Liberals. They want to accept terrorism, they want Social (Socialist) programs, that never teach an American on them, to do for themselves, and be free from control, but only to take from those who do get up off their butts and work, to provide for them. Libs don't care if America is weak, why I can't tell you, since all of their freedoms they have today were won by our military past and present, through hard work, pain, and a lot of blank suffering, and anguish, even knowing they may die. Believe me, I will never understand that. Would they like us to be like Europe, who live on what their government gives them, one example being Universal Health-Care, which is already shown doesn't work? Euros live with terrorism, but we are America, the land of the free, the home of the brave, that is what we stand for. If we do anything less than to defend ourselves against tyranny, government, and those who try and take our freedoms away, then we become liars, losers, and just like everybody else. How can America ever tolerate being average? How could we ever accept anything but excellence? How can America ever accept going back to being England's colony (being they accepted terrorism, until we jumped into kicking terrorist butt, after 9/11. WE led the world against terrorism, not they.) Why would we want to decrease our own strength, let terrorists reign over the greatest country to ever live?????? Thank God there are Conservatives left in America, or we would all be back to being controlled by some other Nation, or terrorists, who are not a Nation at all, but mere murderers of innocent people, who cannot fight back, being they're attacked by surprise. Libs want the easy way out, lay down because they're too busy for the safety of their own people, and their country. Whatever they're doing besides claiming to feed the poor, when they're not, I don't know. Well, maybe they're watching Fox News on the couch they got from the Salvation Army? Paid for by your local Conservative taxpayer, no doubt.

To quote the Simpson's I'm gonna say a little from column A and a little from column B.



terrorists trying to destroy us, is the most but people who aren't taking it seriously and don't want to stop them are also a big threat.



I don't know how to explain it any better than if they blow us up we won't have any freedoms protect and it will be because some people were to spoiled to wait a half hour in line. It seems worth standing in line and having my bags searched for, do you think terrorists are going to be like oh well we got them once we are done, no WAKE UP they are plotting again it was on the even on the liberal news. If we leave they never said they are going to stop attacking so they need to be taken care of.



People are so far into their views they can't see how much not having searches and security measures will hurt this country, we might as well not have seat belts either I guess because it will wrinkle my shirt, or maybe people should be searched on the borders in Canada and Mexico, lets see how long we have freedom if that happened. My guess is not very long, because there are people trying to harm us weather you want to believe or not they are still there.

We the people pose the biggest threat. We the people who watchdog the brave soldiers dieing for there country. We the people who cry injustice when a suspect terrorist gets detained with out a trail. We the people who elect the fools that run the country. We the people who support the media only feeding us negativity and each one of you know the list goes on and on.

for socialism to take hold in our country, these are some things listed many year ago, that would first have to occur.



i have condensed the actual list and if you would like the complete list, you can follow the link below. here are the highlights of things that must occur before we would become a socialist government:



1.U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to war.

2.U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in war.

3.Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength

4.Permit free trade between all nations regardless of affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.

5.Extension of long-term loans to China.

6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of political domination.

7.Do away with all loyalty oaths.

8.Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic

American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

9.Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions

10.Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression.

11.Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.

12.Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

13.Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."

14.Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of

"separation of church and state."

15.Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the ideas in textbooks.

16.Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].



does any of this sound vaguely familiar? i think a terrorist with a bomb is at least open but this has flown under our radar and was accomplished while we were sleeping.

Actually neither. It is the unelected civil servants in the Justice Dept., State Dept. and Judges in the Federal Courts that are slowly taking away our freedoms and rights. Now I'm not ignoring politicians and terrorists, but terrorists are a threat to life and a cause of fear. Politicians can be taken out of office by angry voters at the election poll or by using the recall method.

We are our own greatest threat to our freedoms and liberties. So long as we become less and less vigilant with our elected officials and do nothing to vote out the corrupt and/or incompetent ones we will slowly watch our freedoms and liberties erode.



Just as bad is our tendency to rely on government to solve all our problems, self wrought or not. In so doing we cede more and more of our rights to "big brother" instead of forcing ourselves to grow and become more responsible for ourselves.

Islam is the biggest threat to human freedom. Islamofascists are using liberals to help them attain their goals and once islamic law is imposed the liberals will be disposable.

Our greatest threat are these 'progressive' freaks who are in total denial! I believe they're very dangerous!!!!

I believe it is the Democrat/socialist, they are opening the door for the terrorists.

The people , say what you wish about certain groups and such but its the people who allow the no security , freedoms taken away in a whim and spying on your grandma that will be the death of the US . The sad part is the American people don't even know and most don't care .

Ohhh good question.



Well, on one hand you have a terrorist that could kill thousands with the suitcase bomb.



On the other hand, you have the Dems that deny the danger and want to pat these terrorists on the back and give them a big hug.



Hmm, it's a toss up

Neither.



The greatest threat to our Republic and its freedoms comes from the apathy of the people who refuse to act against the coming and current tyranny.
2007-08-16 10:08:53 UTC
I FEAR IT'S BOTH. THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS WORRIED ABOUT CIVIL LIBERTIES BEING VIOLATED &

DOMESTIC SPYING WHILE THE ISLAMOFASCISTS WANT

TO TAKE AWAY THESE CIVIL LIBERTIES.

I think the biggest threat to our nation is that we're ALWAYS given just two choices, and they're both bad.

The failure to recognize the threat of Islamofascism will be our undoing.



This argument about ignoring the constitution just wears me down. Port security is very important in this country. I don't see anywhere in the constitution that states that an overseas company has rights to export containers into the US without the containers being inspected. All you people so worried about your civil rights, which you liberally interpret to be just about whatever you want it to be to support your argument, will be eating your words when we are attacked again.
2007-08-15 14:03:07 UTC
I say fascists like Micheal Savage and Ann Coulter. Let's hope these kind of nuts never get any real power.



Some founder once said that the only people who could bring down the U.S. would be through its own citizens. Basically, tyranny from within.

I believe we pose the greatest threat to our freedom and liberty. If we allow politicians to destroy the Constitution and the freedoms it gives in exchange for security, we lose what we are trying to protect.

sigh, terrorists don't have suitcase nukes.. do you actually know how RARE those are and the technology involved in creating one? lets put it this way.. if they had one of those.. then they would have already sent an ICBM our way.. it would be much easier. Like SOOO many reports have said.. best they can do is a dirty bomb.... you just want to scare people.



and the correct answer to your question is this. Those who would give up freedom due to fear are the greatest threat to our freedom and liberty

Actually, I think the people who pose the greatest threat to our freedom and liberty are the idiots who attack their own citizens with accusations of treason or stupidity simply over valid areas of disagreement. If you can't support your fellow Americans, how can you possibly support America?

oh yes the old suitcase nuke. That one is on my list of things I have a phobia of. its right up there on the list with africanized bees and mad cow disease and west nile virus. I must see my therapist now as i will now obsess on my fears.

That's really an "apples and oranges" question...both answers are essentially correct, one in the medium to long term, one in the (possible) short term...living close to NYC I am tempted to go nuke, but my gut tells me Democrats....I'll lock in on Democrats, Regis...

I would say that the greatest threat to freedom and liberty is a people's constant, illusory fear of a lurking terrorists. Fear undermines reason in national discourse.
