Got a letter to the editor pulished today(12/11/14) in the NY Post about R.I.P.Where is what appeared in the paper:"Badillo proved a man from humble beginnings could cast a giant shadow touching all of us in a positive way.
He was the Horatio Alger of his day and a man of strength and courage- a rare commodity on the political battlefield.
He showed a love of the city,a belief in one's self and that through hard work and intelligence much could be accomplished for common good.
Badillo was seen by fools as a Latino radical.As time went on ,Badillo saw the wastefulness and stupidity of left-wing conformists who were dragging the city down.He became a Republican,and supercilious snobs who dominate so much of our culture gave him the back of their hands.
He was a true giant who rose above petty parochial politics of the day."
