I was just saying, Dallas was anathema for decades, now they're the liberal darlings.

24th MEU helps 64 Americans evacuate Lebanon

http://www.estripes.com/article.asp?section=104&article=38696


Marines from the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit evacuated 43 Americans from Lebanon on Monday as part of ongoing evacuation efforts, officials said.

Currently, there are three CH-53 Super-Stallion helicopters in Cyprus ferrying U.S. citizens out of Lebanon with more such helicopters expected to arrive Tuesday, said Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman.

Additionally, the Navy is sending the destroyer USS Gonzalez to escort a Greek commercial ship contracted to ferry U.S. citizens from Lebanon to Cyprus, Whitman said.

The Greek ship is capable of transporting 750 passengers at one time, and will be available for evacuation efforts starting Tuesday, he said.

Oh, I see, you mean nationwide. I always liked Dallas and most people I knew spoke highly of it - but for many years, it was very uptight, old-money ultra-right - like me, except for the up-tight and old-money part.

It was more because of the TV show that people east of the Hudson and west of the Rockies thought "Texas" and "Dallas" were the same word.

"Dallas is now the Darling of Liberals". (Paraphrase)
Dallas, once the Conservative stronghold of Texas, has had a Major demographic change and "minorities" are now the majority. The Conservatives have been ethnically cleansed and are now dispersed into surrounding communities.
