Initially, I was somewhat sympathetic. Perhaps your son or daughter was working as a mercenary in the Ukraine- understandable- professionals take work where it is available. After seeing your screeds for months, you and your ilk, Marcus Maximus et al, however, all I can say is that you are the near enemy, a metastasizing cancer upon America. I am indifferent to the concerns of one group of foreigners vs another- unlike too many of our more recent immigrants who wrap themselves around the flag have no real roots pre-1900 or thereabouts, and many of the Slava Ukraine crowd seem considerably more recent than that. There is probably a lesson there. Despite this, and largely because of the shrill cries of yourself and your vile compatriots, and the evil regime you serve, I eagerly await the total victory of Russia and Putin in the Ukraine. NATO has been destroyed in the process, the only credible military in Turkey largely withdrawing. I cannot help but be thankful for the unintended consequence of ineptitude and evil.
“I am indifferent to the concerns of one group of foreigners vs another”
I am not indifferent.
Sharing information is not propaganda. We must all avoid being driven to accept canned “group think.” To just accept ‘spoon-fed’ information as valid, and potentially regurgitate later, is just an evasion of our intellectual responsibility.
This Free Republic site supports and gives opportunity to share information toward the goal of consistently increasing our own learning.
I do honor each person’s right to freedom of thought and expression. However, with freedom comes responsibility.
I do not accept responsibility to change anyone’s opinion.
Intellectual honesty demands for each of us to entertain various viewpoints to discern truth. Not because an oppositional view will take control. However, opposing viewpoints will often add clarity to learn & confirm personal insights.
Let’s be gracious with each other and still honor each of our differ political perspectives.
Your base, core enemies are those that are teaching your kids nothing but evil lies. This goes back a very long way and is the root of all your current problems.
What have you, yourself actually done about your public schools, your universities? Nothing? Haven’t you thus failed as a citizen?
Consider the possibility that your anger is badly misdirected.
