As an outsider looking in I would say that the US has no significant external or internal threats yes you are going to suffer terrorist outrages like all the rest of us but the USA is a pretty resilient country. I have probably been interested in US politics since about 1998 and all this Obama is the Socialist Anti-Christ crock of sh*t is as bad as the Bush is Satan claptrap. Americans get over yourselves you have a swell country with people who have decent and common values. I know we blame the media for a lot of our ills but in the case of the USA itâs a fact, never have I listened to much mock outrage and puerility on the subject of politics whether it be on radio or TV.

Which is the greatest threat to America?
- Thread starter OPTIONAL777
- Start date
This countries greatest threat is the lack of independent thought, in other words, the herd mentality and the fact that that herd is outright dumber than dirt.
The politicians are our greatest threat to the country as a whole.
You are our children's greatest threat.
You are our children's greatest threat.

Foreign or Domestic?
The biggest threat to America, and the world, is the continued unchecked growth of human population. Everything else is a gnat on an elephants back.
EVERY environmental problem facing humans including water, air and soil pollution, ozone depletion, greenhouse gases, depletion of resources, habitat destruction, carbon-based global warming, species extinction and anything I've left out is caused by human overpopulation and the resulting over-consumption.
We could solve the problem by reducing consumption but that ain't going to happen. We most likely won't stop the overpopulation problem either because 90% of the human population suffer from the pyschosis called 'religion'. This undermines the rights and power of women to choose when they reproduce.
Not all is grim though, the planet has been thru worse including 5 previous mass extinctions and life always evolves to fill the niches. Who knows what fabulous creatures will evole on the poisons that we leave behind.
Quote from IShopAtPublix:
The greatest threat to america is the idiocy of its citizens, those who listen to glenn beck, those who think fox news is balanced, those who thought W was going to restore dignity to the white house. In the last months of his presidency, W had around 30% job approval rating, that means that 30% of the voting public in this country are hopelessly stupid morons.
I find people that make asinine statements such as yours amusing.
I watch Glenn Beck on a daily basis and I watch Fox news because it's not constantly trying to slant things in an anti-capitalistic way with every report.
If you assume all of Beck's listeners are idiots then I guess you must in order to make yourself fweel better about your chosen ideology.

No offense, but in the UK aren't you pretty much taxed out the ass because of socialism. Aren't your highest income tax rates around 50% and value added tax (VAT) another 18% on purchases.
These jokers we've got want to take us down the same road. Screw that.
