Good post Steve. What is the inference about long sentences? Do people talk that way because they are hiding things? I've had my sentence lengths cut down radically by working in Engineering. It does seem to be compatible with long winding sentences. But you are right. Obama has been eyeing this prez. run for a while, probably agitated along by the likes of Soros. So he must have known that writing things would get out into the open. Most probably he was also coached on this subject the insiders such as Soros.

Steve, please replace the first post of mine with the following. Sorry about the grammar, I was being negligent.

"Good post Steve. What is the inference about long sentences? Do people talk that way because they are hiding things? I've had my sentence lengths cut down radically by working in Engineering.

Steve, face it, you're just rationalizing your primeval fear of the black supermale. Obama is an Othello for our times: http://www.spectator.co.uk/the-magazine/features/514311/obama-is-an-othello-for-our-times.thtml

Frankly, one should strive not to score "highly" on those tests, as bad writing and complexity often go hand in hand. Good writing is clear, crisp, avoids latinisms, and the like. I'm sure some impenetrable sociology textbook is a lot higher on the skill than my writing (or yours, Steve) but that's not something any sane person would strive for.

I have to say that in the Spectator article the following takes the cake:

"Yet the moment there is any discussion of the black man having substance and intellectual prowess in combination with his physicality, the white man quickly becomes overawed — not to say redundant.

He can only stand back and watch while a new super-male emerges complete with go-faster stars, stripes, 50 states — and a gaggle of blondes if he wishes."

What else can be said after a quote like that?

The right has been quiet on evil witch Hilary and her husband's financial dealings. Bill's pardons to Puerto Rican terrorists and tax evaders ought to make Americans concerned with the implications of hilary rule.

Geraghty at the Corner has also been commenting on the Book. Good job Steve once again getting there first.

I always assumed that the reason people thought whopping cough was practically extinct was because we have a vaccine against it.

One can say that the Speccy is staffed by swishy public school old boys who fantacize about Obama and his wife spanking them.

That's something else.

Hugh Hewitt, on his radio show, was also patting himself on the back for actually reading this book within the last couple weeks, and acting as if he was sounding the alarm on this undiscovered damning evidence (though, being the sunny-voiced coward terrified of being called a racist that Hewitt is, he stayed carefully away from the radical racial stuff and attacked Obama for his economic ideas). It's both hilarious and maddening the way these people predictably come to issues that Steve hits much earlier, and then when they do come around, it's always in such a less insightful manner.

Came across this line from Nietzsche's "Beyond Good and Evil" and thought it was relevant.

"In an age of disintegration that mixes races indiscriminately, human beings have in their bodies the heritage of mulitple origins, that is, opposite, and often not merely opposite, drives and value standards that fight each other and rarely permit each other any rest."

Nietzsche also said that the sign of a healthy society is that it can take criticism. But Obama is demanding Blind Obedience to his authority BASED on Race WHILE denying that it's a factor! And he's not even in the White House yet!

Anyway, why is it one has to find something to the point, relevant and profound, about life today in a book written over a hundred and twenty years ago?

Well, Political Correctness, of course. Which, as we all know, was designed specifically to protect people like Obama and his wife from unpleasant realities, by people who were convinced that the likes of Obama, etc. were as psyhologically weak as their Benefactors.

In the same book Nietzsche says that "There is a point in the history of society when it becomes so patholgically solf and tender that it sides even with those who harm it....this is called "progress.""

So folks, if ya wanna a step out from under the dark cloud of modern day politics and into the bright light of reality, for goodness sake don't listen to the MSM, read Nietzsche. Or anything well written from the 19th Century, which, apparently, was when they stopped telling the truth.

Mencken told the truth until they shut him down in World War 2. HERE is his brilliant and short Notes on Democracy (pdf). Of particular interest to HBD'ers, politically, is the section entitled "Varieties of Homo Sapiens" starting on page 13 of the pdf (page 9 of the print edition reproduced).
