Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who said, "Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?"

Answer: George W. Bush

I think there's a good reason why this question is rarely asked. Most people who ask the question use correct subject-verb agreement.

2. Who is the author of this famous quote, "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance"?

Answer: Thomas Jefferson

Low voter turnout numbers in the United States indicate that many Americans have not taken Jefferson's wise advice.

3. Which twentieth century leader remarked "It is true that liberty is precious; so precious that it must be carefully rationed"?

Answer: Vladimir I. Lenin

Always beware when the government starts putting restrictions on liberty and freedom of speech.

4. Who said, "In politics it is necessary either to betray one's country or the electorate. I prefer to betray the electorate"?

Answer: Charles de Gaulle

No, this wasn't a reference to the Florida recount during the 2000 election. Let's hope our leaders won't find it necessary to betray either.

5. Which American icon is credited with saying, "Every generation needs a new revolution"?

Answer: Thomas Jefferson

Sounds more like John Lennon than our contemporary American politicians. "You say you want a revolution. . ."

6. Who said, "We must all hear the universal call to like your neighbor like you like to be liked yourself"?

Answer: George W. Bush

An interesting take on the Golden Rule. It reminds me of Frank Burns on MASH telling a visiting nurse that it's "nice to be nice to the nice." I wonder what kind of president Frank Burns would be?

Answer: Herbert Hoover

This quote is as relevant today as it was in Hoover's time. It reminds us that being able to voice dissenting opinions is vital if democracy is to flourish.

8. Who made the following remark about elections, "The people who cast the votes don't decide an election, the people who count the votes do"?

Answer: Josef Stalin

Quite prophetic of Uncle Joe, don't you think? Let's hope the new touch-screen voting machines can count votes properly and fairly.

9. Which ruler said, "The truth is that men are tired of liberty."?

Answer: Benito Mussolini

Some would say the same holds true today. Who cares about liberty when we have 200 channels on cable TV? When does Survivor 12 come on?

10. Who astutely observed, "China is a big country, inhabited by many Chinese"?

Answer: Charles de Gaulle

No, it's not another Bushism. Charles de Gaulle made what is actually a correct statement about China. Obvious and unnecessary, but correct.
