It strikes me that a fair bit of what you quoted was designed to appeal to people's emotions and ideals
Actually a call to action is ethos, and an appeal to emotion is pathos. If you are going to attack debate form you should know debate form.

On that subject, if you are denying ethos and pathos, that leaves logos the appeal to reason. So, if you want to use that approach, it would behoove you to cut down on the typo's, because it is diffult to accept logos from someone that appears to be unfamilular with writing.
