COMPARE AND CONTRAST

Top stories at PJ Media right now:





PJ Media, January 21, 2014:
... Over the weekend, Bergdahl's father, Robert, was trying to rally support for the White House petition, including with tweets to Lone Survivor Marcus Luttrell and the actor who plays him in the film, Mark Wahlberg.

The petition asks the Obama administration to "take action to secure the release, or rescue, or Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, using all means available, including force."

It needs 100,000 signatures by Feb. 16 to prompt a White House response. As of this writing, more than 2,800 have signed the petition.

Add your name to the petition here.
I guess "using all means available, including force" doesn't really mean "using all means available," which is what the administration did to free Bergdahl. I guess it really means "using force, so we civilians can be vicarious warriors from the safety of our own Barcaloungers." I suppose it would be naive of me not to understand that.

They're really like high school debaters taking a position because that's the one the coach assigned them, no actual beliefs are involved; it's just whatever seems, at a given moment, to be opposed to Obama. (I have similar feelings about some of our Obots, especially the ones who clamored for air attacks on Syria when they thought that was what the president wanted.) Dignifying them by arguing with them is like mentioning the names of mass killers, it would be better if we didn't have to do it.
