The most dangerous threat to the United States...is the United States itself.
Exactly!
Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:-)
Corruption.
LOL!
LOL!
Government bureaucracies and unions.
The greatest threat to this country comes from within.
Americans who have abandoned the principles and purposes enunciated in these words:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men..."
From the round top of your ship of state, dark and threatening clouds may be seen. Heavy billows, like mountains in the distance, disclose to the leeward huge forms of flinty rocks! That bolt drawn, that chain, broken, and all is lost. Cling to this day-cling to it, and to its principles, with the grasp of a storm-tossed mariner to a spar at midnight." "I have said that the Declaration of Independence is the RINGBOLT to the chain of your nation's destiny; so, indeed, I regard it. The principles contained in that instrument are saving principles. Stand by those principles, be true to them on all occasions, in. all places, against all foes, and at whatever cost.
At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we ourselves must be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide." -- Abraham Lincoln, January 27, 1838"At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it? Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant to step the ocean and crush us at a blow? Never! All the armies of Europe, Asia, and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth in their military chests; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in the trial of a thousand years.
The chains of the Constitution have been broken and the “BEAST” now known as the FEDGOV is rampaging through the countryside. Almost all problems would be resolved, with a strict adherence to original intent.
Christ and our founding fathers blazed a path that allowed civilization to advance to where we are now.
As foretold, we've wandered off the path and now the entire world is endangered.
Good point.
Loss of liberties.
Freedoms eroded in the name of security and war on terror.
The greatest threats? Obama and the Dems along with RINOs.
Yes indeed.
Obamacare
The loss of LIBERTY - the right to be secure in your person, your private affairs and your property.
And the exponential rise of the police state ... But I repeat myself.
I don’t lie... I forgot the two other threats - Islam and thr media.

I agree.
