The harmless, mini-drone landing on the White House lawn, underscores the potential threats and security challenges our top-elected leaders and nation face with potentially armed drones.
This event, topped with today's reported video from ISIS threatening to behead Obama in the White House and turn America into an Islamic province, is a threat against all of us Americans and our democracy.
It further underscores the necessity and purpose of the Patriot Act, along with the built-in checks and balances it provides.
The Patriot Act helps protect all of us from the common enemy of radical, violent Islamic extremist that will behead, blow-up or shoot anyone that does not agree with their violent agenda.
We should thank our Congress and presidents of both parties for standing up against Tea Party pressure to eliminate the Patriot Act.
The Patriot Act gives us a fighting chance to uncover sophisticated attack plots against our government, citizens and freedoms, before the attacks are operational.

I just wonder who is going to protect us from your President, sir. Our soldiers continue to risk their lives to capture the radical terrorists only to have your President give them back. Those are our enemies.
I suggest your President is a traitor who should be arrested, not permitted to stay in office.

Ah yes - the Patriot Act was quite successful in prohibiting a drunk man from flying a drone onto the grounds of supposedly the most secure address on the planet - now wasn't it?
