As a retired editor, let me say it clear — this dude can’t write.
For example, he starts one paragraph: “In closing ...” Then he rambles on for another 13 — count ‘em — 13 paragraphs. Long paragraphs too.
I’d be forced to pass him on grammar and syntax, but be delighted to flunk him on style. After all, you can’t inform, persuade, or even amuse, if you ramble on ... and on ... and on.
You read enough amateur copy over 25 years and you can tell at a glance those writers who are in love with their own prose. And this character is absolutely hugging himself.
Well stated.
Thank you. I will probably rework it a bit, yet. We have to win this!!
I’ve never heard of the author, so I went searching.
Born in Cuba.
I found an article from 2008 where he was warning us that we were on the verge of electing the first communist president — and he was basing this on polls.
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
Maybe not
But the fat lady and her somewhat slimmer body double(s) seem entirely too complacent having almost stopped campaigning and even dropped her african medical handler and the love of her life, huma from her side
Watching Paul Ryan and the gop elites fold like cheap suits, I sense a great disturbance in the force, as if they know millions of voices crying out are simply going to be silenced
He figured out that Obama is a Communist from polls?
He was basing the electing of Zero on polls.
PLEASE tell me what do you make of this???
U.N.’s “NEW URBAN AGENDA” was set to be adopted by the world body this month. Why is media NOT discussing?
This came to me on Facebook:
Obama Has Begun The UN Takeover Of Every Major American City!
One of the things that I think Americans should take a lot of pride in is the way that we self govern. Or at least the way that we are supposed to self govern. Like most things, Barack Obama wants to in the waning months of his tenure as president sell the United States lock, stock and barrel to outside interests.
A seemingly innocuous PLAN FROM UNITED NATIONS about ideal cities is set to go into effect in October, and IT’S TENETS, if implemented, could mean COMPLETE GOVERNMENT AND GLOBALIST CONTROL OF AMERICAN CITIES.
According to the New American, the U.N.’s “NEW URBAN AGENDA” was set to be adopted by the world body this month. While it looked like a set of recommendations on its face, what it recommended should frighten every American.
A quick scan of the document revealed that it was, at its heart, profoundly redistributionist and called for government control of almost every aspect of urban life.
According to the document, the United Nations ought to ensure that cities “fulfill their social function, including the social and ecological function of land, with a view to progressively achieve the full realization of the right to adequate housing, as a component of the right to an adequate standard of living, without discrimination, universal access to safe and affordable drinking water and sanitation, as well as equal access for all to public goods and quality services in areas such as food security and nutrition, health, education, infrastructure, mobility and transportation, energy, air quality, and livelihoods.”

While the document didn’t define specifically what an “adequate standard of living” or “equal access for all to public goods” represented, it was pretty straightforward about the fact that it planned to use redistribution to achieve these goals.
“We will support the development of vertical and horizontal models of distribution of financial resources to decrease inequalities across sub-national territories, within urban centers, and between urban and rural areas,” the document read.
Most of the document was cloaked in this sort of thinly veiled language which sounds good until you think about how it could be applied. Take, for instance, the document’s talk about the “informal economy.” You may be wondering what the informal economy is. Simply put, it’s the economy that exists outside of extensive government regulation or oversight.
And what do the framers of this document think of the informal economy? Not too much, apparently: cities should leverage “urbanization for structural transformation, high productivity, value added activities, and resource efficiency, harnessing local economies, taking note of the contribution of the informal economy while supporting a sustainable transition to the formal economy,” it read.
Let me translate that into human speak for you: Cities should leverage and “harness” the advances and high productivity to drive redistribution and liberal policies, then they should “transition” it to the “formal” (read: planned) economy.
Thanks for the economic advancement, entrepreneurs! We’ll take it from here — along with your money! Oh, but we will “take note of the contribution” you made when we’re taking that money

I’ll crawl over a mile of surrender monkeys to vote for Trump,if I have to.
I won’t let my country die without at least voting to save it
Good one!
I agree with only one point. The strange obsession with certain polls and ignoring others.
