A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 51% of Likely U.S. Voters consider radical Muslims to be the bigger threat to the United States today. Thirteen percent (13%) view the Tea Party that way, and another 13% consider other political and religious extremists to be the larger danger. Six percent (6%) point to local militia groups. Two percent (2%) see the Occupy Wall Street movement as the bigger terrorist threat. (To see survey question wording


Quote:
However, among those who approve of the president’s job performance, just 29% see radical Muslims as the bigger threat. Twenty-six percent (26%) say it’s the Tea Party that concerns them most. Among those who Strongly Approve of the president, more fear the Tea Party than radical Muslims.

As for those who disapprove of Obama’s performance, 75% consider radical Muslims to be the bigger terrorist threat. Just one percent (1%) name the Tea Party.

Yeah, a political party that wants the country to return to lower taxes, smaller government and the constitution is a "Terrorist Threat".

/facepalm

Well, we're talking public opinion here. Monty thought that guy that shot the abortion doctor in... Nebraska I think it was, was a terrorist despite him apparently being just a lone wolf nutcase, and he actually believes the crap the SPLC puts out. It's hardly surprising that 13% of the people out there believe that sort of nonsense.

That said,the "bigger threat" is not any of those listed there.

Direct correlation to smear stories in the news?

Biggest threat to the American people - the American government.

I am going to go with the media for the following:

1) They incite panic over mundane things that are no real threat such as weather, disease, racial tension, governments, terrorists, individuals, neighborhoods, etc.
2) Their constant alarm-bell ringing over the above makes us numb to genuine alarms
3) Opinions and facts are interchangeable and indistinguishable in their format

I am going to say the biggest person I consider a threat is Müs. First he threatens to make me healthier, and then he makes it not suck to go cycling. Next thing I know and BAM... I am already considering n+1 and hoping to find a significant other to worry about s-1. Never trust friends whom you have known for 20+ years to stay unhealthy with you.

Now he threatens to take the hawt ladies... leaving me with more crazy beeches like usual.

You have come far my Pedalwan. There is still far for you to go.

In time, you shall find a VMH of your own, and thankful you will be if she understands The Rules, and never has to tell you "Rule 5 man! Come on!" in bed.
