More Slop

“Yes, Obama is a founder of ISIS, he removed the troops from there.”

A founder is not a person who created the conditions that led to the creation of something by somebody else. If I forget to lock the door and robbers will use that to come in, this won’t make me a robber. If I leave a sheet of paper lying around and somebody writes an award-winning poem on it, that won’t make me a poet. 

As a linguist, I’m almost physically in pain when I observe the spillage of this verbal mush.

    Clinton’s strategy of embracing the ‘good’ republicans is costing down ballot races for democrats. This is such an awesome opportunity to hang Trump around the neck of the republican party, but she’s doing her own thing.

    a sonnet: On Donald’s America
    http://terri-testing.livejournal.com/61034.html

    “masses yearning to breathe free” is from “The New Colossus,” the sonnet about the Statue of Liberty:

    “Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
    With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
    Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
    The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
    Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
    I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
