Leaps Of Idiocy
This is the stupidest thing I’ve seen in print for a while, and that’s saying a great deal:
Not only was the driver of a Ford Bronco that fatally struck a 12-year-old girl unlicensed, but San Jose police say she is also an illegal immigrant, renewing the debate over whether undocumented people should be allowed to apply for driver’s licenses.
So what does killing a child with a vehicle have to do with giving illegal immigrants drivers licenses? To any rational human being, not a damn thing. And indeed, read through the whole thing, and nowhere is offered any connection between the two. So the implication must be that if she’d had a license, she wouldn’t have killed the child. Nonsense, yes, but no more nonsensical than the idea that gun control would prevent gun crime (hint: criminals, by definition, don’t obey the law, and that includes gun control laws).
But these aren’t rational human beings: They’re California liberals. And just as they’ll happily dance in the blood of the latest shooting spree to scream for gun control, they dance in this child’s blood to give illegals licenses. How sensitive of them! They’re so much more civilized than we rubes in flyover country! They’re ahead of the curve!
Journalism School is apparently the new Education School, to judge by the idiot who wrote this story. That paragraph would be marked up in red with question marks in the margin by any writing instructor — except in California. Only there would it represent a coherent flow from one idea to another.
Idiots.
Thanks to Hube, who heaps plenty of well-deserved scorn on those oh so sensitive California liberals, for the link.
