Who Is America's Biggest Enemy?
WTRK (Hampton Roads) ^ | 2/26.2006 | AP

Iran has replaced Iraq as the country Americans consider to be their greatest enemy, according to a Gallup Poll. Canada and Great Britain were ranked as America's best friends.

The percentage of Americans with a positive view of France and Germany has moved up sharply since 2003, the poll said, when the two allies challenged President Bush's Iraq policy.

Thirty-one percent of Americans gave the nod to Iran as the worst enemy in polling of 1,002 adults between Feb. 6-9.

This represented an increase from 14 percent last year, and appeared to reflect growing American concern over the potential for the Islamic republic to acquire nuclear weapons.

Twenty-two percent listed Iraq as the worst enemy, the same total as a year ago.

#3 a tie between Michael Moore and Michael Savage

I've heard Michael Savage on the radio a few times, and he didn't strike me as 'bad'. Am I missing something?

Statists who demand laws to solve every problem and nonproblem. They are choking freedom and destroying liberty. And they are well represented in both of the major parties.

Well said,

The Notary of the Slaver [Corporations].

System is working beyong expectations.

They walk in the room and throw the shackles down......and we put them on ourselves.

Alot of this debate is easily solved when posing the question ,

Were you happier in the 50's and 60's etc etc.

Of course ...a voice at the back yells,
No way....look at all the wonders we have today.

so ya....are you happy though?

Eminent Domain ,...probably reveals the darkest side/truth of our reality state today.
Unless its George Washingtons house....its scoffered for a hotel,or corporate something.
an utter distortion of the Law clause which states the annex for Public use.
One fella who lost his house [Got ripped off on the payout], said....ya...Public use......like I can go swim in that hotels pool

The great danger I see,...is that society is becoming knumb to all the offenses.
Frog put to boil in a different way.

The enemy within: liberals and terrorist cells. Sometimes I wonder which of the two is more dangerous. :)

And moreover, that we would guard against the intrigues of any and every foreign Nation who shall endeavor to intermingle (however covertly and indirectly) in the internal concerns of our country; or who shall attempt to prescribe rules for our policy with any other power, if there be no infraction of our engagements with themselves, as one of the greatest evils that can befall us as a people; for whatever may be their professions, be assured fellow Citizens and the event will (as it always has) invariably prove, that Nations as well as individuals, act for their own benefit, and not for the benefit of others, unless both interests happen to be assimilated (and when that is the case there requires no contract to bind them together).


pretty much called out our SCOTUS

I think here we bicker and fight among ourselves but each side believes they are correct. However Islam is our enemy.
