And notice your constant need to pose false premises. There never was a question that I was going anywhere, except in your hopeful head.
Too bad for you, you're wrong again. It clearly matters a great deal to you. (Yes, now you'll give the predictable denial of what is obvious from the tone and content of what you've said)
How tacky of you. Are you going to demand he pay you back?
Is that the best you could come up with? I would think you would be concerned that he fell for my "obvious to ploy" to run him out of here starting way back when.
I don't think you had a "ploy" to drive him away. But I do think you are deliberately blind about the reasons he left.
And I think bringing up a bad time in his past to try to prove your own generosity is just plain tacky.
I supported Mike , not because I am generous, not because I wanted to feel cool to support a black man- but because I believed in him as a person- not a black person- but an American conservative person. So if I am going to get smeared all over the place for my statements, and no one else is going to mention what I have done- I will do it myself to prove a point that this is all taken out context.
Mike knows about the messages and support that I have given him and he knows that I have encouraged others to encourage him and I know that.
You claimed I was trying to run him off- I proved you wrong-so You can think whatever you want to think- but Mike knows differently.

LOL..."even if they are black." That's funny!
If you had been as supportive of Mike as you say you were, then surely you can understand why he felt the need to leave.
Can you see the similarities at all between Mike and Rod's rections to "all thugs are black therefore all blacks are thugs" and your reaction to "freepers are racist"?
You cannot label all for the acts of a few in one case, then cry foul when you think you are labeled.
I agree. I am so sick of being called a racsist because I had the gall to call looting wrong.
My point exactly.
I never said that all thugs were black- I do refer to thugs from the ghetto and the FACT is that the vast majority of those thugs are black. But I don't like white thugs either- did I forget to mention that???
Yet I have been called all sorts of things by his friends and an especially fond name they have is racist and a bigot.
I think there is a good reason for people to be confused over here about why this whole thing was started if someone was just going to go to another site so those people could call really nasty names of people posting on this thread... is it do as I say- or do as I do- oh shoot! I can't keep track anymore.
Here is what I tell everyone- just ignore it. Who cares if a drama queen calls you a racist anyway? ;]
Do you think a town should have the right to shut down access to a US highway that's an evacuation route BEFORE THE STORM?
I have an idea!
Next time the good sheriff can compromise, let in the looters on crutches or in wheelchairs and strollers. His deputies should be able to escort them to the town limits where they can be given a good, charitable kick in the but.

Officials in Louisiana have said in press reports that they did all they could to help evacuations in New Orleans but received little help from the federal government or local communities in the area. Stories from evacuees saying they were turned away at gunpoint when they tried to enter other counties may add credibility to the claims of Louisiana officials.
In interviews broadcast Monday night on CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360" and "News night With Aaron Brown," evacuees told to flee New Orleans said that they walked across a bridge for almost two hours to the suburban city of Gretna only to be turned around at gunpoint. "We got to the top of the bridge. They stopped us with guns," said Tim Sheer, an evacuee speaking on "News night With Aaron Brown." "...and we didn't think anything when we saw the deputies there. Then all of a sudden we heard shooting."
Sheer said on the program that at least two hundred people were turned away and that many of them were elderly and injured. "We had people in wheel chairs, we had people in strollers, people on crutches, so we were a slow moving group."
Gretna's police chief denied that evacuees were shot at and said that the reason they were turned away was because his city was no more prepared to house the evacuees than New Orleans. He promised a full investigation into the incident, press reports said.
Meanwhile, missions to recover the bodies of those unable to escape the hurricane continued yesterday. As of late last night, officials reported that the death toll in New Orleans was 423. That number is expected to rise in the coming days, according to press reports.
That was standard operating procedure. Once Gretna was evacuated, the bridges were to be shut down because they would be unsafe for travel durring a hurricane. Then after the hurricane were to be closed to foot traffic until they could be inspected to see if they could hold thousands of people stampeding across them.
Who started it?
I have another idea.
I know these inter-forum things are frustrating, but why not go over there and discuss it with him. I’ve done that on several forums, including at least one at CP, which cleared up a misunderstanding. Things might work out fine, or they might not.
Is the Police chief being brought up on any charges?
What is CP?
I have no idea. Immorality and illegality are not the same things.
