The Unbelievable Furor Over a Dora the Explorer Caricature
Strike that. For a mind to be inquiring or anything else, it has to exist, and from the sheer blather emanating from liberal precincts on the web over the image shown here, the question of whether the authors have minds is by no means resolved.
The image causing such an uproar is a send-up of the heroine of a much beloved children’s television program. (For the record, the answer to the rhetorical question being tendered as a headline—Is Dora the Explorer an illegal immigrant?—is no. She’s a fictional character.)
The police mugshot of Dora, which is supposed to give insomnia to the 80% of Americans in favor of the Arizona immigration law, wasn’t even developed by opponents of the law, not that that really matters. The original purpose of the cartoon, created by one Debbie Groben of Sarasota, Florida, was an entry to a contest on the fake news site FreakingNews.com.
Why this image is viewed as shocking by liberals is as mystifying as the belief that it will shock conservatives as well, somehow leading us to “our senses” over our xenophobia toward illegal aliens.
It became clear some time ago that liberals are fresh out of ideas. That is why they were willing to get behind someone like Barack Obama, who was as untested as he was unvetted by the mainstream media. Experience has taught anyone with a cerebrum that Obama is far out his depth in his current job. Some liberals seem to be waking up to that disturbing reality.
But not all of them. Inquiring minds want to know what, if anything, the others think.
