Re: “I never thought the WSJ was a conservative paper.”

Until about 1994, the WSJ Editorial Page was a Conservative masterpiece.

Only National Review was more important, and, believe it not, Commentary Magazine was almost as important as NR.

Around 1994, Paul Gigot and David Brooks were promoted to the editorial staff, and Robert L. Bartley, the legendary Conservative editor, began to give up his day to day supervision.

The WSJ has never been the same since.

WSJ has been “Open Borders” since the 1960’s, when I began reading it.

But that was a completely different time.

Maybe 5% of our population was foreign born.

Now, it's like 15%, plus 3% illegals!

“and Robert L. Bartley, the legendary Conservative editor,”

That cretin? He wanted a Constitutional Amendment that read “There Shall Be Open Borders”

I don’t miss him one bit.
