Instead of questioning my own perceptions and opinions of Barack Obama, I question the intelligence of those who support him. So when and Andy Griffith throws his support behind Obama I don’t say to myself, “Gee am I missing something Opie’s dad isn’t?” I actually say, “Gee I always had the perception that Opie’s dad was kinda smart. Boy was I wrong.”
Andy Griffith opposed Jesse Helms as well, as I recall...
He certainly was in his role as Andy Taylor. The show was one of the all-time best on family-values and morality. He must have been one heck of an actor. What a disappointment.
