At a recent talk, President Vladimir Putin defended Christian values and criticized the secularization of Europe, according to the Russian news agency Interfax.
“We have been able to see many Euro-Atlantic countries effectively embark on a path of renouncing their roots, including Christian values, which underlie Western civilization,” he said. “Policies are pursued that put large families and same-sex partnerships in the same category, belief in God and belief in Satan.”
“Excesses of political correctness reach the point where there are serious discussions on the registration of parties that have propaganda of pedophilia as their objective,” he continued. “People in many European countries are ashamed and afraid of speaking about their religion, holidays are abolished or given other names, names that shyly conceal the nature of those holidays, and aggressive attempts are made to force this model on the rest of the world.”
“This is a direct path to degradation and primitiveness, to deep demographic and moral crises,” he added. “What can be a better indication of a moral crisis in human society than its loss of the ability for self-reproduction?”

Remember this from last year?
Not disagreeing with you, but a quick look at the numbers of tiny people that our own "president" has played a part in sending to the graveyard brings a new twist to an old poem:
Hey! Hey! O-bomb-AAAAA!
How many babies did you kill today?
We are truly living in Bizarro world.
Putin is also unapologetic about his tyrannical ways.
I’m sure Mafia hit men can be unapologetic about their catholic faith - for whatever that’s worth.
Doesn’t mean I’m going to hold them in esteem for it.
All true, but his mother was a world banger of low life males. He was more an organizer of illiterate ghetto trash.
If anybody would know about that, it's a Russian!
This is actually a sign of Putin’s underlying weakness — he’s sucking up to the Church because he’s run out of other power centers to rely on.
Obama has conned more people than Putin has. I would seriously take Putin over Obama any day.
Agreed on both counts.
Unfortunately.
Of course there is. My family is here, I hate to fly and I hate cold weather. And I don’t speak Russian. Other than all those things (and money), I would seriously consider it. We won’t recognize America by the end of Obama’s term (if it actually ends).
It is pretty simple really. They have a demographics problem and need to raise their birth rate. The strategy they have chosen is to support families and faith. It is self serving and perhaps for the wrong reason, but it is nice to hear a world leader addressing these issues.
Putin is a liar. He doesn’t champion truth. He lies. Putin threw away his wife of thirty years and sired a bastard with his muslim Tatar girlfriend. He has no right to lecture anyone on morality. Putin is about as Christian as Bill Clinton.
“It is self serving and perhaps for the wrong reason, but it is nice to hear a world leader addressing these issues.”
Absolutely; the only others leaders doing it are Muslims.
I see your buddy Joe hasn’t weighed in on Putin’s remarks. Always with the demonizing, motives etc, not with the truths that he is champening recently.
