So, you do believe that a "father knows best" approach by our government is best.

We've had these "Orange" alerts in the past, nothing happened. It is kind of hard to get worked up over repeated alerts, little boy who cried wolf, etc. Again, we are at Orange..so what....except, we now have specific information, which really makes people sit up and take notice.

The President has a duty to protect the citizens of the U.S. and even if the government has specific information about an attack, there is no guarantee it will be stopped in time.
