The biggest threat to our country is we can no longer compromise on anything, there is no common meeting ground.
The average American is having his (and his families life) controlled by the federal government.
We have politicians in office (on both sides) who only charge in life is to funnel federal money to his constituents, to look out for his own.
Protecting the United States of America has become a fading dream.
Probably the best chance the United States has of surviving until the next century is a military overthrow of the current government.
I would agree up to ... the military overthrow... As I don't find the military capable of providing the kind of gov I would want. Though they do have the weapons the tax payers paid for....
We have secret police, our government tells it's people to snitch on it's neighbors and to report political incorrectness. The government now has the power to incarcerate it's citizens and hold them indefinitely. The government takes our money, the government passes laws that they themselves are exempt from. American citizens are jailed for speaking their minds, American children are being indoctrinated and brainwashed in American schools.
And you think a military coup will improve this? You are naive ...
It's astonishing how many grown adults don't even understand basic elementary school level history information.
History taught by left wing teachers with a liberal agenda.

Every facist regime or Nazi Party described themselves as National Socialists. The Germans of the 30's and 40's did so. If there is anything at all that is anathama to modern conservatives it is socialism, in any way, shape or form, it sends them into a frenzy. This is why they have such hatred for Obama and the left wing of the Democratic Party. Any political system or ideology that elevates the power and control of its government, while at the same time reducing the freedom of its citizens is leftwing, regardless of differences in its economic or social systems. Goldberg's book "Liberal Fascism" is not fiction or fantasy, nor is it a new concept. The understanding of modern era totalitarian regimes has been around for many decades.
Fascism took root in Italy before Nazi Germany. Mussolini's fascist party took pride in being anti Marxist. Same goes for Franco of Spain.
Benito Mussolini was an ardent, dedicated Marxist Socialist in the first part of his life. He was the editor of a socialist newspaper. He believed in revolutionary socialism rather than reformist socialism. In fact, he was highly regarded during this period by none other than Vladimir Lenin himself. From socialist to fascist was an easy transition. Another example going the other way? After World War II ended, during the Soviet occupation of East Germany, many former Nazis became dedicated communists, working with and cooperatating with the Russians, remaining communists for the rest of their lives.

uhm
naziism is fascism
liberals are progressives....progressive movement gave us marxism, communism, socialism, nazism and fascism
As an ardent admirer of Marx, Benito Mussolini (1883-1945) called his version of Marxist socialism "Fascism" . Instead of nationalization--government ownership--of private business, Mussolini advocated government control of business via complete bureaucratic regulation.
""Fascism is a system in which the government leaves nominal ownership of the means of production in the hands of private individuals but exercises control by means of regulatory legislation and reaps most of the profit by means of heavy taxation. In effect, fascism is simply a more subtle form of government ownership than is socialism."" Mussolini
"The aim of socialism is not only to abolish the present division of mankind into smaller states and all-national isolation, not only to bring the nations closer to each other, but also to merge them." lennin......reeks of "globalism"...ie liberals
or how about someone more current..a advisor to carter, bush1, clinton and obama: ....Zbigniew Brzezinski .........""This is a form of Socialism known as fascism, and it will be the type of world government the power elite plans ultimately to bring about and control. In this government, the power elite will control politicians who will become government leaders who will promulgate laws, rules and regulations favorable to certain transnational corporations"""
dont belive me.....here is HGWells in 1932
H.G. Wells was of the greatest influences on the progressive mind in the twentieth century (and, it turns out, the inspiration for Huxley's Brave New World). Wells didn't coin the phrase as an indictment, but as a badge of honor. Progressives must become "liberal fascists" and "enlightened Nazis," he told the Young Liberals at Oxford in a speech in July 1932.
This is why the fake liberals of today call themselves "liberal". They hijacked the word after progressive was tainted with Hitler, Eugenics, population control, economic fascism, etc.
In a laudatory review of Roosevelt's 1933 book Looking Forward, Mussolini wrote, "Reminiscent of Fascism is the principle that the state no longer leaves the economy to its own devices.… Without question, the mood accompanying this sea change resembles that of Fascism."
the history is there, just because you dont like that people like mussilini and hitler tarnished the name of progressives, doesnt mean it didnt happen
Nazism is a form of fascism, not all fasism is Nazism.

Wrong. Mussolini called Fascism corporatism
"Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." -- Benito Mussolini
