Actually the operative word was ...->RESPONDER<br /> Actually the operative word was sycophant, asshole was just gratuitous, free of charge; and if the moniker fits, as it does, you should wear it proudly. Rarely has a word, sycophant, so accurately described someone; in both its common form and in the ancient etymological one. I am not elderly as you presume, I was merely precocious, having been thrust into the role of business owner after graduating from one of our nation's finest universities at the age of 19. My business may be a small one; but I do not have to continuously look behind my back to see if the IRS is following me. Again, though my business is small, the repercussions from its success rebounded throughout SE Hialeah. We drew customers and money into the region, and the surrounding businesses flourished. As our business has suffered through<br />this economic downturn, so has the local economy around us. I had addressed your half truths on your blog, and offered facts that did not paint a positive portrait of Robaina; only to be swarmed by more half truths and other sycophants, perhaps alternate cyber personas you have generated. No one was interested in facts I presented that could not be conveniently swept under the carpet by half-truths; such as illegal promotions of friends to the rank of Commander and then having them retire at a new, outrageous, unearned higher rate of pay; needlessly paying to repaint old police cars (wonder who got that contract) and paying a higher premium for new blue cars than for the standard white ones; illegally firing employees and having to pay overtime rates of pay to cover their absence, and then have to pay their back pay when the law demanded their return. Law suits have been quietly settled, as a stipulation of the payoff to the offended party, and more law suits are pending. That Robaina has been a good businessman, that he has been a prudent mayor of Hialeah, that he has been a good husband, that he has been a good man, that he has acted within the law; none of this can be defended with your half-truths, and you blog site is certainly not an impartial place to discuss these issues. This is why you do not get a response to your postings on your blog.Lickerpoetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1417147991792781706.post-13279611034068026382011-06-26T07:56:02.385-07:002011-06-26T07:56:02.385-07:00Wow, I cannot believe I'm writing this but Ela...Wow, I cannot believe I'm writing this but Elaine you are correct. This is getting old and boring. Lickerpoet, you wrote a long post simply to call me an asshole. You should have just replied so! For some one who claims to have an education (for the record I can almost gurantee you my eduction FAR surpasses yours but in fairness I have never claimed to be a wordsmith or a poet) you surprisingly fail at understanding that words can become archaic and dated (I was referring to your posts in general). You could not even surmise that I wrote you had no standing because you hide behind a name when you attack me for the same position. Lickerpoet, for the last time you are irrelevant to me. I do not pick fights with the elderly on blogs or on the street so truly good luck (I actually mean it) in your small business.<br /><br />Elaine, you keep posting lies and half truths and I will keep countering them. My post was not only on Raul, I specifically countered your facts on Robaina's land holdings and other accusations you've thrown him. Regardless, if I think I need to respond to something new you've written I will simply post a link to a new article on your message boards. Feel free to do the same. This has already taken too much of time.Responderhttp://www.realtruthofmiami.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1417147991792781706.post-25215042475746512482011-06-26T07:07:37.441-07:002011-06-26T07:07:37.441-07:00-> RESPONDER
No one will disagree that y...-> RESPONDER <br /> No one will disagree that you are mad. Your madness grows ever more evident with every post.<br />As for my standing to partake in this political repartee, paying commercial real estate taxes in Hialeah for 47 years affords me more than enough standing. "A dated thesauras", gee, I didn't know that words could grow dated. Rarely there is only one word that exactly describes an event or trait. Perhaps this word is no longer in the common vernacular, but let me accurately define the word I chose, for it is often tersely misdefined as a lackey, or toady, or fawning parasite. All certainly apply to you accurately, but there is a more correct, exact definition for sycophant. The word sycophant has a very interesting origin. "The Greek for sycophant is συκοφάντης (sykophántēs). It suggests someone who brings all kinds of charges and proves none, according to a client of Demosthenes.[2] A client of Lysias adds the perspective of blackmail: "It is their practice to bring charges even against those who have done no wrong. For from these they would gain most profit." [3] In this context, the word entails false accusation, malicious prosecution, and abuse of legal process for mischievous or fraudulent purposes." (Wikipedia) Certainly this word applies to you, for you bring charges against Elaine when she has done no wrong. You claim the sum total of her reporting centers around biased accusations against Robaina, when her earlier posts cover a universe of political points and her editorial views against Robaina have evolved as she learned more about his mis-doings. Sycophant has another interesting origin, being derived from the greek word Sykon. Sykon meant vulva, and a more vulgar form, the "C" word. Ancient greeks did not flip their adversaries the finger, no, they placed their thumb between the two closest fingers, and made the sign of the sykon, the vulva.<br /> No, I have no need for a thesaurus, dated or otherwise. You may have a thesauras, and I probably have one molding away in some corner of a bookshelf; but I have something you don't have. That something is an education. I am a logophile, a lover of words, a wordsmith. For this reason and others, I was selected as the Best Political Poet in South Florida by the readership of the Miami New Times. Sorry you don't enjoy my witticisms, alas, one asshole's opinion (don't need a thesaurus for that, do you?) does not a consensus make. And as for my nom de plume, Lickerpoet, it is not as you describe it. It is a nom de guerre.

You are further suspicious because of your cloak and dagger tone, much ado about nada. If you were open and everything were on the table, your words would carry more weight. Again, refute WHAT facts? I think you go off on tangents that are unimportant. I will look into Raul Martinez when the time comes. (And he knows it. Which is why he doesn't trust me). But that time is not now. This is classic Robaina deflection tactics. And I don't have time for "yes, I did... no you didn't... yes, I did." Let's move on. You obviously don't, but I have better things to do.Ladra, the public watch doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16250480042439409718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1417147991792781706.post-35440812906651700142011-06-25T20:10:30.731-07:002011-06-25T20:10:30.731-07:00I have no hidden agenda.

Because lickerpoet is not known to me that has any bearing on what I am writing? What facts Elaine? See my response to your open letter. I can tell I have become a thorn in the side of your camp by addressing your propaganda. I understand why you may think my reach is small but trust me it is not. Lastly, you have had no issue responding and writing on what I post except to refute the facts I have written.Responderhttp://www.realtruthofmiami.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1417147991792781706.post-48711032010772018112011-06-25T19:58:22.254-07:002011-06-25T19:58:22.254-07:00Responder, I have not addressed facts because you ...Responder, I have not addressed facts because you have not offered any. And the poet is known to me and many friends and if you were half as smart as you profess to be, you would know him, too. Meanwhile, you remain an unknown but admitted Robaina fan, so it is natural for those of us who see the emperor naked to question whether or not your vision is clear enough to see your own hidden agenda. Now, please, what facts? You offer opinions and misinformation that I have very little time for because your reach is small and irrelevant.Ladra, the public watch doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16250480042439409718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1417147991792781706.post-1411818000311881842011-06-25T19:54:12.476-07:002011-06-25T19:54:12.476-07:00Lickerpoet, what an interesting name?

You talk about standing by your words when you use a nom de plume as well. Oh boy, hypocrisy is rife in this campaign. Regardless, my identity has nothing to do with my facts (or lack thereof, if you disagree). Lastly, Elaine certainly addresses everything else I write, except the facts I state. Lickerpoet, stick to focusing on ATTEMPTING to write witty responses, using what appears to be a dated thesaurus, and not engaging in illogical attacks. You and some other people are mad because you do not know who I am, while I am mad because I disagree with your camp's lies and slander (I can honestly care less about who you are).Responderhttp://www.realtruthofmiami.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1417147991792781706.post-39937801785066492362011-06-25T18:20:26.978-07:002011-06-25T18:20:26.978-07:00Responder, if you were brave enough to identify yo...Responder, if you were brave enough to identify yourself, to stand behind your words, not hide behind anonymity, you might get a response.
