The Worst President in History?

I do find it extremely interesting, however, that in one of his chef D'Oeuvres about the VP contest he does not spell the name of Quayle"s opponent correctly. He wrote Bentson( instead of the correct Bentsen.

You would think that such a gifted writer would correct his copy( if indeed he really knew how to spell the man's name correctly) before submitting his post.

I love 'em.

They bring joy to my heart.

:wink:

My conclusion about ticomaya's post:
1. no meaning
2. no value
3. poor advise or insult
4. guy needs to learn the common English language

I too would dearly like to see some of Frank's serious writing that isn't disrespectful of the reader. Frank, do you have a thousand words or so, on any topic, that might give us all a better appreciation of your capacity? Can you give us citationf for your published work? I'm not even sure what field you've dedicated your life and career to.

I did have a MY TURN...the full page essay given by NEWSWEEK Magazine to guest columnists. It was published on 2/21/94. Perhaps you can go to the NEWSWEEK archives and read it. It was 1000 words...and they paid me a thousand dollars for it. (They got over a hundred responses from around the country.)

I was a community columnist for The Courier-News...with dozens upon dozens of thousand word op ed columns to my credit there.

The New York Times published an op ed sized letter (one of the longest they've ever published) in their March 4th 1989 edition. You can go to their archives and read it if you want.

One of my favorite coups was just after the Bentson/Quayle debate. NEWSWEEK and TIME got over 800 letters each on that issue. (Oct '88, I think) I sent separate, different comments to both...and my letters were selected for inclusion. Both major weeklies...and both with a huge amount of letters to choose from. I got 'em both. Look it up in the archives of each if you are as interested as you say.

I have had op ed pieces published in newspapers in damn near every major city of this country...and several in newspapers in England.

So you haven't had an entry in "All in a Day's Work" yet? Oh, well ... keep on trying.

I say what I have to say clearly, interestingly, and in a way that causes editors to use my submissions.

Why do I have the impression that the basic theme running through all of your writing is, "____ is a moron. The conservatives have been on the wrong side of every great issue this country has ever faced"? ... written succinctly and interestingly, of course.

Actually...no that is not the basic theme of my writing at all.

But the fact is that American conservatives have been on the wrong side of every great issue this country has ever faced.

It also is true that without the numbers provided by the racist scum of our country...and the supposed Christians who are hypocritically willing to get into bed with a philosophy that runs contrary to just about every teaching of Jesus...

...it would be a minor blip on the American body politic.

American conservatism is a joke...a particularly dirty, cruel joke...but a joke nonetheless.

mm wrote (again another stupid statement):
Yet you denigrate others and call them stupid.
If you were so smart,you would have done better in high school and maybe gone on to college.

I think you need to remember that you "barely graduated" the next time you attack someone with a better education then you.

I did graduate from college with a major in Accounting - in the top 25 percent of my graduating class. I worked in management except for the first 3.5 years I worked as a traveling auditor for Florsheim Shoe Company. They promoted me to Audit Manager, and from then on, I've worked in management for a handful of companies, and also did consulting work.

I think his point is that perhaps you should remove the plank out of your own eye.

There's that plank again.

1"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

3"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.

6"Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces.

ticomaya, I don't read the bible, and I'm an atheist. Anything the bible says is fiction, so is that the best you can do?

How well written- not close to genius but well written.

Howver, I must reluctantly state that I don't believe a word of it.

It was written by a noted writer named Frank A Pisa who is widely published but I still don't believe a single word of it is true.

Now, if Mr.Apisa would provide some EVIDENCE OR DOCUMENTATION which would support his thesis, I would eagerly examine it. But, I must regretfully state that even though Mr. Apisa is a well know writer who has been published in some of the finest venues in the USA, I don't believe a word of it.

One of the reasons I don't believe a word of it( not the only one of course) is that if Mr. Frank Apisa was correct in his assertion that american conservatives have been on the wrong side of every great issue this country has faced, that would mean that the American voter( who voted for Bush in 2000, Republicans in 2002 and Bush in 2004 are just sheep who are easily fooled.

I don't believe that and I have never found evidence to lead me to believe such a thing is true>
