Religious RightWing Nuts - Saving America!!
Link: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-
dyn/content/article/2005/05/07/AR2005050701266_pf.html

Snip: <In his home town of Pearland, Tex., Baptist minister Rick
Scarborough was tireless in promoting his conservative Christian way
of thinking.

He attacked high school sex education courses, experimental medical
treatments and transsexuals trying to change their gender
identification. He recruited like-minded candidates to run for the
local school board and city council. He crisscrossed the country to
protest the ousting of Roy S. Moore, former chief justice of the
Alabama Supreme Court, for installing a Ten Commandments tablet at
his courthouse. And Scarborough created a network of "Patriot
Pastors" to lead evangelicals to the polls in 2004.

Now he has set his sights on bigger stakes: pushing Senate
Republicans to change the rules so that Democrats cannot block
President Bush's judicial nominees. The fight over the judgeships
was once a largely academic argument over the constitutionality of
the filibuster. But now it provides a fiery new front in the culture
war. And Scarborough is emblematic of the Christian right leaders
who have been drawn to the fray.>

6. Religious nuts
Religious fundamentalists from Christianity and Islam mainly are a threat to USA... Look at Islamists, they are fighting Jihad and issuing Fatwa's all over the world...it is always either their way or "kill the infidel"

10. Saving Us From What? I Thought We Were The Greatest Country!
The same people who wave their flags, insist everyone support the troops, and support our president because we are the dominant, most important, and greatest country also claim we're going to hell in a handbasket.

Hmmmm! This is the very definition of paradioxical, is it not? We can't be going to hell in a handbasket since the 1940's and still be the greatest country. Apparently, we did something right! Or, we're not the greatest country, which means they are liars who actually hate this country.

I have my suspicions about which of those options is true.
