Attacked!

It happened near Detroit International--close to home. But more importantly, more significantly, and more sobering is the fact that it happened at all.

The agencies in charge of protecting us have failed miserably.

At least the brave people aboard that flight managed to subdue the would-be mass murderer. It's a good thing that we can still count on individual passengers to defend themselves.

It's very interesting to note, too, the fact that the terrorist is not being called what he is--a terrorist. Instead, he's a "young man," or a "Nigerian." And his efforts to kill hundreds of innocents are simply an "alleged plot."

You can't sugarcoat evil. This administration, and the media need to learn that if it smells like a terrorist, sounds like a terrorist, and acts like a terrorist, then it is one.

It's nice to know that our representatives and senators are always thinking about our well-being.
