Test your Knowledge of History
« on: April 14, 2015, 09:04:21 AM »
Six trivia questions to see how much history you really know.  Be honest; it's kind of fun and revealing. If you don't know the answer make your best guess.  Answer all of the questions (no cheating) before looking at the answers.  And, no , the answers to these questions aren't all Barack Obama .


1) "We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."
A. Karl Marx                    B. Adolph Hitler                  C. Joseph Stalin
D. Barack Obama            E. None of the above

 
2) "It's time for a new beginning, for an end to government of the few, by the few, and for the few... and to replace it with shared responsibility, for shared prosperity."
A. Lenin                           B. Mussolini                        C. Idi Amin
D. Barack Obama            E. None of the above

3) "(We).... can't just let business as usual go on, and that means something has to be taken away from some people."
A. Nikita  Khrushchev        B.  Joseph Goebbels            C. Boris Yeltsin
D. Barack Obama            E. None of the above

4) "We have to build a political consensus and that requires people to give up a little bit of their own ... in order to create this common ground."
A. Mao Tse Tung             B. Hugo Chavez                    C. Kim Jong II
D. Barack Obama            E. None of the above

5) "I certainly think the free-market has failed."
A.  Karl Marx                   B. Lenin                                C. Molotov
D. Barack Obama            E. None of the above

6) "I think it's time to send a clear message to what has become the most profitable sector in (the) entire economy that they are being watched."
A. Pinochet                      B. Milosevic                           C. Saddam Hussein
D. Barack Obama            E. None of the above


Scroll down for answers...

I'm hoping Hitlery will suffocate between some fat woman's legs.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin
