Here is a great piece of video work in which the old "Dragnet" star Jack Webb, and his partner lecture - President Barack Obama - about the virtues of America. This video is built off of an original "Dragnet" episode.

It's a perfect parallel to the same kook philosophy of the 1960's that wanted to throw everything out about America as bad and "remake" the nation. Their advice to 1960's radicals then, is totally applicable today.

NOTE: At the end, Webb says, "Don't try to build a new country; make the old one work - it has for over 400 years."

Obviously the United States has not been around for 400 years, but I'm assuming he is going back to Columbus (over 400 years) or the Pilgrims coming to America (just under 400 years). Anyhow, this was great! . . . (VIDEO)

Isn't it the liberal leftists who complain about the craziness of Bush wanting to engage in "nation building" in places like Iraq, who say that these places cannot be changed simply by the U.S. moving in and imposing on them foreign ideas of representative democracy, who say that the centuries of chaos and dictatorial rule cannot be overcome with good intentions and a plan imposed through military conquest?

Well, the United States has had centuries of mostly peace and progress and self-rule. Why does Obama think he can come into office and, by the force of his will (and billions of dollars to organizations like Acorn), agitate, uproot our traditions, and retrofit us for a statist view of paradise dreamed up by foreign ideas of political organization that have failed wherever they've been tried over the past hundred years or so and have subjected many hundreds of millions to oppression, persecution, and death?

To those who say they want to change American because they "love" her — I say I love the Mona Lisa and what to change her.

That's right......I love the Mona Lisa so much that the next time I'm in Paris I'm going to take a Sharpie and draw a mustache on her.

Great illustration! It makes just as much sense as what Obama and cohorts are trying to do to America!

Webb says, "Don't try to build a new country; make the old one work - it has for over 400 years.

The problem is the libs and commies don't think the country has worked for 400 years. They believe it is and has been an evil, racist, capitalist nation, and its values and morals have to be destroyed in order to install the new socialist ones.
