This is a very clever, quite sublime short dissertation on conservative principles that was part of a spiel spoken by actor Jack Webb in the old TV series Dragnet. It's a minute and a half of Webb (Joe Friday) and his partner Harry Morgan trying to show a young liberal activist why his desire to tear down America was wrong.

Added to the mix in this video are shots of President Obama sitting quietly, appearing to listen intently to what Webb is saying.



Just the facts, Barak. Just the facts.
