Ilana Mercer weighs in trenchantly and apologetically on the State of Texas's 'confiscation' of over 400 children from their families on the flimsiest of pretexts!
She not only skewers the responsible Texas authorities, she also scores "conservatives" who have bought into this cute little "state-as-parent" policy.
Question for Governor Rick Perry: Are you a man? Do you have a spine? Why are you basically out of sight during this fiasco. You have proven yourself unable to hold public office ever again.

NOW CPS Admits Snatched Children Will Suffer
A day late and a dollar short, the loathesome Texas CPS -- after having snatched over 400 children from their parents (and from homes where there was no TV, no Internet, and no rock music) on the flimsiest of pretexts -- NOW admits that placing these children in foster care may cause great stress on the children.
What morons we have here in Texas running our CPS! Some heads need to roll over this El Dorado fiasco.
Indeed, AP writer MICHELLE ROBERTS lets slip that authorities believe that the refugee El Dorado children may well be academically AHEAD of their non-FLDS peers. (So, WHY were the kidnapped?)
Notably absent from the media spotlight: Governor Rick Perry, who flatters himself as being a potential Republican VP hopeful.
If McCain has ANY brains, he will NEVER pick Perry.
In fact, after El Dorado's dust settles, I suspect that Perry will be finished politically.
Related Update: The ACLU is expressing interest in these FLDS children's welfare. Hmmm. What to think? Where is the ALCJ on this?

Michael Savage, Vox Day, and Dr. Rusty Shackleford Get It.....Does Anyone Else? (El Dorado FLDS Fiasco)
Michael Savage has for days railed against the Texas CPS, DPS, Texas Rangers, Midland County trampling of the Constitutional rights of the FLDS residents of the Yearning for Zion Ranch in El Dorado, Texas.
Dr. Rusty Shackleford of The Java Report was out in front on this one.
Now Vox Day has weighed in tellingly.
Not many other folks have even winked an eyebrow. For instance, lgf's legendary (and generally right-on-target) Charles Johnson -- despite a private email from me -- has completely frozen out this story, this, despite his uncanny ability to sniff out even the slightest whiff of Fascism across the pond.
Michelle Malkin.... not much.
Fox News: They have been rabidly pushing the "sex" side of the story (as Michael Savage has noted), rather than any sense of
Even the normally fiery Joseph Farah of WND fame has been rather tardy and somewhat less vocal than is his wont in his denunciation of the El Dorado "kid grab" farce -- but at LEAST he DID speak out.
Sean Hannity? Rush Limbaugh? As far as I can tell: Crickets on the trampling of the El Dorado FLDS folks' Constitutional rights.
The question is: Where are the vaunted media watchdogs for our Constitutional rights on this? Well they are parroting allegations and innuendo emanating from the Texas CPS, for one thing.
The Associated Press (Michael Savage, with reason, refers to them as the "Associated Pukes") sneers that the first day of hearings for child custody for the over 400 snatched children "descended into farce." (Translation: The children actually had legal counsel on hand to speak up for them. It was not the FLDS families' idea to bring 400-plus families to court at once!)
We are also treated with the information that this case will "test" the Texas Civil Justice System. (As if it is not already testing families whose children have been taken from them by the State of Texas under the flimsiest of pretexts!)
Michael Savage rightly likens the Texas State judge's decision to disperse the children to giving away cattle.
More to the point: Where are our elected and appointed public officials (each one of them sworn to uphold the Texas and or US Constitution) on this civil rights disaster? Governor Perry? Our Texas State legislators? The judge in the case is an absolute disgrace!
And where is the vaunted ACLU? Oh, that's right, the FLDS are not Muslims.
