John would have spit in it's face...What a fruitcake
Earlier the story was that he mailed his things home and told them to ‘use’ his things.
I think a lot of what is coming out in the last few days is BS from the white hut. Hagel, this story, trying to make out he was deeply depressed....
I'll work with al Qaeda though.
John would have spit in it's face...Reading comprehension was obviously not his strong suit.
sometimes i fantasize about leaving everything i know behind, and taking off for Kansas, where nobody knows me... and starting a new quiet life... kind of like that gal in Sleeping with the Enemy (the Julia Robert's character)... i would find a job and live in a small town...
The gubmint will redefine Bergdahl as a Tea Party member!
But of course.
OMG! He’s a right-winger! Stone him!
Espousing “Atlas Shrugged” and manifesting anti-American (never mind anti-religious) tendencies are not necessarily contradictory. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KmPLkiqnO8 for just one example why. “You’re too intelligent to believe in Gott,” she told WFB. Economics is only part, and perhaps not so major a part as some of us choose to believe, of the Conservative ethos.
He’s not fit to sniff Eddie Willer’s jock.
He likes Ayn Rand... Must be a tea party kook.
He goes Galt SO HARD that he goes and makes himself a lackey to an all-controlling band of heroin dealers whose central belief is that EVERYTHING is pre-ordained by God?
And those men believe that ANY time a man has the feeling of having made an individual choice, that feeling is an illusory MIRAGE because NOTHING can exist outside the direct control of ALL POWERFUL God..?
And the only leverage he affords the Taliban is simply because by an accident of FATE he happened to be born in the USA..?
He is THAT Galt and he is THAT much an advocate of free will?
Wow.
And I get irritated when I see conservative commentators defending the economic system of the United States out of habit, as if we're still a capitalist free market.
We're not living in the same America as our ancestors. That Obama was twice elected should convince every conservative of that.
It's not surprising the young are very confused right now.
Big Gov Guy #1: “They’re not buying our story guys, what do we do?”
Big Gov Guy #2: “Let’s tell ‘em he reads Ayn Rand!”
All Big Gov Guys: “Yeah, that’s the ticket!”
I saw the Medic from Bergdahl’s unit a couple of hours ago on TV. The host was asking him specifically if he thought Bergdahl was crazy. The Medic said no.
In a combat zone, nobody is going to tolerate a crazy person. It’s too dangerous. Nobody wants to go on a patrol with a kook.
Leftist strategy: “Say Anything”
Going Galt in a Taliban infested desert is about as much of Darwin Award Candidacy as it gets.
Bowe was an excuse to dump prisoners at Guantanamo .......nothing more
This doesn’t surprise me.
His parents fit the profile. He fits the profile.
I know a few people like his parents because I go to a reformed church. They’re embarrassed to be patriotic for fear it might be idolatry, they love Ron Paul and Glen Greenwald and Lew Rockwell.... They hate middle eastern wars. He should never, ever have gone. It would never square with his confused upbringing.
The poor kid probably never learned to spell or write properly because his parents seemed to have put lofty ideas of Aristotle and Aquinas before discipline and hard work which creates self-esteem and good character.
I know too many young men like him. They become a burden to their parents and to their church, but both keep working on their behalf without demanding accountability. In some homeschools, I just see kids get away with too much and rule the roost.
I wish I knew the answer. His church’s response is to keep praying, but they see the warning signs and ignore them in covenant, homeschooling communitites because Daddy knows best.
