Barney Fife and the Preamble to the Constitution

Doug Examines the Constitution! - We the People

With all the talk about what's constitutional and what's not, I thought it might be fun to refresh my memory in what it actually says.

Previously: Doug Examines the Constitution! - Prologue

-from the Constitution in it's original form:

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, 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."

I like the idea of forming "a more perfect Union"; I try to be more perfect. I know I'm not perfect but I can become better. That's what I feel the founding fathers were expressing.

And how would they become more perfect? By:

• establishing justice
• insuring domestic peace
• providing an army to protect the citizens
• keeping a certain level of care for citizens
• benefiting from being free

And it will be established by the following laws and rules of government we call the Constitution.

You can find out more about the Constitution at the Charters of Freedom site.

Next: Article 1

Doug Examines the Constitution! - Prologue

Actually, I will be. Every article and amendment, even the preamble.

To wet your appetites, I got a little video from YouTube. Note that I'm doing this as a public service and I don't own the copyrighted material. It's just with all the talk about what's constitutional and what's not, I thought it might be fun to refresh my memory in what it actually says.

"An affordable alternative heavyweight t-shirt for the value conscious consumer. Pre-shrunk and made from 5.5 oz 100% heavyweight cotton. It also has double-needle stitched bottom and hems for extra durability.

This white tee is just a tiny fraction of the many exceptional smiley face items that are ready to be bought from the online Zazzle marketplace. A truly wonderful sample of "smiley face", "america", "usa", and "happy face" tshirts on Zazzle, this basic men's value tshirt was designed by "dougeshirts" and, as you can see, is being worn by the smiley face shirt model "Tyler". This men's standard zazzle value tshirt is a super new item for any guy's clothing rack. Titled as “cartoon american happy face value t-shirt shirt” by the designer dougeshirts, this super cartoon illustration is being displayed in the shop's cartoon category on Zazzle.

This budget-friendly tshirt will look just as cool on you as it looks on Tyler, the model above. Zazzle Seller dougeshirts selected a men's standard zazzle value tee shirt for this smiley face creation, and we think that was an intelligent decision. Made from 100 percent cotton, this Cartoon American Happy Face tshirt will be printed using a high-tech shirt printing process that creates long-lasting images in an unlimited number of colors. One of the most affordable men's tee shirts, the value tee shirt has a loosely-shaped contour and a bright white color that is certainly flattering for any male."

Three Recent Interesting Podcasts

In my regular podcast feeds, I recently listened to two great podcasts from On Being and watched one from TED. I figured I'd share them with you. Let me know what you think.





Being: Reviving Sister Aimee with Anthea Butler and Arlene Sanchez-Walsh - Aimee Semple McPherson, the 20th-century Pentecostal evangelist, has a legacy of being a flamboyant woman in U.S. religious history. Theatrically and controversially, she helped to popularize a charismatic faith that touched millions in her time and reaches an estimated half billion people in ours.
