My friend Dexter Duggan writes for
The Wanderer. He lives in the Southwest so he experiences first-hand the devastation of the illegal invasion along the border and often explores the impact. I always look for Dexter's articles because he is insightful, but always charitable in his criticism of policies that are destroying our national character and threatening our safety.
So I've watched with alarm the attack on Dexter and
The Wanderer by Catholic historian, Professor James Hitchcock, and, frankly, I find it baffling. It isn't anything new though. Chris Manion, another
Wanderer contributor, addressed the issue in 2007, the 140th anniversary year of the paper, after Hitchcock attacked
The Wanderer in the
Human Life Review. Manion, who admired Hitchcock's work, interviewed him and
The Wanderer gave the professor 3,000 words on the front page to express his concerns. What was his response? A year later he went after
The Wanderer again with some specific swipes at Chris Manion. Just goes to show, no good deed goes unpunished.
