'I am a citizen of the United States of America'
'I am a citizen of the United States of America' ^ | September 20, 2013 | Tom Broderick

Posted on 09/21/2013 8:06:42 PM PDT by cunning_fish

Hello, My name is Tom Broderick, and I am a citizen of the United States of America.

In recent days I have been reading the news and watching world events

It has become increasingly clear that there is a great element of distrust between the leaders of my Country and yours. This distrust is increasing as each day passes and I am concerned that it will eventually lead to another

Some American leaders, for what ever their reasons are, try to capitalize on

Here in America, regular every day people like myself, find it increasingly difficult to sift through all the political nonsense and understand why there are such tensions between our respective leaders.

We cannot understand why there is not more communication between our political leaders and more cooperation, sharing and understanding.

can't we all just get along and live our daily lives?

like to take this opportunity, as just an average American citizen, to invite the Russian President Vladimir Putin to come to my humble home, share a meal with my family as our honored guest, and show the American people and leaders that he is not a threat to the world,

I live in a typical middle income American development.

average working people who struggle daily to make ends meet.

am concerned for the future of my two sons and the future of world affairs.

Perhaps a mutual dinner or BBQ, at my home, with a harsh critic like United States Senator John McCain would go a very long way toward cooling off all

It would be a bold, interesting and very positive gesture on behalf of President Putin to visit my home in America.

world a different and positive side of the President.

appreciate your passing

Thank you very much for your time.

Putin is a mass-murderer of Christians. Putin sent Chechen muslims to massacre innocent Orthodox Christians in Georgia.

I read them. Putin is full of $hit and anyone that believes that he isn't is a fool.

He is nothing but a corrupt Autocrat. He may not be Stalin, but he would certainly like to be. Uncle Joe had a lot of defenders and worshipers in America as well. One was President FDR.

Simply put. Putin Is a skilled politician as well as a skilled murderer and gangster. He says what he has to in order to get what he wants. A rising Russia and a return to the previous sphere of influence that the Soviets once had is his goal and he will speak in many a forked tongue to get it.

I know what I saw in Syria and Putin wanted to keep Assad and so did the Christian living in Syria cause the Muslim radicals would genocide them if they took over Syria. Obama is the one arming Muslim terrorists to massacre Christians in Syria. I know what i saw in Syria so i don’t care what you say

The "United States" DOES INDEED have citizens.

That was what the whole 14th amendment thingy was all about.

If you are a "person" SUBJECT to the jurisdiction of the "United States", you are then a "citizen" and have "privileges and immunities" which are not the same as the Bill of Rights.

The Assad regime and their jihadist Hizballah terrorists murder Christians in Lebanon. Putin arms and supports jihadists in Iran who kill Christians. Putin arms and supports the jihadist terrorists in Sudan who kill Christians.

Putin said Russia had always been a loyal and reliable defender of Islam. "In trying to destroy Russia, these people [separatist leaders] are trying to destroy one of the strongholds of the Islamic world."

You may not care about the truth but your Putinista lies won't go unchallenged here.

Islam preceded christianity on our territory, says Putin

Vladimir Putin was the first head of a non-Muslim majority state to speak at the Organisation of the Islamic Conference, a gathering of 57 Muslim states, in October 2003. That was a political and diplomatic feat, especially since Russia was waging a long-running war in Chechnya at the time. Putin stressed that 15% of the total population of the Russian Federation are Muslim (1), and that all the inhabitants of eight of its 21 autonomous republics are Muslim (2), and he won observer member status with the organisation, thanks to support from Saudi Arabia and Iran.

Since then, Putin and other Russian leaders, including the foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, claim that Russia “is, to some extent, a part of the Muslim world”. In an interview with Al Jazeera on 16 October 2003, Putin stressed that, unlike Muslims living in western Europe, those in Russia were indigenous and that Islam had been present on Russian territory long before Christianity (3).

“We must prevent Islamophobia,” said Putin in the Al Jazeera interview.

PUTIN REJECTS ATTEMPTS TO EQUATE ISLAM WITH TERRORISM - October 17, 2003

President Vladimir Putin on 16 October addressed a summit of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) in Malaysia, saying that the millions of Muslims in Russia are "a full-fledged, full-blooded, integral part of the Russian people," ORT and RTR reported. He called Muslims "an asset" and a part of Russia's "wealth."

He added that Russia condemns efforts to identify Islam with extremism or terrorism. "Attempts to provoke 'Islamophobia' in Russia have failed utterly," Putin said. He said that during Russia's religious revival of the last decade, the number of mosques in the country has grown from 870 to more than 7,000.

The Lord Jesus will judge people by deeds not their political statements.
Russia has about a billion angry Moslems sitting right south of their border and some 5% Moslem population. Are you waiting for Putin to officially declare war on all of them right now?
I think he does pretty good in covert war instead.

Except for the fact that Putin has a history of thuggery and corruption. He has a history of invading former satellite countries and killing tens of thousands. He has a history of murdering political enemies. The fact that he gives lip service to protecting Christianity is more BS than anything else. He also pays lip service to the greatness of Islam.

‘Many of Putin's actions are regarded by the domestic opposition and foreign observers as undemocratic.[5] The 2011 Democracy Index stated that Russia was in “a long process of regression [that] culminated in a move from a hybrid to an authoritarian regime” in view of Putin's candidacy and flawed parliamentary elections,[6] and American diplomatic cables leaked by WikiLeaks allege that Russia has become a “virtual mafia state.”[7][8] Some critics describe him as a dictator’

Putin Is a thug. KGB, Plutocrat, Fascist or otherwise. He is a known Corruptocrat! Just because you are bored in hearing it, doesn't mean it isn't true.

Putin did not hesitate to wage war on the Christians on the Southern border of Russia, in Georgia, but he has never attacked any muslim country.

And according to Putin muslims are 15% of Russia, not 5%.

Putin divorced his Christian wife and sired a bastard with his muslim Tatar girlfiend. Putin’s son is a muslim bastard.

Actually, I know - personally - some old KGB folks, up to colonel level. They’re not especially communist, or even especially thuggish.

And certainly less thuggish than Obama.

The important fact that must be understood in the Presidential-Muslim dynamic is: Who's boss.

In the case of President Obama, the Muslim is boss.

In the case of President Putin, clearly and unequivocally, Putin is Boss.

Contemplate that for a while and you can see where thing are going for both Russia and the United States.
