Um, I don't know anything about this guy, but is there some sort of evidence he deserted to help the Taliban or whatever poo poo these freepers are saying? The only story about the incident I've seen that addressed his capture was that the details were unclear.

There is material, like the email's he sent to his parents while deployed, that do raise questions. He also learned pashto and grew very close to the local Aghans. He also made comments to other soldiers suggesting he would just head off into the mountains at some point. It doesn't seem like he wanted to help the Taliban, just that he got sick of both sides hurting so many people and decided to just end his role in the war entirely.

Also, he was held by the Haqqani Network, not the Taliban. The difference is nuanced, but important, as Haqqani also focuses on the international whereas the Taliban does not. If the Taliban had him, they would have likely wanted more local prisoners, likely ones in Bagram.

One of his old platoon mates has also been going against the NDA he signed when this first happened and was posting actual sequence of events last night (drunk maybe?) that make it pretty clear the guy was an idiot and had been planning on deserting for a long time.

Frrepers are just being their normal ignorant selves, as always I guess. I can only speak from my experience, but most soldiers have similar thoughts to some things expressed by Bergdahl about the impact war has on people just trying to live their lives, especially if they build any type of relationship with the locals. It sounds like Bergdahl had some other issues going on, but I understand some element of his worldview. Walking off into the desert is a bad idea obviously, but any soldier who says they loved every part of their deployment, never had any doubts about their actions on mission and has no regrets whatsoever about their role is either lying or is someone who is sociopathic. I got to know quite a few Iraqis and what happened / is happening to them and their country really sucks on multiple levels.

Plenty of white moderates and even some leftists believe it too, so as long as no minorities are nearby it tends to go over well. Any white people who disagree with them are the victims of PC brainwashing.

Workaround for Christian Businesses

Liberals HATE this!

Learn one weird trick that will keep you from having to serve filthy homos ever again!

OP posted:

And that�s the solution. Christian businesses need to specify that they make, for example, �Christian marriage� cakes. ONLY. Because under corporate contractual law, �marriage� is NOT the same term as �Christian marriage.� PERIOD. And as long as a business sticks to their definition of �Christian marriage cakes,� the general statutory term �marriage� cannot be applied to what they do.

How does this apply to homosexuals? Easy - the point was NEVER about homosexuals, but rather homosexual WEDDINGS. Christian bakers WILL sell anything in their shops to homosexuals - even cakes. But they refuse to do a homosexual wedding cake because of the marriage part - not the cake part. Therefore there is no way for the State to separate the �marriage� from the �cake,� and therefore the phrase �wedding cake� CAN have a limited meaning for the Christian baker, as long as they restrict themselve to only those limited terms. And the entire concept of homosexuality can be ignored by simply focusing on the Christian denominations served, or the Christian churches served, by �special orders� of �wedding cakes� for those purposes ONLY.

Another work around is to have a private �club�. Sell only to your members. $1 membership dues refundable on the first purchase. Retain the right to cancel membership at any time.

It might hurt your business a little bit, but -� it might help too.

It is amazing to me how uncreative some business owners are.

�Sure, I�ll bake you a wedding cake. But I view homosexuality behavior as sinful. To allieve my conscience, all proceeds will go to the Alliance Defense Fund/Focus on the Family/NARTH/Catholic Courage.�

The Gay Gestapo would be disguised at the thought of their money being used to fund these groups and decline patronizing such stores. Also, I would like the govt to try and tell people how they can spend their money.

If you're interested in word salads the Topic Creator has been dumping them throughout the entire thread. For example:

quote:

To: yongin

Today, the state of CO ruled that the poor Christian baker must report to the state how often he serves gay customers and must under go re-education camps for gay proproganda.

That's because he generally applied, but refused to accept, the legal definition of the un-modified statutory term "marriage" in the course of his business. According to corporate statutory law, the word "marriage" - when used in the general sense for corporate purposes - includes homosexual marriage. So to exclude homosexual marriages from the use of the unmodified word "marriage" in the course of business is illegal.

Under the current law, it's exactly the same issue as saying that you will serve the general public, but then exclude particular people because of age, race, sex or religion. You simply can't do that - "general public" includes all of those people by law, and likewise (these days) "marriage" includes homosexual marriage.

So that's why, if he wanted to restrict his application of his work for the purposes of the TYPES of marriages that HE wanted to bake cakes for, then he needed to SPECIFY that he would only do SPECIAL WEDDING CAKE ORDERS for marriages that were being done under certain religious traditions or churches that HE wanted to do them for - and no others.

And in addition, he would have to not, within the course of his business, say anything that would express rejection of homosexuality as a condition under which he was willing to do general business.

This kind of language counts. It's the way the world currently works. I'm not praising it, I'm just pointing out the fact of it. And I'm also pointing out that there is a way that Christians can not bake cakes for homosexual marriages that the law will accept. That's all.

Global warming can't be happening because coal isn't instantly lethal!

quote:

To: lowbridge

So now we know why the shares of two major coal companies fell so sharply on the New York Stock Exchange on Friday, registering new lows for the year.

And we also know how foolish it was for coal miners and their unions to support Barack Obama in his two presidential elections.

If ��carbon pollution�� was one-tenth as harmful as the environmentalists claim, coal miners would be dead after working only a few years. Instead, they live and flourish long enough to expect to be awarded hefty union-secured pensions, which they will no longer be able to receive once Obama�s law destroys the coal companies and their pension funds.

The fact is that the Republican party and their leadership hate and despise Conservatives every bit (and perhaps more) than the Democrat MarxoFascists do.

The fact the GOP leadership declared war on Conservatives and �vowed to crush us wherever they find us� is conveniently ignored by the party hacks like you see on this thread.

Now we�re �purists� according to the talking points the entire Ruling Class and the media propagandists are running with.

There is a reason I consider the GOP leadership to be nothing but political Judenrats for the Democrat party. Because that is what they are.

Neither of which can be considered to be behavior that would make a reasonable person concerned that an act of violence was about to occur. Something that CANNOT be said about walking into a place while holding an AR-15, given recent history of mass murder incidents.

I don't know about you, but if I'm sitting at a diner and somebody walks in holding an AR-15 (not just slung over the shoulder, or better-yet in a bag, but HOLDING), I'm going to react the same way as if somebody walked in holding a handgun in his hand, namely assume that a robbery or massacre is imminent.

One of these days, one of these open-carry idiots is going to walk into a place holding a rifle, somebody is going to become alarmed enough to draw and blow the guy away, and if I'm on the jury I WILL NOT VOTE TO CONVICT, on the basis of reasonable self-defense.

This is a real catch-22. If you don�t excercise a right, you might lose it. On the other hand, some open carry in some situations is probably not prudent.

I have a CCW permit and prefer that method over advertising myself as a carrier. But I do open carry handguns in some nearby rural towns.

I was downtown Dallas with my daughter when we just happened to walk by the activists. I�m not against open carry, but this is just not the right way to do this. Unfortunately it unnerved my daughter. I explained to her what was going on and she chilled out.

The average bystander, not knowing what the heck is going on, could possibly over react, etc. There just too many opportunities for something to go wrogn. If I was a restaurant owner, I would have politely asked them to demonstrate somewhere else or would have contacted police to report.

Overall, it was just surreal...that�s all. Not used to seeing this.

Your Faith is Now Intrinsically Offensive. Are You Ready for the Fallout?

quote:

To: Gamecock
None of us crave persecution, but I do believe we Christians thrive in God under it. Opposition enlivens me, but when left alone and rejected by standing for the Gospel there is a temptation to self-question. Am I being �judgmental�, �rude�, �arrogant�, �nosy�, etc.? These and others are the accusations. Sometimes they come from other believers.

I know many do not believe in �private faith�, but if we take this piece seriously we�d all BETTER have a private faith that is real as we will likely lose a lot of the people we�ve called friends/family. But we�re never in a bogus type of private faith if we�re born of God through Christ.

I think of the �others� in Hebrews, mentioned at the end of the �hall of faith�. They were cast-outs, alone, martyred...�of whom the world was not worthy�.

But they were worthy in the Father�s sight.

They won�t target Islam, because the surface issues they use (�gay rights�) are not the real issue.

The real issue/goal is the criminalization of Christianity.
They won�t address Islam until after this goal is fully implemented. At that point, they�ll probably abandon the gays as no longer useful and embrace Islam.

The point is that many fear they might be. Intimidation accomplished. I think July4 is absolutely right. Such polls are skewed by their very nature.

If this is true, then we are lost as a nation. Completely.

I see that TV show with the two queers and their adopted daughter and I seen untold manipulation and diversion from the real perversion that is homosexuality.

They show a peck on the cheek and lovey-dovey humanist affection between two people, but they do not show the physical and mental perversion that forms the basis of all their �morality�.

God never intended it, Hollywood won�t show the truth - you can only find that via gay porn - and liberals and Democrats only support it because it is a means to degenerate us all. Truly evil people

Why don�t they just produce their own?? Oh, right...

Therein lies the problem with mating with somebody that it�s impossible to produce children with.

So they believe society should just fill in the gap (so to speak) and provide them with the children that they refuse to create themselves (with somebody who can produce them with them).

To: SeekAndFind
The Dementocrats are well aware that homosexuality in itself is an agenda against social realities, and against social stability. Since children do not yet have a sound grasp on what makes a society stable, they are naturally susceptible to faulty and destructive ideas; consequently, homosexuals seek to adopt all the children they can, while attempting to brainwash the children they can't adopt through the public schools.

Yet another perfect example of why we conservatives and patriots are complete idiots for not having created our own pop culture infrastructure! Why do we not have a conservative response to "American Family"? Why did we stand around and not respond to "Will and Grace"? Why do we not counter Jon Stewart, Bill Maher, Green Day, Kanye West, Pink, George cLooney, Katy Perry, et al? Why do we keep making excuses?
There are talented conservatives and patriots making music, writing screenplays, trying to break into the movie biz, and so on. But we conservatives seem to think that anything artistic and creative isn't for us. "Our brains aren't wired that way", I've heard on a few occasions. Wake up, people...we gotta get "that way". Music, movies, reality TV, sports and so on are what influences Generation.com, not family, church, talk radio, or the Heritage Foundation. We have allowed the Left unchallenged access to the most power weapon ever for molding and shaping the minds of young people, and it's going to kill this Republic.

My sister-in-law has a lesbian aunt. She�s about 50 and has been with the same partner for 25 years. They�ve adopted 2 children with Downs Syndrome. They�ve given those children a rich and fulfilling life. Sorry, I can�t condemn them. The vast majority of Freepers I�m sure think those women are headed for the lake of fire. Sorry, but I just can�t believe a just god would do that.

I don�t think your relatives are headed for Hades. How would I know that? But I also don�t think they should have been allowed to adopt children�not as a couple, certainly. I can tell horror stories of kids I have known who were deliberately deprived of a mother or a father so a gay couple could pretend to be their parents, but it�s not stories (horror or otherwise) that matter. It�s a way of being reared that Nature and Nature�s God designed for all of us, and it�s wrong to deprive children of it in the name of a social experiment.

I sympathize with your sil's aunt. They are, however, exceptional cases and need to be given consideration as exceptional cases.
God bless her for giving these Down's Syndrome kids a chance in life. People are not exactly lining up to adopt kids with Down's.

They are not, however, the norm and should not be legislated as the norm. Something like 80% of all heterosexual women and 70% of all heterosexual men are faithfully monogamous.

Amount homosexuals, these figures drop to around 6% for women and 3% for men. I'm glad your sil's aunt is in the 6% and has worthwhile things on her mind like giving Down's kids a real chance in life. She sounds like a giving unselfish person.

Most homosexuals priorities, however, are located well below the waist.

Now that homosexuality has become a normal part of our society, pedophilia has to follow, and what better way to assure that than allowing homosexual couples to adopt young children.
