Michael Berg Is Insane

Michael Berg Is Insane

Judson Cox, May 17, 2004

Few people take Michael Savage seriously when he claims "liberalism is a mental disease." But, how else would you describe a man who, after watching al Qaida cut off his son’s head, blames President Bush and describes his son’s murderers as "sick people" who have "some good in them"? How do liberals like Mr. Berg blame President Bush for al Qaida killing three thousand people on 9-11? Do the terrorists bear none of the blame -- are they also sick people with some good in them? How can liberals equate the deaths of over half a million Iraqis, tortured and killed by Saddam Hussein, to the deviant actions of 12 American prison guards? How can they continue to deny Saddam’s links to al Qaida?

U.S. District Court judge Harold Baer, has made a legal finding that Iraq was behind the 9-11 attacks. His ruling was upheld by the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals.

According to Czech intelligence, Mohammed Atta met with Iraqi intelligence agents in Prague just prior to the 9-11 attacks.

Papers found in Iraqi intelligence headquarters document Saddam's efforts to establish a relationship with al-Qaida. Osama bin Laden’s top aid visited Iraq in 1998 at Saddam’s request.

How can they say that military courts are insufficient to punish 12 prison guards, but too harsh for terrorists and enemy combatants? How is it that they always find excuses for the actions of our enemies, but always manage to condemn our soldiers? Why do they insist that every picture of every act of abuse committed by 12 American prison guards be made public to make America look as bad as possible, but do everything in their power to prevent everything from the 9-11 footage to the execution of Nick Berg from being shown? Why will they not admit that we are at war with an enemy that seeks to destroy us? How can they contend that the war in Iraq is a racist, imperialist "war for oil," when our dead lay piled in the streets, killed by terrorists loyal to, and funded by, Saddam Hussein?

Liberals insist that America is complicit in a "cycle of violence." They see America as the aggressor, much as do the al Qaida terrorists who beheaded Nick Berg, supposedly in retaliation for the Abu Grhaib prison abuses. What was the beheading of Daniel Pearl in retaliation for? How about the four American contractors who were burned, mutilated and dragged through the streets of Fallujah? What was the motivation for retaliation behind 9-11, the USS Cole bombing, the Marines killed in Yemen in 1992, the first World Trade Center attack, Khobar Towers, the embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania or any other example from a list of Islamic terrorist bloodshed too long to enumerate? Liberals, like Madeline Albright, agree with the terrorists that all of these attacks against innocent Americans are in retaliation for the Crusades at their root!

Let’s look at the Crusades:

Muslims invaded Europe , and imposed their religion upon Westerners by force. Christian armies drove them back. The Crusades lasted about 200 years, but freed Europe from Islamic rule for nearly 1,000 years. Islamic fascism has always been the aggressor.

It is gut check time for America . I urge each of you to watch the video of Nick Berg’s execution, and Daniel Pearl’s and 9-11. See the true face of our enemy. They have vowed to destroy us, and they are doing so one person and 3,000 at a time. They don’t care if you are Republican or Democrat, capitalist or socialist, Christian or an enlightened liberal atheist college professor. They will kill you even if you are a movie star or a politician. If liberalism means that you cannot recognize, condemn or fight your enemy (or support your own country), then liberalism is a mental disease -- it is suicidal not only for the individual, but it will kill us all if we allow it to undermine our will to fight and win. There is something very wrong with a man who would denounce the Patriot Act and condemn President Bush after watching terrorists behead his son. Michael Berg is either insane or he is a traitor!

Wrong.
Sarin is WMD.
Mustard gas shells are still good even 75 years later as a few villagers in France once found out when they stumbled upon some WWI Mustard Gas shells.

We are NOT 'invaders' in Qatar, Yemen< Sudan, Syria, Jordan, UAE, Iran, Egypt, Libya, nor "all over the Arab and Moslem world" as you claim.
Unless you think Israel legitimately belongs to Arabs, and Spain belings ot teh Moors, and it's okay for them to have hijacked aircraft and flown them into buildings on 9/11.
But, judging from your attempt at apologetics for the terrorists and your denial of WMD's on other threads, that must be what you think.

Just like the media won't show the videos - or even clips from them - of Sadam's tortures. Or the documentary about the 9 men who had their hands cut off by Sadam, and the people who helped them.

The media wants to "protect" us and the "children."  Are they protecting us from the truth or ourselves?  Have you noticed how everything on TV is put on a "7 second" delay now?  Just in case something comes on that the MEDIA doesn't think we should see or hear.

The media is terrifying evil. They hate Bush, they hate conservatives, they hate truth. They love evil. If I had a TV I would go mad.

I'm a news junkie.  But I must admit, I stick to FOX.  And still, at times, I want to put my foot through the screen because even FOX is guilty of not always being "fair and balanced."

Another question I have:  why is he shown wearing the identical orange prison garb that our prisoners are clothed in at our prisons over there?  How did the terrorist obtain prison garb from our military prisons???

Prison garb is prison garb pretty much everywhere. We don't know where this thing was shot; personally I wouldn't be too surprised if it came from a prison. In Tehran.

Nick Berg's murder. "Execution" confers an air of legitimacy.

Criminals in our prisons at home wear those same orange outfits. AND he seemed to be drugged AND those five murderers seemed awfully chubby for middle eastern men, unless they padded themselves to further disguise themselves.

The pieces just don't all seem to fit.

Your right. Middle Eastern men are usually smaller in stature. I don't remember seeing any of them that reminded me of Arnold. You?

The pieces don't fit, and I'm still wondering why the media isn't saying more on this. They just dropped the subject.

I think liberalism is usually immaturity. And it becomes a mental illness when you take it to the extreme people do without questioning the logic of it.

Case in point: The father of the poor guy who was just beheaded blames Bush for his sons death. He calls the animals who did it "friends" of his sons.

"I can't imagine a father giving his son's murderers a pass because of his politics."

I can. Because he can't admit to himself that the liberalism he brainwashed his son with from an early age was the reason Nick was in Iraq, and trusted Iraqis, in the first place. No one in their right mind would have placed themselves in that situation.

The almost-poetic way in which he expresses himself when describing the murder itself gives a strong clue to his deluded state. Trust liberals to use a man who is almost demented by his loss and secret self-blame to forward their own agenda. Remarkable lack of humanity in those people.

Right on, except for the stuff about the Crusades. While Muslim forces did invade Spain, that was hardly the focus of the Crusades, and to claim that they were defensive is more than misleading, it is essentially a flat out lie. Not that that has anything to do with today's situation, which it does not.

You've got a good point. But the animals he calls friends would take his head off if they had the chance. Why he can't see that, I'll never know.

Liberals cannot admit that pure evil exists. For them to do so would negate their 'moral equivalency' arguments.

Daddy Berg would rather maintain his liberal beliefs that admit that pure evil in the form of thugs murdered his son.

I wonder if the hooded thugs who murdered his son had been poor Southern Kluckers waving the American flag and a Bible if he would have said the same thing? No, I bet then he'd have found pure evil and its alleged home in heartland America.

Us "rednecks" need to tint our skins with olive oil and learn to talk with funny accents. (Hey, no cracks about already having them, 'cause we don't!)

My two cents...if he faces reality there, he opens himself up to facing it in all of his life, and his psyche won't allow that. He's so emotionally crippled, liberalism is the only defense against seeing himself as a failure in life.

Note also that, although most of their arguments for the right to shred babies are couched in relativist language ("Who are YOU to make that decision for other people?") they have absolute certainty that anyone who opposes a woman's right to suck out her baby's brain is EEEVIL! There is no such thing as an honest relativist. Everyone believes that SOMETHING is true.

YES! That's it exactly!

As one writer once quipped, people who claim there is no such thing as right or wrong claim that they are right and that everyone else is wrong!
