The Dallas Morning News turns left
I thought the
Dallas Morning News was supposed to be a conservative paper. Well, it just
endorsed Mike Huckabee for the GOP nomination. Apart from the startling badness of the choice, especially from a conservative point of view, the reasoning used in the editorial exhibits a kind of mindlessness.
But that’s only the start. I’m sorry to pass on such repellent news, but the News has selected, as its “Texan of the Year,” The Illegal Alien. That’s right. The article won’t be up until tomorrow, but there are two blog discussions about it (here and here) and most readers are furious, not that it will do them any good. But making decent Americans sputter in helpless fury is what liberalism is all about, isn’t it?

I disagree. Next to Americans watching Mexicans strut through our streets waving Mexican flags and signs that declare, “This is our land now!”, I can’t think of a more favorable—more emblematic—development. In the current climate of this nation, having a representative of the obsolete, hopelessly out-of-touch dinosaur that is the mainstream daily newspaper declare to its vanishing readership that illegal Mexican aliens are “Texan of the Year” is PERFECT! These are priceless moments. More, please!
I suggest a front page photo to accompany this glorious announcement: A grizzled, Spencer Tracy-lookalike of an editor wearing a green eyeshade, his hands stained with old-time printer’s ink, posing in front of a 1908 linotype machine arm-and-arm with a grinning pregnant mestiza displaying a phony Texas driver’s license. Caption: “Cutting-Edge Opinion from the Forefront of Contemporary Thought”
In a year or so, The Dallas Morning News will nominate as “Texan Of The Year” the last person in the state who still actually *reads* The Dallas Morning News.
