Paul Burka doesn’t speak for Texans

In a long narrative regarding the Wednesday speeches at the Republican National Convention in St Paul, BurkaBlog -- Texas Monthly’s Paul Burka -- revealed again his liberal elitism in some of his critique of Gov. Sara Palin’s speech.

“One thing Palin did not mention was her views on social issues, some of which are way out there, like her support of creationism. In fact, the whole evening seemed designed to avoid any discussion of wedge issues that were so central to Bush’s presidential races.”

“Way out there?” Really, Paul?

Paul should know Texans better than that. But you live a liberally-sheltered life in Austin, away from the small towns and the churches.

The Texas Republican Party Platform supports teaching the strengths and weaknesses of scientific theory, including intelligent design (i.e. creationism)

Paul Burka regurgitates the rhetoric of the Left. We can imagine he doesn’t share the “way out there” view that life begins at inception.

Does Burka even believe there is a God? For the record, most Texans do. We added it to our Texas Pledge of Allegiance. But we are just commoners to you. We are folks who believe in God and country and Texas values.

Perhaps it is Paul Burka who is “way out there.”
