Who Is More Your Enemy? Who Is A Greater Threat To America?

[DistressedAmerican]

Poll question: Who Is More Your Enemy? Who Is A Greater Threat To America?

I ask you.

Who is the bigger threat to our freedom and way of life?

Freeper or Iraqi Insurgent?

[sabra]

1. suspected freeper

guilty before innocent.

[ironman202]

7. get him on attempted suspicion

[Goldmund]

2. An apples-and-oranges comparison.

[DistressedAmerican]

3. I Don't Think So. Bush Claims That Iraqi Insurgents Are A Threat To Our

way of life. I wonder if that is as true as many Americans seem to believe. I think Bush and his Freeper supporters are a threat to our way of life.

It it time we weigh which is the bigger threat.

All enemies foreign and domestic...

[Ian David]

6. No insurgent ever called me DUmmie, to paraphrase Mohamed Ali n/t

8. Very Funny AND Great Pic!

Way to stick it to those chickenhawk mofos!

[Goldmund]

13. Well,

if one believes the war in Iraq is not justified -- as I do and we mostly all do -- then the insurgents aren't inherently a threat at all, but merely an inevitable consequence of a failed war; they only exist as a "threat" in the context of that war.

"The freeper", by the same token, is the demographic that supports the administration which we all see as contrary to American values and destructive to American way of life. If that administration is a threat, and it is, then implicitly, so is its enabler: "The freeper".

But these are two completely different planes. I hold no hatred for "the Freeper", and in a sense consider him/her a victim of the Administration along with everyone else. They are our neighbors and our families and our... well, OK, maybe not friends, but you know what I mean. It all depends on what you mean by "threat". The freeper is a threat only in an abstract sense. I also think that America has been hurt by Bush's policies more than by the terrorists -- does that mean I think that we should deal with Bush and his supporters more harshly than with the terrorists? Of course not. The "weapons" of the two respective battles are entirely different. The ways to fight the two battles are entirely different as well. And the "threat" itself is entirely different.

16. You seem prety clear to me. We completely agree. Well Almost.

I do hate freepers.

They are the Americans that make Bush possible. They are more of a problem than one administration. Can't stand them. Have a viceral reaction to them.

I agree that they pose different threats. But, does that stop us from trying to guage which is a graver threat?

[Goldmund]

18. Well, OK --

-- what is the purpose of this gauging?

[DistressedAmerican]

19. A Reminder Who The Real Threat Is, Who We Need To Be Worried About.

Is that a problem for you?

[Swamp Rat]

21. Here's the threat you mentioned...

INVASION!!! :rofl:



These stupid, fat freedomfry lizard drones are more likely to shoot themselves in the foot cleaning their gun. :rofl:

[DistressedAmerican]

22. Or These Ass Hats!

[Goldmund]

23. Kinda

only because it inaccurately frames the dynamic that exists. And thus, weakens us in that battle.

[carnie_sf]

4. I thought

freepers were insurgents

[DistressedAmerican]

9. They Are American Insurgents. I Specified Iraqi!

:evilgrin:

[carnie_sf]

11. Oh

[eallen]

5. This is important. American freedom is not at risk from Islamic jihad....

But from its own, home-grown fundamentalists. Abortion. Birth control. Gay marriage. Gay adoption. Religious freedom. They all are under attack from the radical right.

[me b zola]

24. Good point

Who has been responsible for more bombings and acts of violence on American soil----freepers.

Who, in the US, calls for violence against members of the Judiciary, Congress, and Americans who disagree with them politically----freepers

Who is willing to destroy our Bill of Rights and flush the Constitution----freepers

10. Good thing there's no way this poll could be misconstrued.

12. How So?

Does not seen confusing to me.

[blindpig]

14. the ruling class

Freepers are just foot soldiers.

[DistressedAmerican]

15. 59 million votes for the ruling class makes them more than footsoldiers...

They are the base from which the repugs draw their power.

Of The Repugs, By The Repugs, For The Repugs!

[Initech]

17. The Freepers so far have done more damage to the US than the terrorists!

Although they both kneel before zod like a flock of sheep, so it's not surprising.

[Joey Liberal]

20. Freepers are a cancer n.t

[DistressedAmerican]

25. Kicker

[DistressedAmerican]

27. ...

[LeftyElvis]

26. People who don't vote

are my enemy. If they did vote, this would be the most progressive country in the world. We get the government we deserve.

Vote people, vote.

[DistressedAmerican]

28. 9 votes for Iraqi Insurgent. No Argument Why At All.

I guess lurking freeps do not vote against their own!

Hi Lurkers!
