Most of the article is bizarre. The author even refers to Free Republic as a "neo-conservative website." I've been here for 6 years and, as far as I know, this is not a "neo-conservative website." But then, JR clearly states that this is a conservative website right there on the homepage. Missy Egan just decided to change that to "neo-conservative" in her article.
Michael Berg was a piece of shitte before his son died.
Now he's a piece of shitte with a dead son, murdered by terrorists.
Go to hell, Michael Berg.
That's the thing: He was an infidel first.
If this stuff about him being a terrorist sympathizer is true, it would hardly matter to Zarqawi. His mission is to kill all the infidels. Nick berg was an infidel. Whether he was an infidel who was interested in appeasement was not really a factor.
"Berg said, just before taking off on his morning bicycle ride.
I'm glad the inconvenience of his son being "beheaded" didn't interfere with his morning bicycle ride. I watched him take off that day, and then stop and talk to the media, and I thought it very, very odd behavior. Unless of course, he used it as an excuse to go outside, be seen, and run his liberal mouth to the media. I've said from the first day the boy died because his father is the typical mentally diseased liberal whacko, and I still say it! I'm glad he wore his pointy little bicycle helmet to protect HIS sick head that day, since he didn't teach his son anything that could have given him any protection! I have no sympathy for this scum, I reserve my compassion for the poor boy that felt the pain and torture of his head being hacked off! I put this "father" in line for punishment right behind the satanists that did this evil deed!
I am looking up political terms and political nicknames right now. Some of them are quite funny.
Racism
Using a person's race to point out just about anything. We are only
allowed to use 'race' in a sentence when we are describing how
downtrodden and oppressed a racial group is. If we say that, for
instance, as many as 25% of Black men ages 18 to 34 have a rap sheet,
we are being racist. Never mind whether it's true. Suppression of
truth defeats our ability to deal with reality, thus making the
original problem larger than necessary.
Sexism
Same as above, only with gender as the operational term. If we cannot
discuss real gender differences, truth dies. If we cannot deal with
women as women and men as men, then we turn people into robots, which
are much easier to subdue than flesh and blood.
Homophobia
What in the world is homophobia, anyway? Is there anyone who is really
afraid of homosexuals? If the fear is actually directed at
homosexuality itself, then why so maligned the fear that one's
children may have to grow up in a world unintended by our Lord? If
millions of people took up murder as an active interest, citing the
'naturalness' of it, should we who are against it be labeled
'murderphobes?' I know...the whole context of homosexuality is
presented as an 'alternative normal state.' Any biology text will tell
you that sexual activity in an organism is for reproduction of the
species. Therefore, any off-label use of the sex organs has to be
termed 'abnormal.' I can already hear them screaming: "But it just
'feels right' so it must be natural!" Any alcoholic will tell you that
he feels better when tanked up, but it doesn't do him or anyone around
him any good.
Antisemitism
Works just like 'racism' and 'sexism.' Say anything critical about
someone who happens to be Jewish, and you are in trouble. This
accusation is used by Jews or Jewish groups that have nothing
intelligent to say in their defense.
Oppression
Defined as anyone or any institution acting out of good sense against
anyone else making no sense. In today's world, idiots have a right to
be taken seriously, and we are not to hold them down to the same rules
to which productive society is subject.
Supremacy
A derogatory term tagged on anyone who happens to notice racial
differences. We are supposed to be deaf, dumb, and blind to it all.
Demonization
Making a demon out of a demonic individual or issue. We're not
supposed to notice...remember?
Scapegoating
When someone on the Right blames the actual culprit for an injustice.
Conspiracism
When the Right uncovers the Left's plans, it's Conspiracism - when it
happens the other way, it's 'investigative journalism.'
Demagoguery
When the Right keeps hammering the truth. When the Left does it, it's
"expressing the will of the people."
Prejudice
pre-judge: To make a decision based on previous knowledge. Otherwise
known as 'good sense.'
Discrimination
Being able to tell right from wrong, good from bad, smart from stupid,
etc.
Ethnocentrism
The 'evil' of any white, Christian nation or ethnic group daring to
evolve their laws and customs around their common roots. When 'people
of color' do it, we are supposed to 'celebrate their beautiful
culture.'
Stereotyping
Daring to notice that ethnic/racial groups tend to repeat certain
behaviours. It's okay to refer to the 'thrifty Scot,' though.
Theocracy
What we are headed toward any time a devout Christian politician
expresses his faith in a public venue. But Joe Lieberman can parade
his pseudo-Jewish schtick all over the media - in the midst of an
election, no less.
Millennialism
The Bible certainly contains prophesy regarding the end times
[eschatology,] but if you claim to understand some of it, you are a
'millennialist.' That's bad, I guess. Isn't it?
Apocalypticism
Tied closely to 'millennialism.' These two terms probably rain on the
secular humanists' parade because they contradict the idea that men
control their own destiny. If God can turn out the lights at any time,
then what point is there to 'fight for world peace,' and all that
nonsense.
Authoritarianism
The Right putting their ideas into law. When the left does it, it's
called 'sustainable policy.'
Vigilantism
What some elements of the Right resort to when the legal system fails
to do its job. Since government is made up of people, vigilantism is
simply 'justice by other means.'
Producerism
Any policy or philosophy which acknowledges or encourages the
productivity of individuals or [non-governmental] organisations. The
Left thinks that consumer goods fall from the sky. They think that
wealthy people with good ideas should risk their investment capital
out of a love for humanity, not expecting a return. Leftists should
put this theory into practice with their own money, if it's such a
good idea. They won't, because it isn't.
Repression
When traditional, common-sense people shout down stupid, silly people
with stupid, silly ideas, it's called 'repression.'
Neofascism
When the Right begins to gain the same amount of power as the Left,
they become 'neo-fascists.'
Neonazism
The term the Left drags out when 'neo-fascist' isn't convincing
enough.
Totalitarianism
See 'neo-fascism'
What is a neo conservative?
neo-conservative= An intellectual and political movement in favor of political, economic, and social conservatism that arose in opposition to the perceived liberalism of the 1960s: “The neo-conservatism of the 1980s is a replay of the New Conservatism of the 1950s, which was itself a replay of the New Era philosophy of the 1920s” (Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.).
The guy is an idiot.
If I were not so tired, I might have something to add......
Must hit the sack!
Sounds like you have a good start on a liberal dictionary! LOL
Hmmmm. The father supports the terrorists and is anti-Bush. The son supposedly supports the President that the father hates. I bet there was no love lost between the two if what the father said is true. However, I don't think the father would tell the truth if his life depended on it. Berg would be wise to just shut up. The more he talks, the more stupid he sounds and the more doubt he casts on his own credibility.
Ok, your tin foil theory is scary and also very plausible. Stop being so sensible, who knows who might be lurking out there.... great job!!!! :)
Yeah, right, sure. College kids let complete strangers on a bus use their e-mail addresses all the time.
Maybe it's time Berg's father got FREEPED with lots of posters with sane clear truth for a change.
It might be a novel experience for him to have to face the truth.
Sheesh. Sure he's suffering. And, he's an idiot.
Berg's spokesperson, his neighbor, Bruce Hauser was on a local talk radio program today. After offering my condolences and mentioning that Mr. Berg's father had expressed anger toward president Bush for his son's death, I asked him if Mr. Berg thought the Alqaida terrorists in Iraq were at all responsible for Nick Berg's beheading and also whether Mr. Berg had asked for retribution against them.
Mr. Hauser said he hasn't had the chance to discuss those things with Mr. Berg.
This article has ANSWERed my question. Mr. Berg is obviously NOT rational. The above would have been the normal and proper response for any father who had lost his son in this horrifying manner.
No matter, I and likely many other Americans place the blame exactly where it lies, and we are calling for the heads of Nick Berg's be-headers.
Thanks
On the way home from a band competition one time (back when Nick was in ninth grade), Nick somehow managed to get part of a hanger up in his nose (accidentally).
Nick was a good friend of my brother's, and through him I heard many fantastic stories about Nick's adventures. One that stuck with me that I've told almost everyone who wants to know more about Nick is the time Nick decided he wanted to ride a bicycle to Florida. Sooo, he did. From what I recall, he just got a bike at like a yardsale, got on, and rode to Florida.

No, his dad is an idiot, just plain and simple...
Berg's father is a real nut-- I know his son died in a horrific way and that gives him the right to be crazy, but he is really going overboard.
He was an infidel first.
And he was sacrificed, per the manual, to the blood god...
