PS: Anyone notice that of the 5 people that have posted to me in this thread, only one (CP) had any positive purpose. Some were just plain mean.
Anyone notice that other than defending myself against those attacks I've been trying to discuss the topic?
So - is it a delusion after all?Last edited by oxmixmudd; 08-08-2019, 01:20 PM.My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

Further, your idea of 'defense' appears to be 'the best defense is a good offense.' I'm not say that this is a bad thing, just pointing it out.Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio

If someone so much at hints at the idea that maybe you're not handling any issue that has even the slightest relation to Trump rationally you basically go off the hinges and accuse that person of having it out for you personally, regardless of whether those accusations have any connection to reality or not.
Sigh.

Originally posted by oxmixmudd View PostThe truth is, having been down there enough to know, some of the poor people in Baltimore don't take care of their neighborhoods very well. So there is an element of Truth in this whole thing that is depressing.
That said, Baltimore's troubles where just a pawn in Trumps latest bullying tactic and they are rightly offended at being used in that way. His attacks on Cummings are not a lot different than his attacks on the appearance of the wives of some of his former opponents. Mean, below the belt. Typical disgraceful behavior from the man.
As for the cleanup by the white guy and his friends. That is an awkward thing. It's just as easily a rebuke of the people that live there as a helping hand. But the reality is Baltimore needs help - they just don't need it in a way that is a slap in the face from people that despise them.
See if you can tell the difference between these two:
1) A stranger shows up at your house and immediately says - BTW, so and so said your house is a mess, I'm here to clean it up for you since you are too lazy to clean it up yourself.
2) A friend drops buy and says - Gee, I've heard you've been having quite the struggle the last few months and I was wondering if there is anything I can do to help you out - can I take some time to clean up a bit or cook you a meal?
So what was this one? I don't honestly know - but it would take a skilled and gracious person to make it look like 2) rather than 1). And given the hostility of the source of the action (Trump's attacks on Cummings) , I'm not sure there is any way the majority of the people there would not see it at least as having some of the characteristics of 1 - even if they appreciated the help and even if the participants were kind and gracious to the locals.
