This is wierder than it looks. Daddy Berg is not merely liberal. He's a vein-popping high-blood-pressure extremist. Yet he had such a bucolic relatiionship with his adamantly Bush-loving son, even going into business together. Can a lefty have a Bushie for a son? Yes, rarely. But unlike the Bergs, they will have a rocky relationship, especially if the Dad is a ranting nut-case. This is quite odd.
You're right, this stinks and makes no sense whatsoever. An madman like Berg Sr would NOT go into a capitalistic business venture with a conservative son. And the business venture seems to not really have existed anyway. And there is another entity with the name "Prometheus" in PA which is a leftist tool. The whole thing is so weird I can't believe it.
Berg Sr is a lying madman, no doubt about it. Right after his son's death, his reaction is insane anger at Bush. What parent would have that reaction? Where's the grief, the sadness, the regret that he didn't stop Nick from going to Iraq?
I hope we can see the truth of this sooner rather than later.
