We must always be on guard and vigilant but...
...we should never succumb to the fears and paranoia of politicians - especially around election time.
Nothing is as fearful to politicians as the threat of defeat. They do not hesitate to use fear and paranoia for political advantage. Even your toothpaste can become a threat to national security, the closer we get to election day.

Yes, we should always be vigilant and on guard to protect our country but we should not make decisions out of fear or trepidation. We should distance ourselves from those folks that see enemies everywhere and threats everywhere, even in toothpaste. That is insanity.

There should be warning labels on the tubes!

CAUTION: Terrorists might be hiding in this tube. Shake well and listen for screams before opening.

3. We need to be "on guard and vigilant" of politicians.
We should "trust" them only to be politicians.
