As a conservative, I can confidently say you are over-generalizing. From what I have read and heard, he appears to be a deserter - but I would not brand him a sympathizer. Nor would most of the people I have talked with. The report that came out last week from a private firm contracted by the Pentagon seems to allude to the fact that he had freedom while in captivity and even did some target shooting. First, we don’t know how accurate that report is. Second, there are good reasons why this might be true, if it was - self-preservation or Stockholm Syndrome, for example. So, to state that ALL conservatives have done this or that is not accurate. It is best not to use such qualifiers.

Sorry all true conservatives.

I consider myself a true conservative and I don’t believe he is a sympathizer. I have just disproven your point.

They don't hate America. They hate Americans who are not like them. They hate minorities and poor people, and generally don't think highly of women. They don't like non-Christians.

That's why they think the current govt needs to be overthrown - all this protection of historically disadvantaged groups threatens their privilege and control.

And jesse jackson and Al Sharptopn really like jews?

Guess what. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton do not represent liberals everywhere. So whatever they do or do not think about Jews, it isn't really relevant.

Perhaps they have something to hide. Bullying and hazing is a problem in the military


There was a gag order


They had to sign non-disclosure not to talk as long as he was "away".

A non -disclosure? Really? Sound fishy, in the military they have a system for for dealing with things they don't want out in public....any guess what it is?

Here you go with the reference to the non disclosure agreement signing.
