The Stupidity of Many Americans is Mind-Boggling

from SHTF Plan.com:

“A popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance. And a people who mean to be their own Governors must arm themselves with the Power that knowledge gives”
-James Madison, 1822

America has a rich history of liberty, hard work, and innovation. It’s that culture that has led it to become one of the most powerful nations ever to have existed on this planet.

But with the good comes the bad, and there are also a lot of stupid people out there.

Case in point: The following video shows Mark Dice along the beaches of southern California asking passers-by their thoughts on July 4th, why we celebrate, who we fought, and in what year we declared our independence.

The responses coming from adult Americans are simply astounding.
