The Bergdahl plot thickens — 6 Comments

  1. Traitors do what traitors do. Evil does what evil is.

    There is no reason for excuses to be made about them, any more. If ever.

  2. Ymarsakar – He thinks he’s helping. That may be worse. A traitor might repent and try to undo. The self-righteous, however, never stop helping us, which is what makes them dangerous.

    The CS Lewis quote becomes more apt each year: “Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. “

  3. “Did the White House scuttle, or at the very least ignore, a better Bergdahl prisoner exchange deal and replace it with the one we got, in order to free the five Taliban, which was the real goal?”

    Here I’ve corrected it;

    The White House scuttled a much better Bergdahl prisoner exchange deal and replaced it with the one we got, in order to free the five Taliban, in hopes of tempting the Taliban to reach an agreement with the Taliban, one that would provide Obama with political cover for his retreat from Afghanistan and the WoT.

    There’s no doubt in my mind that to be exactly what happened and the reason why.

  4. He thinks he’s helping. That may be worse.

    What difference does that make? Don’t you remember that Benedict Arnold also thought he was “helping” the US out of a war we couldn’t win? Washington refused to believe Arnold, his boy, was some traitorous piece of sh.

  5. As for CS Lewis, the topic in contention there is whether evil can become a self perpetuating gold rube machine or not. Cruelty in itself, appears and disappears in a generation, ephemeral. Notable like the Marquis de Sade, but also not mainstream.

    But a culture and a religion that believes in its own self righteous dogma like Islam or the Cult of the Left, is a self perpetuating machine of evil. It cannot be stopped, unless you kill all the believers like they will to you.
