"You're Not The King!!!"

One of my favorite movies is "The Naked Gun" starring Leslie Nielson: this was the first in a series of films with Nielson portraying Frank Drebin, a dedicated and totally inept detective. There are too many scenes to mention all of them where Drebin exhibits some form of idiocy that makes me laugh out loud: one that does stick in my head is when he addresses a press conference about the forthcoming visit of the Queen of England. Frank says, "We will do our best to protect the Queen on her visit to Los Angeles; because no matter how silly the people of America feel about the idea of a Queen is, she will be well protected here." I laughed out loud the first time I heard that line, but if one thinks about it, I'm pretty sure most Americans find the idea of a king or queen is pretty silly. We are a country who likes the idea of self rule; nobody should have dictatorial power over us, nobody should be able to subvert our Constitution. Our Constitution is designed to reflect the will of the American majority. We have a system of "checks and balances" to assure us that no one person or group can twist or misuse our Constitution. I like this system, even when things happen that I don't agree with, because it is supposed to be what the majority desires for America.

Dictators all want the full power of government with no one to answer to; those who don't agree are usually sent away, never to be seen again. Not too many people who were critical of Hitler or Stalin lived long and fruitful lives: their governing bodies of representatives were little more than "rubber stamps" for anything these evil men wanted. I don't ever want America to live under the whims of a dictator or self appointed king!

Last week, our president spoke before a Hispanic group in Washington about illegal immigration. Mr. Obama stated that on this issue "I'd like to work MY way around Congress." He said he mentioned this at an earlier speech to "La Raza", the racist Hispanic group which advocates allowing criminal illegal aliens free citizenship. As I wrote earlier this month, Obama is engaged in a policy of ignoring most illegal aliens and allowing them a virtual free pass into our schools and welfare system.

Numerous polls have shown that the American people have very strong feelings against this "back-dooring" of criminal illegal aliens into the United States, yet Barack Obama feels he has the right to ignore the will of our people. NO ILLEGAL ALIENS SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO ANY GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS; THEY ARE CRIMINALS! The American people have been very vocal about how they want this issue addressed, yet Barack Obama has turned a deaf ear to LEGAL CITIZENS and wants to WORK HIS WAY AROUND CONGRESS to achieve his agenda.

Americans need to remind Barack Obama that he is not "The King"; and he is obligated to follow the laws of the land under the Constitution of the United States of America. In America, it's not "good to be the king"!
