More than half of all Americans say the greatest danger to America's way of life comes from their fellow citizens, according to a CBS News poll released Sunday.
A total of 54 percent of those surveyed said that "other people in America, and domestic enemies" posed the "biggest threat" to American society at this point in time ahead of "economic forces" at 20 percent, "the natural world" at 17 percent and "foreign countries" at 8 percent. The category of "natural world" was a catch-all that included hazardous weather and other natural disasters, as well as lethal viruses, a nod to the coronavirus pandemic.

This poll was taken just after the sacking of the capitol so it likely reflects the mood of the moment. Watching cable news I have been inundated with images of the incoherent mob on their ungodly mission.
But this reflects not only my side but the other side too. Well we have always been accused of being godless commies, but I think in earlier times most folks just laughed it off, anymore, not so much. Ladies and Gentlemen of the other side, I beseech you, if 8 years of Bill Clinton and Obama couldn't hoist the red star what makes you think Biden, the most moderate of all the candidates in the primaries, with razor thin majorities in both houses and Joe Manchin in the Senate is going to do it? As for my side, I am still alarmed at the mob and the talk, but am hoping it is just some, well I don't know what, but I am hoping it will fade beginning November 20.
