Who Terrorizes me more? Al Qaeda or Wall Street and the lobbyists
At this point in time..I have to say Wall Street..I've already lost one home...I may lose another..My credit went from perfect for 40 years to trashed in a couple months.. I see families and old people losing their homes or the value in their homes every day..people unable to pay for food at the grocery store..a middle class that is being destroyed...people living in their cars...EVERYONE I know scared shitless over the economy and how they are going to make it thru the month..or keep their electricity on

Yep..I'm scared alright..but not by Al Qaeda..I'm scared that the banksters are getting multi million dollar bonuses this year instead of being held accountable..I'm scared that no one appears to be held accountable for anything..I'm downright terrorized but it has nothing to do with Al Qaeda

2. "Who Terrorizes me more? Al Qaeda or Wall Street and the lobbyists"
That is a very good point, and I agree totally... Al Qaeda presents no present danger to us that I can determine, yet the thugs on Wall Street and the lobbyists continue to terrorize us every day.

4. I think the odds of going bankrupt and losing your home are greater than being bombed
Did Al Qaeda cause the manufacturing base to send the jobs to China, India, Mexico.......?
How many Americans die each year due to a lack of healthcare?
How many die from Al Qaeda bombings in America?

I could go on and on

6. Wall Street
Al Quaeda knocked down two buildings and hit the Pentagon. Wall Street turned every single industry in my town into a rotting building with broken windows.

18. Then it sounds like you've got time on your hands........
and you can maybe find information beyond the simple Black and White in describing the economic situation and understand that what happened economically to this country in the past year or so was years in the making, and this administration ain't being led by a magic negro with a magic wand.

11. Can we send those 30,000 troops to fight Wall Street instead, Mr. President?
I agree with you, as of now, Wall Street is a bigger threat to the American way of life than any other force.

I heard Goldman Sachs are arming themselves, we better stop them before they get their hands on a nuke.
