The World May Have to Do Without America for a Bit
American Thinker ^ | 11 Jan, 2023 | John Green

Posted on 01/11/2023 4:40:33 AM PST by MtnClimber

We are experiencing a national identity crisis, and our distrust of one another is one of its manifestations.

In a recent Rasmussen Reports poll, 39 percent of Americans consider other Americans to be America’s greatest threat. That’s more people than consider China our greatest threat (25 percent). It’s almost twice as many as those that consider Russia our greatest threat (20 percent).

Of those polled, 22 percent say Democrats are our greatest threat. That would include people like myself, who believe the Dems have become the American communists -- determined to destroy everything that makes us exceptional -- as a necessary measure to marshal in a socialist utopia.

Another 17 percent say that Republicans are the greatest threat. Those would be our fellow citizens who have bought Biden’s semi-fascist baloney and Merrick Garland’s “white supremacist” propaganda. So much for returning comity and normalcy to the American conversation.

Meanwhile, the world is full of threats. Russia wants to reconstitute the Soviet empire, and is chipping away at eastern Europe to do it.

Islamic fundamentalists want to create a caliphate, and seem to think that enough murder and mayhem will convince the world’s population to join the “religion of peace.” Or maybe they just want to kill the nonbelievers for the fun of it. It’s hard to tell.

China just wants everything. But they aren’t resorting (yet) to the grotesque methods of Russia or the Islamic fundamentalists. They’re simply trying to buy it all with their Belt and Road initiative. They seem to think that world domination is a simple real estate deal. Hopefully they’re wrong -- but who knows?

Regardless of those external threats, if we think internal threats are a greater danger, they are. We are experiencing a national identity crisis, and our distrust of one another...

By far our internal leftist communists are our biggest threat. In one fell swoop they threaten liberty in the USA. They are tools of the communist Chinese and would probably welcome their total expansion across the globe, including North and South America. They are grooming our children to be homosexual trans freaks. They identify muslims as the most valuable minority and white people (still the majority) are the most despised. And there is so much more.

This has all the ingredients of an impending civil war.

Because Trump is literally Hitler?

I'd like these people to come up with an example of actions that Republicans have taken which really threaten this country or anyone in this country. What could it be? Perhaps the idea that a lot of Republicans hold the opinion that Drag Queen Story Hours are not appropriate for schools? People holding such an opinion doesn't seem like the greatest threat this country has ever faced, but I guess they see it differently.

The US Federal Government is the biggest threat to America.

Amen!

The antiAmerican progrssives are in the process of transforming the founders America into a European or British clones. They want the USA to be Canada at least.

The only to stop them is to physically stop them. They have weaponized the law and it is useless against them

It wasn’t Vladimir Putin or some Chinese dictator with a name that sounds like silverware dropping on the floor who threatened to fire Americans for refusing to take an experimental shot.

The DNC “mainstream media” is brainwashing the hell out of the uneducated and ignorant far lefties infesting our America.
And it’s working. In all my years I can’t remember when this many maggots populating this country hated it so damn much. Selfish ignorant bass turds.

“The US Federal Government is the biggest threat to America.”

So I agree with you.
BTW I hate and despise my local and county Government even more. all Democrat.
Aloha.

What political party is responsible for:
Discouraging military recruitment and discharging soldiers and sailors for refusing the clot shot.
Requiring all military personal to undergo diversity and equity training.
Destroying the economy and spending more money than ever that we do not have to promote socialism.
Indoctrinating our children with gender-confusing curriculums and genital mutilation of minors.
Eliminating our major sources of energy in favor of unreliable alternatives.
“Electing” a president whose family has peddled and sold his influence to China and Ukraine for millions of dollars from which the “big guy” has received his 10%.
Depleted America’s Strategic Petroleum Reserves in order to reduce gas prices by a few cents per gallon.
Opened America’s southern border to all comers, including persons with criminal records, international terrorists and 3rd world deadbeats.
And there is so much more.

Well there was the insurrection. And Trump had Putin on speed dial and gave him nuclear secrets. They are also trying to ensure the ballot cast is from the actual voter there by being a total threat to democracy. /s

That’s not really a stretch, considering that Putin is on record stating that the dissolution of the USSR was the ‘greatest political catastrophe of the 20th century’.

“That’s not really a stretch, considering that Putin is on record stating that the dissolution of the USSR was the ‘greatest political catastrophe of the 20th century’.”

Do you know why he said it, as in the context? If you do, then you can cut through the propaganda and things will make a lot more sense.
