This is my Letter To The Editor after reading an Op-Ed in Midland Reporter Telegram in which an editor criticized Midland County Sheriff Gary Painter after the Sheriff stated that he would not allow his deputies to enforce any federal gun control laws that might someday be enacted, if such laws violated the United States Constitution. The MRT was right on top of this one, and tried to put Mr. Painter in his place. But the Paper found itself at odds with its readers. Too bad, subscription rates are on the decrease anyway.
My letter:
Dear Editor,
The Sheriff has every right and has the DUTY not to enforce any law that is patently unconstitutional. And, as usual, you Editors are attacking a local leader for standing against President Obama, the most unpatriotic and most law-breaking president we have ever had. Our President has taken it upon himself to decide when and where to murder American citizens via drone attack without allowing those citizens to avail themselves of their rights to due process. Sheriff Painter is correctly asserting that he will not allow his officers to enforce a law that on its very face would violate the Second Amendment as well as Fourth and Eighth Amendments. In fact, if local peace officers acted on the hypothetical gun confiscation law, they themselves would be arrested for violating the above Amendments.
Your hypocrisy shouts out loudly, dear Editor. You are upbraiding the Sheriff for his stance on a law that has not been enacted while you remain so very LOUDLY MUTE on the President's ...er...selective FEDERAL law enforcement, and that of laws that ARE ON THE BOOKS.
On another issue, the MRT has been DEAFENLY SILENT as well, that being the President's God-like decision that he, or any president, has the right to decide when and where he will murder American citizens via the use of aerial drones. And this IS NOT HYPOTHETICAL. At least two American citizens have been killed by drones ON THE ORDER OF THE PRESIDENT, but the MRT chose to be SELECTIVE in its news coverage on this story. I might add here, Mr. Obama's actions are certainly impeachable. President Nixon only ordered an illegal burglary operation and chose to resign in front of the impeachment and removal that was headed his way.
I am curious why the MRT has SELECTED to denigrate Sheriff Painter by giving him his own special de-endorsement editorial but has been so MUTE on President Obama's selective Federal law enforcement (immigration, justice, border security, and the list could go on) and his criminal killing of two American citizens by Drone Attack. I suppose the MRT must shed light on the "important issues" like Sheriff Painter standing up for the United States Constitution. OMG...What was the Sheriff THINKING!
