You are correct. It is simply outrageous and on the verge of bigoted not to blame the people who are actually responsible for this dangerous and sick man who is our President – the tragic malicious loons who voted for him. Twice it must always be added. Twice.

That is NO ONE ELSE’s fault. That is no one else’s responsibility. No one held a gun to anyone’s head and made them do it. They did it. They knew it and they did it.

Why? Why do people tempt fate? Why do people look at car wrecks and football injuries. Why do some people commit suicide? Some people do. And they are all responsible for their own actions. Anyone who says otherwise is also pretending – that they are children and not adults.

We will never recover until and unless we admit the horrible truth – the worst people that ever lived in America, ever, are 60 m of our friends and neighbors who voted for a neo-Hitler to abuse and enslave the rest of us. They wanted to do it and they did it.

They think it will profit them. They think they’ll get more “stuff”.

That is the bet they made.

Karma will decide the case I am sure.

Actually, I’m very careful—you should see the grammar mistakes I do look up and correct. They are legion.

And actually (although you may not believe this) I suspected that “passive voice” might not be quite right. I wasn’t sure. But I was in enough of a hurry that I didn’t bother to look it up. One thing about blogging—you’re usually in a race for time.

What I meant to refer to, of course, was (and again, I don’t have time to find the proper term, but perhaps you could help me out 🙂 ), the lack of a human agent.

Preferably yours, but I’m not likely to know the difference either way.

If that’s too much effort, you may, at your option, substitute an apple-themed sweater.

Very respectfully yours,

I admire the meticulousness with which you research the topics you write about. It pains me to see that aren’t so scrupulous about your writing itself.

Here is a helpful hint: as you type or while you edit, keep an eye out for words, phrases, terms, idioms, etc. whose definitions you aren’t absolutely confident about.

The goat-getter in this case is a double bogey for me as it is a grammar term:

“it raises inevitable questions.” Passive voice.

This is not a passive construction. You’ve got a transitive verb and a direct object. It is active.

You’d make it passive thus:

“inevitable questions are raised.”

What was once the direct object is now the subject and the verb is an intransitive one. There is no longer a direct object. It is now passive.

Protip: You don’t actually need to care about the verb classification as long as you can recognize a direct object.

Ace made this same mistake some years back, but I expect that sort of sloppiness from him. Part of the charm.

Case study: the first term that came to my mind was “double bogey” but I knew I’d better look the term up to see if it would make an appropriate metaphor. Rather than replace it, I have left it in there to illustrate how the process works.

In conclusion,

“Trust but verify [your writing]”

Or vice versa.

Why would he? That is like asking a coach whose team has just won the super bowl with a wider margin than any team in history for the fourth time if he was going to change anything. Obama has been spectacularly successful in accomplishing what he set out to do from day one. Once the election is over the Democrats will all unite to sing about the Messiah once more.

What is find more and more astounding than the Crybaby-in-Chief is…still…the people who voted for him. Twice. They are as scary a bunch of Nazis as there has ever been.

They are the worst Americans there have ever been. Ever. Not even close. The worst, and the worst possible.

After them, because of them, no America.
