Why was my NYTimes comment today one of only six – out of 196 – highlighted by the editor?
John – they highlighted your post because you are drinking their kool-aid, man. The perspective you have reminds me of the guy with a hammer: everything he sees looks like a nail. The blame is always elsewhere, on some other person. Whatever happened to good old personal responsibility? I say this as someone who was bullied frequently throughout middle school and freshman year in high school. How I respond to such things is my choice. And far be it for me to blame “bullies” for the actions I choose to take. It would be good if you took the time to build the case that this terrorist was bullied into “snapping”. Seemed to me what he did was pretty cold and calculating, and he sought advice and counsel from a resource who believes and practices “the only good American soldier is a dead one.” How do you reconcile that with your theory? You perspective is not different – it’s the same junk thinking that is pumped out daily by a far left press and our wonderful representatives in government.
