MICHAEL LOOMIS - WHO ARE YOU?

While I questioned why Michael Loomis, Chair of the HCGOP, could not find the time, yesterday - Memorial Day, to write a HCGOP Newsletter acknowledging the HCGOP's support and unity with the families and friends of our fallen soldiers, he did find the time to post a rather lengthy, highly questionable post on his Facebook page that implies a deliberate lack of honesty and integrity on his part.

In that post, Michael writes:

"Imagine a person who has some secret he doesn't want known. For example, he is sexually aroused by hippopotamuses. He could probably figure out that it is a good idea not to spend too much time talking about the sexual allure of hippopotamuses.

Sadly, many people have worse secrets than being sexually aroused by hippopotamuses, and they let it slip in conversations. Often, they don't (know) themselves well enough to know what secrets they should be keeping. For example, I posted recently about a mother who has too intense a relationship with her sons in the(ir) mid-twenties. Yesterday, I met a guy who seemed nice. But after five minutes of conversation with him, I realized he would bully people who got to know him.

I started wondering about myself. Am I revealing in conversations something that should be kept secret? I don't want to but how to avoid it? One approach would be to work on yourself so that the black marks on your personality are so minor that they shouldn't scare people off. But that takes a lot of effort, prayer, and reflection.

So I suggest that the best way to avoid revealing your negative side is to suggest things about yourself that are deliberate misinformation to keep the people off track about who you are."

What I am reading in your Facebook post, Michael, is that you advocate for deliberately lying to people so that they do not become aware of who you really are or what you truly stand for.

Are these secrets that you camouflage with deliberate misinformation, secrets that could bring harm to the HCGOP? And why would anyone in a position of leadership within any organization be so foolish as to post on their Facebook page such information about themselves?

What deliberate misinformation are you providing to the members of the Haywood County Republican Party, and why? After this post, can you honestly be trusted to be truthful to the members of the organization you Chair?

Furthermore, why are you sharing on your Facebook page your knowledge of a mother who has an overly intense relationship with her two mid-twenties sons? I am pretty sure that they appreciate your sharing of that information as much as you appreciate my sharing of your post.

So, what misinformation can we expect to hear from you regarding this post?
