More on El Dorado -- Ilana Mercer Weighs in

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?
