Let’s play a riddle game, guessing which editor, carelessly or deliberately, played the donkey.
Three of the suburban newspapers that come into our town — the Long Beach Press-Telegram, the Daily Breeze, the Daily News — are, sadly, commonly owned. This means the news content, front to back, is virtually identical.
However, their editorial pages supposedly are independent. Now the riddle starts:
Mr. Archbold is editor of the P-T.
Ms. Garcia is editor of the Daily News.
Ms. Sciacqua is editor of the Breeze.
With those few clues, tell me which newspaper this morning tugged on its cute little cheerleading skirt, grabbed a megaphone and, in an ever so slight Hispanic accent, hooted jubilantly for yesterday’s ludicrous 13 to 1 call by the L.A. City Council to boycott Arizona over its new anti-illegal immigrant law.
Who wins this afternoon’s I Love Being a Muddled Thinker award?
Yes, the reliable Ms. Garcia, foolishly standing up for her people, Hispanic criminals. And the editor of the editorial page, the redoubtable Ms. Garza, presumably is the author of the editorial, “Sensible Sanction,” that horribly distorts the Arizona law. It could have come out of headquarters, moveon.org.
Girls, you should not have left cheerleading and leave the worries about “racial profiling” to serious people.
Many of us are deathly loyal to our culture and our fellow religious believers. I have defended Jews down to the whisper of a breath. But not Jewish criminals.
Tortured Reasoning
This is becoming tiring.
Like ugly weeds in a beautifully manicured lawn, the silly Ms. Garcia and Ms. Garza are among thousands of influential Hispanics rising out of the ground to proclaim that Hispanic illegals have a right to be here because, well, because they want to be.
Yesterday’s bimbo ringleaders in downtown Los Angeles were Councilman Eddie Reyes and Mayor I Love Me, Antonio Villaraigosa.
Today, it is Garcia and Garza.
Even a liberal could detect a pattern here.
A day ago, the extremely uneven syndicated commentator Ruben Navarette, who reliably supports his people when they are wrong, played true to form. He wrote an essay in defense of an Hispanic administrator who punished students in Morgan Hill, in northern California, for tainting Cinco de Mayo by wearing American colors to school.
This iron rigidity, nearly uniformly, is the kind of cement-styled thinking dominant among Mexican and Hispanic leadership.
Is it a surprise that Hispanic students are bottom-feeders in schools across America, fighting with blacks for the lowest grades?
Tragically, no inspiring leadership is in sight.
