuations are logical,” said Paul Payack, president of Global Language Monitor. “She has much more of a disciplined mind than she’s given credit for.”

Can Obama even write? We know he has problems reading his teleprompter. I bet Palin's IQ is 20 -30 points higher than his as well.

You know the good thing for you that is if she was to get elected president, you could make a ton of money in trying to prove to people she is not an idiot. I'm sure you'd have plenty of work!
