NOT THAT IT MATTERS a whit to us here in the cool, gray city of love what Frank Lindh, daddy of the Taliban warrior from Marin, does, did or dreams of doing with other consenting adults, but shouldn't he come clean with us about all the facts in the odd odyssey of his son?
Frank Lindh has been quoted time and again as saying it was his son John's reading of the "Autobiography of Malcolm X" when John was 16 in 1997 that turned his son's head and heart towards Islam. But something else then going on in the family's life may be have been just as pertinent.
When Frank Lindh left his family in 1997, it was to move in with a male companion. Yep. ... The man with whom Lindh lived has since been described as "a family friend," but other family friends say the men lived as a gay couple.
It would take a specialist in family issues to map the constellations of feelings and problems that would describe John Walker's path toward Islam in 1997, but sources close to the family say the father's turn of life from married man to modern gay man startled and flustered the 16-year-old.
Given the pummeling that the Walkers and marvy Marin County have taken from the national press over their wayward son, you can't blame the old man for wanting to suppress reporting on his sexuality. ...
I see issues...therapy...
Yes, see the blond fellow above.
"Ocean Grove, California, the residence of the Simms family: Paul [Lynde], a quiet, respectable attorney with the firm of McNish and Simms; his wife, Martha, and their two daughters, Barbara, age 21; and Sally, age 14."
Sounds just like Johnny's California family pre-breakup. Lawyer dad too!
You think that's bad?!!!
Jack Daniels' dad was a Damn Yankee!!!!
Actually, it WAS reported, subtly, but it was reported. The first article I read about Johnnie Walker mentioned Mr. Walker and his housemate ....."
OK. I've seen this picture posted several times this week. What's it from and who are these (gays?) guys?
"Maybe he just didn't like Paul Lind."
Zing! You win the post of the day.
Unforunately, it's downhill all the way from there, to Judy Garland and beyond.
Perhaps. But for sure, Johhny Jihad went in search of a lifestyle that allowed him to wear a skirt. He doesn't want to grow up to be like dad. Or even like his own true self.
Johnny Jihad could be psychoanalyzed into a puddle of pablum so nothing would ever be his fault, but the truth is, he's a traitor. Nobody cares that he's a traitor to his family; he didn't pick up an AK47 and shoot THEM in the head. He took his frustrations out on his country instead.
Oh that's soooo Perrrfect! It fits..no?
Ok, put on The Doors song, The End, because this is the END of gay rights
I am totally serious about this. He left his wife and son who NEEDED his FATHER to go pursue....well...SIN!
Did I just hear a BIG DOOR being shut on gay rights and gay screams??? LOL, I am SOOO SICK OF GAY RIGHTS! This will be it, finale, OVER, etc.
I'm sorry but I am sick of them and their butt sex, sick of them and their yells about their special rights, sick of them ADOPTING and HAVING CHILDREN! SICK OF IT!!!
