WASHINGTON (CBSDC/AP) — The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee warns that America is dealing with “the highest threat level we have ever faced in this country.” Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., told CBS’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday that the threat is coming from the radicalization of young people and foreign fighters heading to Iraq and Syria to join terror groups. “They’re very good at communicating through separate avenues where it’s very difficult to track,” Nunes said. “That’s why when you get a young person who is willing to get into these chat rooms, go on the Internet and get radicalized, it’s something we are not only unprepared [for], we are also not used to it in this country.”

require people to “pet a pig” before boarding a plane.

There should be pig skin arm rests, pictures of piggies and air-pigs on every plane.

Require any likely suspects to pass through a special "mohammed joke and cartoon booth" in the security area. If they whack out...

Same with subway, bus and train stations, and large public buildings.

We can eliminate that threat by opening the border and letting everyone in without asking questions.

will America's Military stand with the politicians or will America's Military stand with the People?

Actually I was not referring to either the military nor the politicians, but only to "The People".

“ISIS is not the immediate threat. China is mobilizing for war, and they are looking to one-punch us.”

Don’t fret. Obama will protect us with his Presence. He is. That is all that is required. You see, he doesn’t look like former American leaders - he is not white.

Bathhouse Barry would be thrilled to declare martial law because some “ISIS” terrorists attacked America from within.

TPTB are intent on breaking up America.

By whatever and every means possible.

Watch the evening news and the increasing stupidity over symbolism, pop music and flourishing bad ideas on housing, the economy, etc.

ISIS is not the immediate threat. China is mobilizing for war, and they are looking to one-punch us.

Here is your nightmare scenario:

ISIS in the US stages an attack against US government facilities.

Obama blames conservatives, veterans and the Tea Party.

Investigations are started. The media goes right along with this.

ISIS in the US stages large attacks in several US cities simultaneously. Obama calls this racism.

Agitation begins. Minorities riot. The wealthy and white citizens are targets.

More ISIS in the US attacks against government facilities. The military and federal government are in disarray.

Now China attacks.
