Sometimes
I have to take issue with the use of that word!

I would suggest these alternatives:

many times
often
frequently
or even, usually!

Thanks for your perspective.

Sorry, the "sometimes" word was a last second lame attempt to soften the blow to be kind and PC, thus the grammar blunder. But I think you captured the essence of the message

In his recent visit to Brazil, Gen. Douglas Fraser (US Southern Command) praised the non-political stance and respect of the constitution of the paraguayan armed forces in the recent impeachment crisis. This is in a very obvious response to Brazil's government's posture on this issue.

http://www.lanacion.com.py/articulo/...araguaya-.html

During the last hours of the impeachment, several UNASUR countries led by Venezuela's foreign secretary blatantly tried to put pressure on the armed forces to reject the outcome of the impeachment, to no avail.

The true face of Brazil's former president Lula Da Silva (and the real power behind actual president Dilma Rousseff):

http://veja.abril.com.br/blog/reinal...es-grosseiras/

In the Sao Paulo forum (a meeting of leftist organizations in south america, including extremist groups) he proclaims, addressing Hugo Chavez in a video in reference to coming venezuelan elections:

“Chávez, count with me; count with us the PT (Partido dos Trabalhadores); count with the solidarity and support of each leftist militant, each democrat and each latin-american. Your victory will be our victory”.
