A plot to destroy America would look like this ...
What if the 10 Russian spies weren't the only enemy agents to
infiltrate the United States? What if some other alien power has
planted a fifth column of pretend Americans to destroy America from
within?
How could these hypothetical terrorists undermine the most powerful
nation on Earth?
Given America's economic strength, one tactic for destroying America
would be to bankrupt the country with massive federal deficits. The
easiest way to accomplish this would be to cut the taxes on the rich
without cutting the budget.
Given America's military strength, one enemy tactic would be to
exhaust the military by engaging in never-ending wars without
providing sufficient personnel (draft) and equipment (no money
because of the tax cuts for the rich).
Given America's traditional unity, one destructive tactic would be to
divide Americans over inconsequential issues such as gay marriage,
abortion and religion.
Given America's lead in science, one ruinous tactic would be to
destroy America's public educational system by teaching creationism,
denying global-warming science and establishing religious schools
masquerading as charter schools.
If this sounds like a certain political party and their tea-based
shock troops, maybe you should vote them out of office before they
destroy America completely.
