You even state erroneously that China and the USSR are 'actual Socialist ' countries. They were communist states at the time of Mugabe's ascension to power. Communism is not the same as socialism. Same genesis but different ideologies. You need to study harder Tucker.
Its a simple argument posted by someone who is obviously simple himself. Simple because like many Trumpys they conflate the ideologies of Marxism/Communism with Socialism. Democratic Socialist countries such as Canada, France, Sweden and Denmark etc all have the highest quality of life on the planet. These are surveys carried out that ask the citizenry about their environment and social institutions. Those countries I have stated always are at the top of the rankings. Your argument is a lame attempt at obliquely referencing Republican trickle down economics and small govt. It didn't work for working class Americans under Reagan and it didnt work under that moron who called himself a 'stable genius'.
While I enjoyed reading your article and you obviously know your baseball, you admonished Mr Mitchell for propagating 'fake news' and so now I want to set the 'record straight' with regards to an erroneous statement of yours. Ed Armbrister was a colleague of mine in the PI casino back in the 80's. He was a croupier and never a pit boss.
C2B I think you need a history lesson.The African slaves that went to Latin America were not enslaved by 'people of color'. Brazilians who enslaved those Africans were descendants of the Portuguese colonizers. They were white, not POC. Portugal is a white country. The rest of Latin America the slave owners were primarily of Spanish extraction. That would be Spain in Europe, a white country. So the slaves in Latin America were enslaved by 'white pigs' as well.
'Who had listened to the Rush Limbaugh Show for years, I was naively unaware of the claims that he was a racist' You listened to his show for 'years' and had no idea he was a racist?!?!?! There is a word for you and it isnt 'naive'. It starts with ST and ends with ID.
'the powers that be at that time were determined to engineer my eventual disbarment.' It would appear that those same 'powers' you referenced didn't have to do much to engineer your demise, as your own actions led to that fate. Self-inflicted rather than some conspiracy that you would have us believe.
A well written article although the author dispels any notion of a balanced and objective portrait of Serena, because she is so obviously a fan of hers. Thats fine if you are able to put across a compelling and reasonable argument for her actions and motives. I don't feel that the author does that. Despite that I would concur with her assessment of SW as the GOAT. She is the greatest female tennis player of all time. Even if she doesn't tie Maragret Court's record of 24 Grand Slams. Thats because many of Court's slams were won in the 'closed' era, as opposed to the 'open' era. She also won 11 of her slams at the Australian Open during an era when many of the top women didn't attend the event. For that reason she will never be considered on Serena's level.
I have no idea how Brent Stubbs has continued and maintained his position as a sports journalist with this newspaper. He is chronically inept. The boxer is named Swaby and is Swaby in the article for the first couple of paragraphs. He then for some reason metamorphosed into Sawyer by the end of the article. Does he or anyone ever proof read his work?
