Irving is brimming with upwardly mobile immigrants from all over the world. Beth Van Duyne is not representative of the population of Irving any more than Donald Trump is typical of Dallas. Insane America beauty pageant, only pretty short on the beauty part if you ask me. Look, as we ought to be able to see by now, the whole Tea Party thing is one big national Mr. Then she went on the loony-tunes circuit around the country speaking to Tea Party groups and getting fanatical rave reviews from them for sticking up for Christ. The mayor, Van Duyne, who is a local version of Trump, invented this entire scenario out of the blue, out of her head, out of her wherever, in which old white people in Irving would be forced to bow down before an Imam and forsake Jesus. What was that I said a second ago about the mayor of Irving campaigning to prevent Shariah law from being imposed on the citizens of Irving? Is somebody trying to do that? Kill! Which makes it all the more galling to see those tens of thousands of insanely grinning white people in the Trump crowd here waving their placards with “Trump in Dallas” in the crawl at the bottom of the screen. Now try to imagine a really sharp-stick-in-the-eye deliberately offensive Republican presidential candidate who would galvanize Latino voters to get to the polls to vote against him. Of the over-18 voting age population, 33 percent are Hispanic. Think about Trump for a half second.Īlmost 40 percent of Dallas County’s population is Hispanic. And Romney was a reasonable centrist, not a racial stick-poker. Last time around, we voted for him by 57.11 percent against Mitt Romney’s 41.66 percent. But for our own sake, we need to keep our heads on straight about a few things.ĭallas County is solid Barack Obama country. They have their own image of the place, and there’s not much we can do about it. Sometimes it’s kind of hard just to hold on to our hats. Second time was for the handcuffed arrest of a ninth-grade student named Ahmed who made his own circuit-board clock, which a teacher thought was a bomb because his first name was Ahmed, this in the inner ring suburb of Irving where Mayor Beth Van Duyne has been campaigning against the imposition of Shariah law on Christian residents. First time was for the local visit of Donald Trump, champion of all angry white people everywhere on Earth, living, dead and unborn.
Let’s hope our immune system can take it.
