You've got to be kidding, right? Oh yes it's the racism boogey man.

Big bad RACISTS are gonna break into your home, rob you and rape your wife.

Get a clue.

1. This illegal immigrant INVASION is no accident. No other nation in the world has allowed itself to be taken over by people of a different nationality, culture, and language.

2. There may be race wars in the near future (within 25 years)

3. I foresee food and water shortages as the system collapses under the weight of millions upon millions of uneducated, disease ridden illegals (from MANY nations) of the world come to feed at the trough.

So you don't consider racist groups such as Voz de Aztlan or MEChA to be a problem? Ummm ok. Been to L.A. lately?

True, democracy is not a synonym for goodness. But once Hitler and Chavez got the reins of power democracy was pretty much thrown out the window.

Scary stuff here, but I do agree with alot of it too.

On a smaller scale but just as equally damaging....is the fact that..

Other countries own us...and our money.
We are headed for globalization.
Diseases are headed our way, we have no way of dealing with it or are we anywhere near it too.
Several warheads are aimed at us, and who knows when they will hit the USA

Ugh..think I will log off now, just too much here to think bout.

It's human nature for those in power to seek to expand that power. That's why we must always be vigiliant in protecting our liberties. I don't mind the crackpot conspiracy theorists nearly as much as the mindless sheep.

I'd say that both China and the radical Islamic communities are huge threats to our nation, that the media is influencing an entire generation in the wrong direction, and that there are probably cures or prevention methods for AIDS and cancer that don't make enough money in treatment, or are too expensive for the average person to pay for (Magic Johnson has to be some sort of proof).

1) Decline into 2nd or 3rd world status

2) Aging of the baby boomers and the ensuing crisis with the Social Security/
Medicare entitlement system

3) Decline of the nation's ecosystems and the ensuing lack of vital resources necessary to sustain life for our citizens

4) The high cost and unattainability of quality healthcare for the middle class in this country.
