Aunt Bea wouldn't like that....

That's what Barney would say to Sheriff Andy Taylor when some incredible event befell Mayberry and its citizens. Well, I'm not too sure she'd like BO right now, either after the stunt he just pulled.

The latest communique to Sheriff Joe from President Barack Hussein Obama tells him to back off the illegals, effectively restoring the right to privacy. Oh, wait a minute... the illegals are trespassing criminals who don't have rights -- sorry for the confusion. Seriously, though, if anyone had any doubts that the government wants open borders and resident status for illegals this should seal the argument. If anyone had any doubts that the left wants the United States to fail this is a huge blow to true Patriots. If anyone had any doubts that the Democrats and Republicans might have given just a little shit about the country and US citizens let this be the final nail in their coffin.

Let me put that in all caps (and yes I know it's rude to yell): THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES DOES NOT SUPPORT THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES. Voters are a necessary evil to our politicians.

We hear a lot of talk about the Constitutionality of certain laws and their interpretation. John Kerry stated he thought the courts should interpret the Constitution to match the laws, where conservatives believe the courts should interpret the laws to match the Constitution. This is an extremely volatile area of contention -- ain't it grand?! Personally, I think the Founders had their shit together pretty darned good if you know what I mean, but please indulge me while I bloviate (as Bill would say).

The Preamble to the Constitution reads: We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

So, it's the PEOPLE who established a place where right is right and good is good. They wanted fairness to prevail, equal opportunity for all, a peaceful law-abiding population, sharing of good fortune, and asked only that the government protect them and keep them protected. That's it, that's all they wanted; and it's all they put into effect. As the Godfather said, "Look what a mess they made of my boy!"


Article I Section 8 lists the powers of Congress, like making sure we have a navy and an army; also to establish mail delivery, determine arenas of justice, keep fairness in trade amongst the states, war declaration, and fund raising. It goes on to give Congress the option to pass any law it deems necessary to assure the aforementioned.

Article 2 establishes the Executive branch. Section 2 is where the real haps show up: It's where POTUS gets the job of Mr. Big, the Head Honcho, Pick of the Pack, Cream of the Crop -- the Commander-in-Chief of the armed services and the National Guard of all the states. POTUS also gets to pick many of the judges, name a Cabinet, swing deals with other countries, and even pardon some of the judges -- er, criminals, that is. (Well, except for the army stuff, POTUS has to kiss the Senate's collective asses to approve all of those choices.) Article 2 Section 3 lists what the President is supposed to do. It's where the State of the Union address is assigned, suggest things for Congress to do, be the Host-in-Chief, and (here comes a biggie) make sure the laws are carried out, followed, enforced.

Article IV Section 6 has some housekeeping stuff but also requires all officers of the United States to swear an oath of allegiance to the United States.



Those are some of the highlights from that yellowed, faded document under yellow glass and hermetically sealed in a glass box and stored in a nuclear safe environ when not on display. I don't know about anyone else but I see a few discrepencies in what it says versus how things actually are.

There's GOT to be a lawyer somewhere who will take on the case to sue the government officials for failure to perform some of their duties. Maybe Sheriff Joe can do something about it, but the closer he would come to a solution the faster POTUS would try to stop him.
