1. Bipartisanship -- because we live in a country where there are more than just 2 ideas or sets of ideas; because people who do not agree with the "big 2" should be able to stand up and be heard; having only 2 parties in government control is just like being under the rule of a monarchy (king & queen)... isn't that why America was founded to begin with? To escape the tyrannical nature of government that wasn't truly "of the people, by the people, for the people."
2. Americans -- apathy in general is going to destroy this country; Americans need to stand up and take control back from people that only wish to serve other nations or themselves; Americans need to VOTE; Americans needs to live their own lives and not rely on government to legislate everything
3. Censorship -- the First Amendment is dying a slow death; people need to realize that we have a COLLECTIVE right to free speech and expression; not every person has the right, and in doing so can infringe on others with words or acts that are derogatory in some way; we should also all have the CHOICE whether or not to view/see/partake of something, not let government agencies dictate what we can or can't view/see/partake in

UN-secured border: When our government put two Border Agents in prison for doing their jobs AND gives the illegal a free pass for his testimony, when he was running drugs and shot at them,the Agents, then pay the prep for damages, what's next. We have that answer already......give the United States to every illegal that gets here.
ACLU: Sue happy bastards that will take any and all non-constitutional to heart. How does it apply to terrorist? They are NOT citizens of this country, they have NO RIGHTS under our laws. We use to have a CONSTITUTION, but it's all but gone now. It's been taken from us one sentence at a time.
China: They will (are) ruining us through economics. Continued trade deficits are killing us. Lower the standards here far enough and we shall become a servicing workforce nation. They are Communist (ChiComs) and have been for almost 100 years. Be red or be dead..................I'll take the latter, thank you.
I know you said four (4) but there are soooo many other 'rods in the fire' that are working to destory the United States of America. The population at large won't do anything against the federal government. Thomas Jefferson had stated in the Federalist Paper that 'revolt against the government is needed
from time to time to keep our freedom and a government of the people, for people and for the good of our young nation.......'. Our elected official have lost sight of this. Time was when it was an HONOR to serve this once great country, now it's a self serving body that seeks to bring us under the the ONE WORLD ORDER. I for one, shall not go quietly into the night. This country and my family mean far to much for that to happen.

George W. Bush
Our complete lack of border security
Our economy. For those who only look at the Dow, give it another year. Home foreclosures are at an all time high, that should tell us something.

3-Apathy. People aren't voting anymore, because they're convinced that politicians are all alike, that their votes don't matter
1.-But honestly, when was the last terrorist attack. Yes, it was terrible and awful--but other countries face much, much worse.
2--I don't think that Illegal Immigration is that huge a deal--I think that if the minimum wage was raised a bit, we wouldn't have this problem. Think about it.

1) Terrorism - we're at war against terrorists right now. We have to eliminate the mortal threats posed to Americans by Al-Qaida and others.
2) American Arrogance - we need to begin working with other nations as equal partners instead of simply telling them what to do. Poor relations can do nothing but hasten our downfall.
3) Illegal Immigration - This is a non-issue for me. We were built into a great nation by immigrants, and as our Statue of Liberty says, we ought to continue to welcome the world's "tired, huddled masses" seeking better lives for themselves and their families.

1. AMERICA you our your own worse enemy.
2. Wal-Mart
3. Illegal Immigration
4. Terrorism
Terrorism as far as im concerned is a very small threat because they generaly dont have the ability to start global wars where as IRAN/Nkorea and such could. I tend to worry alot more about the larger picture and not focus on the small as much. I dont think a country can fight freedoms in such a way as to take them away just to be safe like ours is trying to do. I'm a firm believe in the fact that you get what you give and right now we are giving war.

1. George W. Bush for instigating EVERYTHING which would result in more terrorist attacks. Think about it, if Bush didn't go into Iraq, then you wouldn't have this sudden paranoia of terrorist attacks. And don't say it was to prevent another 9/11; there haven't been a foreign terrorist attack on american soil (excluding embassies) between the War of 1812 to September 11th, 2001.
2. American people buying into Bush's weapon of scaring the masses.
3. Lack of funding for the american people and research into scientific advancements...that aren't military.
I like your walmart comment though. lol
