Thanks! I think it’s still pretty possible that he was an anarchist, though, at least in his sentiments. The terminology he used is exactly what they use, except for the “patriot” part. And they hate the government much more than any libertarian (generally lumped in with conservatives, although they usually aren’t).
He doesn’t seem to have had any connections with anyone, actually, and an earlier interview with a fellow classmate from high school said that as far as he could see, Ciancia went through the entire four years without saying a word to anybody. He’s definitely got mental problems, and I guess in his disturbed mind, he was attributing his internal problems to a political motive.
That said, Obama has created such an atmosphere of tension and fear that it is having a negative impact on everybody, and the mentally ill are very sensitive to their emotional environment and unrestrained in their reaction to it. Of course, if his self-defined motive was leftist/ anarchist, as it was in the case of the crazy Giffords shooter (who felt she and the others weren’t leftist enough), we’ll never hear about it.
Obama and Co. are poisoning civil discourse.
