An Arizona congressman says it is a problem when U.S. officials fail to speak clearly – for example not calling a terrorist a terrorist – when discussing the dangers the nation faces in confronting enemies.

U.S. Rep. John Shadegg, R-Ariz., was interviewed by Greg Corombos of Radio America on the issue of new orders in the Obama administration that words such as "war on terror" and "enemy combatant" no longer be used.

Shadegg said those terms are specifically descriptive so that people can understand what's going on.

Backbones are desperately needed in this nation. Words have meaning. Choosing words that are inaccurate but politically correct only makes the situation worse because it is a sign of weakness where strength needs to be shown.

Thank you Congressman Shadegg for you common sense.

The Congressman votes with the Constitution about 80% of the time.

Perhaps “terrorist” is too long a word for the average ACORN voter to understand.

Can ICE change “Work Site Enforcement” to “Impromptu Immigration Activity” so they can go back to enforcing the law?

I don't know about the nation, but we sure need a few more filling the Republican seats in Congress.

About 5 letters too long for thier 4-letter-word vocabularies.
