Are there terrorists to fear in the US?

Do citizens (kids, teenagers, young adults, adults, men women etc) still fear terrorists in the United States although Osama died?

I think home-grown terrorists are our biggest threats at the moment. There is so much unrest in this country that I believe that the fringe element is getting ready to make another "statement" similar to Oklahoma City.

More like nightmares. I had one last night where two huge dudes were fighting and then one of them turned on me. For some reason I had a big walking stick in my hand and I went to town on the dude. The stick looked like a tooth pick when I got done and the dude was a puddle. lol......I don't know WHERE that came from since I am a non-violent person.

Hmmm. Well, I had a dream night before last where FreudianSlip, SportsGuy and MonaSez and I were having drinks and they sent me out after wine. And we know THAT'S not gonna happen either. And as far as your dream goes, the guy WAS asking for it!

Well not to the point where people can't go outside. But during big events like national parades and stuff they do have people on the watch.

Everyone needs to fear foreign terrorists just as much as we should fear our own government. Or at least have a healthy suspicion. Question authority.

Not all terrorists are/were affiliated with Al Qaeda. I worry more about the "lone wolf" nut cases floating around loose out there. The odds of becoming a victim of one is low though. You are more likely to be killed by someone you know in a domestic situation, or by a random act of violence, than by a terrorist.

If you're talking about terrorism in general, that is still going on. Just look at the Colorado theater shoot up. If you're talking about radical Muslim terrorism, than yes, but only a little bit... I heard there is some sort of Muslim holiday going on in which radical Muslims don't kill for awhile. I only heard that once, though.

The most dangerous terrorists in the US currently are right-wing extremists like the guy who killed 6 people at the Sikh temple last week, and the so-called "sovereign citizens" who have engaged in shootouts with police on several occasions recently.

That nut case was a fascist. Left wing not Right wing despite your wish to promote your propaganda.
Who are the sovereign citizens you are referring to? I don't seem to recall any of those. More facts please.
Report as
Fascism is a right-wing ideology. You clearly know nothing at all about political beliefs, and are just parroting a bunch of nonsensical lies.
Either use your brain and learn actual facts, or stop wasting everybody's time with your worthless BS.
Report as
You really need to study up on your social skills. I heartily disagree with your belief that fascism is right wing http://www.anesi.com/Fascism-TheUltimateDefinition.htm
Report as
Hit submit before I was ready. The gentlemen in this study do not agree with you either.
So take a chill pill, a deep breath and relax.
Report as
Let me put it clearly -- you are a fool who is publicly declaring that you are stupid.
Any person who knows anything about politics, whether they are liberal or conservative, knows that fascism is right-wing. The claim that it isn't was dreamed up by the psycho Glenn Beck, and is every bit as moronic as claiming that water is dry.
Now shut up. You have proved conclusively that you have NOTHING worthwhile to say.

Our country is vast. Many states have different demographics. Any person who becomes deranged or is influenced by militants of one form or another can become terrorists. The individual terrorist is the hardest to detect.

We don't need to fear them, we just need to rise against them with the bravery and courage this country is founded on, a country that many brave men and woman have fought and died for, and a big shout out to the troops who continue to fight to keep us safe from terrorists.

Yes, there are terrorists trying to sneak into the country through the southern border, they pretend to be Mexicans, but they're A.Q., Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, etc. The ZETAs are helping them.

Yes. And they don't have certain appearance. Anybody can be a terrorist. Look at that lunatic in Co and Texas. It's scary, just try to be observant of your surroundings. That's all you can do.
