Of course it's always people, so that's a big of a copout response.

well look at the 2 candidates they give us every 4 years. It's a Dumb and Dumber race for the Commander in Chief every time.

Who is the "they" in your first statement? Voters.
ahhh yea voters decide...

Ultra partisans that maneuver who has the money to even get on the ticket if you think voters pick who is even running I have a bridge to sell you. It takes $ to run and that money comes from the "they" and those who prop them up.

I would say...

1) People no longer taking responsiblity for their actions in all areas of their lives.
2) The media. It's no longer about reporting but sensationalizing (distorting the truth).
3) Poltical Correctness. We can no longer "tell it how it is" because it might hurt someone's feeling. Pussification of America, etc.

The greatest threat to our nation is George W. Bush and his criminal cabal of traitors, murderers, torturers and their lying, brown nosed sycophants. They're a greater threat to American citizens than Osama Bin Laden, Al Qaeda and all the Al Qaeda wannabes. At least, Bin Laden, Al Qaeda, etc. admit they want to destroy us while the Bushwhackos are already doing it, here and now and lying about it. :|

Actually, Harvey, it is not Bush's cabal. The problem you should be referring to is neo-conservatism. Bush is just their little moron puppet.

I don't think people really understand the principals and ideas revolving around neo-conservatism. And if we put the blame of Iraq, and our foreign policy in general, solely on Bush, we put ourselves in danger of allowing these policies to continue as other neo-conservatives get themselves into positions of power.

You're right, but, as President, Bush is the figurehead in the eyes of the nation and the world so I include Bush and his criminal administration as co-equal conspiritors with the neocons as part of the same cabal.

A turd by any other name still smells like shit. You can call them anything you want. They're still the greatest threat to the rights guaranteed to all Americans under our Constitution and to the best interests of our nation.

We must redeploy our troops to our northern borders to save us from the GCMLFRP terrorists that are headed this way!!!111! If the GCMLFRP deploys their own Midget Shocktroop Corps (MSC), we're all gonna die!!! (or worse... we could end up turning teh Gay!)

So you just added all the people you hate to a self-created, non-existent group.

You probably see your post as a joke, but there's probably a lot of truth in it.

The biggest long-term threat would be Europe. Continuing to pretend that we have a real alliance with them takes our attention away from alliances and relationships that we need to build with emerging powers. The continuing far-right radicalization of European politics brings us closer to a new holocaust which the Europeans will want to bring over to other continents, including North America.

Europe may not exist in 50 years. The US won't either unless we change our path.

take a pill... and a joke... tool.

Tool? Do you get mad at everyone who sees right through you?

Gays, Canadians, Muslims, Ron Paul, hmmm, sure sounds like a list of people you hate.

Maybe you should add yourself to the list. It's rather obvious.
