We devoted some 3,000 words in last Sunday’s Points section to explaining the “why” behind this most un-PC of choices.

Un-PC of choices? Does this dingbat know what PC means? They made the most perfectly PC of choices.

Un-PC would have been to stick up for actual Americans. Doing that gets you called “nativist” by the DMN and the rest of the MSM.

The DMN is a horrible newspaper. The Ft. Worth Star Telegram is 100 times better (Ft. Worth is next door to us in Dallas for all of you in other states). I buy the Telegram on some Sundays for coupons and the TV guide, but I cancelled my DMN subscription for this type of “progressive” hidden-but-not-hidden liberal crap during the “viva La Raza” rallies a while back.

#23 AJ,

I think you might have found a loop hole. If you think about it, The Dallas Morning News is literally forcing their opinions on the American Public. There is absolutely nothing compassionate about human smuggling-trafficking, that is the beginning and the end of it. I won’t pretend the DMN’S makes any sense on the subject.

• The existing ~~immigration system~~ DMN editorial board is a joke. • It is unconscionable that ~~Congress~~ the DMN management has refused to reform the ~~system~~ editorial board. Just announced: Keven Willey must give up her prime parking space to the new Dallas Morning News Employee of the Year: Hugo Chavez.

“They” can’t see the flaws in their reasoning (oxymoron?) anymore than they
can admit that their way of thinking is so out of line with the “real America.”
The DMN more than likely thought that they were parroting what Texans were
actually thinking. Or, they thought that by doing what they did, they could
bring the rest of us “into line” with the rest of the nation. I’ve got to stop trying to figure out what they meant. My brain is starting to hurt.

It is great to see bear1909 on the warpath again. All I see is major CYA operation by clueless idiots acting surprised for purposely pissing off their customers. It will be fun to watch this and the rest of the printed media go down the drain. Plus it would greatly reduce our carbon foot print by saving so many trees (almost forgot it’s for the children).

“We can’t deport them all”; same tired old argument. States/counties refuse to jail these criminals; it’s a Federal problem. Well, following that stupid logic, I should be able to rob a bank and kidnap someone across state lines, and walk free down the streets. Why not? It’s a Federal problem! How about amnesty for criminals and unsolved crimes? “We can’t jail them all!” It shows the flaws in their reasoning.

Oh wow a chance to offer a second opinion of the DMN Texan of the year selection: move your business to Houston ( I could have said your ugly but did not want to upset your mothers). Aside from that, once you find yourself in a hole, stop digging. And as that great Texan Ron White says you can fix stupid.

Just another part of the MSM.The people from whom most Americans get their news.It is no wonder most of America is clueless about National and Foreign affairs.The media doesn’t even know what to report or how to report it.To say that the paper’s editorial staff didn’t expect this kind of response suggests to me that they are completely out of touch with reality,or it was a ploy to provoke some headlines of their own-to become the news instead of reporting it.In either case the DMN ought to(rightly) lose a lot of readership,and the MSM still haven’t figured out whythe public has turned away from them and to the bloggers for news.Of course they could ask Helen Thomas,she knows/sarc/

Folks are sick of communism. Free health care, jail costs, and anchor babies, are not really free. Tax payers have to cough up the dough for that crap.

The real problem is a clash between Nationalists, and Globalists.

I’m always surprised that people are surprised at the spew coming from the MSM – newspers et.al. Most of the journalists come from universities where liberal spew by teachers and professors is the norm.

There are a few who are not-like the professor at one of the universites in Michigan. He gave a very pro U.S. speech – when I find it I’ll relay it.

Neal Boortz (a Texan and an AGGIE) recently gave a commencemt address that was so truthful that it laid the profeesors and administration low.

In other words – keep your young out of the university programs that are liberal arts based-direct them to business-computer-engineering. (-:
