No need to shout. Try calming down a bit.

Perfect.

It's not the number of incidents or potential incidents, but the number killed that constitutes the biggest threat, as far as I'm concerned.
Actually 'threat' as a word implies potential. Also, terrorism is about more than just killing - disruption and economic damage are also terrorist aims, and the prime one is to cause fear (hence the name 'terrorism').

Which was worse--domestic white supremacist terror or Islamic terror over the past 20 years?

I think it's inarguably Islamic terrorism because they have KILLED MORE AMERICANS.

Emphasis because you seem to not understand that.
You are so busy trying to get me to understand your point, that you are failing to comprehend what I'm saying. I have not at any point said that right wing terrorism is a greater threat than Islamic terrorism. You are the one arguing as if that's what I've been saying. You mentioned '#1 threat' first, and I asked who was saying it. Your response? To continue to argue as if I was.

I'm saying that the right wing terrorism threat should be taken more notice of, and that when a report came out to highlight it, Republicans in Congress denounced it. That report did not claim it was the #1 threat either, just that it was a threat, and had the potential to be worse due to various factors.

I quite understand that you see the terrorist threat from Islamic extremists to be the biggest threat. You have repeated it quite enough already that it's becoming very tedious. That does not negate or even contradict my position - that the terrorist threat from right wing extremists is real and dangerous.

But he doesn't do all the work. And he doesn't know everything that it does, all the time. And what is there to 'blame' him for, in the opinion of security experts on the threats to the USA?


The buck doesn't stop with him, no sir.
Sure it does. But the buck has to get to him first. Rather than blaming any executive failing (however big or small) on the President automatically, you could do a little to show how the blame gets there, and what it is he did/did not to that caused the failure.

Your ODS is showing a tad...

Obama is not responsible?

Got it.

My arguments are tedious?

Read yours.
