somewhere in the middle of the Pacific with an unlimited cache of gunz and ordnance, meth and Red Bull? Patrolled by the Navy so they can't escape.

With luck they'd all kill each other off, to the great benefit of the world.

If this country were ever attacked with a chemical or biological weapon, the right will sweep into power in a way unseen in our history.

If the right gets its way, they will slowly destroy themselves with their bigoted, unpopular policies.

It's a race to the bottom and God only knows who will win. It all depends on what happens with respect to terrorist attacks and political whims.

but I'd say that White, Black and Hispanic Christians and Catholics have been the biggest threats to the nation over the past 40 years.

You're likely to get shot by one of these people during a robbery, driveby shooting, carjacking, etc than you ever will be by a "Radical Islamist" in your lifetime.



Hell, Muslim convenience store owners happen to be the biggest victims of these groups.
