If you're just starting out on these, be patient, as you'll be proficient in no time.

Solving the puzzle under 8 minutes is good, under 6 very good, under 4 excellent and under two "you're a pro!"

Those of you looking for an added challenge can try to solve one sentence at a time, i.e. solve the entire first line, then go to the second line etc.

If you need a little help you can copy the cryptogram and paste it to Hal’s Helper below:

It’s easier to work on the puzzle without having to use your pencil.

Great quote. One to live by and hope by. This is why the Left will eventually lose.

The last two days stumped me for too long. Todays came together quickly. New confidence. :)

Got it in about 15 minutes.

Hint: Getting the second word (using the seventh word) will get you the name.

For some reason I could not get this one for the longest time but something clicked and I finally got it.

Good one and as has been said the left needs to think about this quote and look into themselves and be honest and maybe there will be hope for them.

Under one minute. There are very few three letter words that follow a coma.
