[Mac1958]

Narcissistic, absolutist hardcore partisan ideologues who refuse to look in the mirror, placing political victory over country.

[TexM3]

Our government/corporate oligarchy.

The way I see it too. These people don't think we should pave our roads or invest our own country. They're a real threat....

Muslims extremist are like them!

 

[ScienceRocks]

Our government/corporate oligarchy.

So having the best r&d and getting things done is a threat. You're a idiot! Governments been working with the private sector for over a thousand years. Ever heard of a charter? Or how we explored the new world?

 

[PredFan]

Hands down, the biggest threat to this country is Progressives.

Our debt.

And we're not spending anymore on things that help America then we did 30 years ago. Who is taking all this money??? It isn't our infrastructure, it is isn't our starving science programs and it certainly isn't education. The fact people like you won't answer this is why I think you're a bigger threat then the isis.

You're here weakening America,,,while the isis is half way around the planet.

You hold him accountable for the spending done by others...

 

[Billy_Kinetta]

The Democratic Party and those like-minded are the greatest threat to the United States at this time.

That's funny! It seems to me that usmessageboard consensus is you're the idiot. If you can't see that our current government is beyond dysfunctional that makes you a blind idiot.

The seeming impossibility for the majority to be capable of real thinking, analysis and choice-making.

I was gonna say "racism" because it destroys from within, but this is by far the best answer:

Narcissistic, absolutist hardcore partisan ideologues who refuse to look in the mirror, placing political victory over country.

Can't top that. Perfectly exhibited already in posts 7, 11 and 13.
And many more to come I have no doubt.

You beat me to it. The criminals and criminal supporters that are the Democrat party, not just the far left zealots, are the greatest threat.

You really, really need to check your facts.
