SOCHI, Russia (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin says gays should feel welcome at the upcoming Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, but they must “leave the children in peace.”
Putin told volunteers Friday that gays visiting Sochi “can feel calm and at ease,” and vowed that there would be no discrimination at the games. But he emphasized that, according to a law banning homosexual “propaganda” among minors, gays cannot express their views on gay rights issues to anyone underage....

I’ve always thought that Christianity needed ugly, rough, un-Christian-like men to defend Christians. The morality involved is beyond my ken, but the lamb needs the shepherd and the shepherd needs the sheep dog, and the sheep dog needs teeth.
Rudeboy, you don’t get it.
Americans are sick and tired of mamby-pamby leaders like Obama, CLinton and the Bushes. At least Putin is a guy I can respect. The last presidents I had respect for were Teddy Roosevelt, Calvin Coolidge, and Ronald Reagan. The rest of America’s 20th century Presidents were a pack of damn loosers.
So Obama bad, Putin good works for them.
authoritarianism
Oh, I get it. Some people need authoritarism in their lives. But just the kind they prefer.
This coming from the FRs (and DUs) biggest supporter of COMMUNIST CHINA....
And you are the internets biggest supporter of pederasty, so I urge everyone to take your last comment with a grain of salt.
Sometimes it takes the rough hewn to do the right thing
I am more dismayed that a lot of Putin’s critics have no problem continuing pushing America doing business with Communist China...which is totally anathema to American Christian values...
In fact, Communist China is a one party totalitarian state that severly restricts Christianity. Yet, we have folks on here who defend Communist China more than they defend Freedom
And you are the internets biggest supporter of pederasty, so I urge everyone to take your last comment with a grain of salt.
Again, coming from the biggest supporter of COMMUNIST CHINA. Give it up. You look like a Pinko attacking Putin
Is that what set you off? I dared to question your comrade, and Hero of the Soviet Union?
All this ruckus reminds me of the line of defense one often reads of young privileged Americans accused of murder in foreign countries: “she may be a murderess, but she’s our murderess.” Obama is a communist, but he’s our Communist. And no, by the way, trains in Russia don’t run on time. Gotta educate oneself before speaking out.
I’ve ridden Russian trains, but thanks, anyway.
Where did I speak out?
Since when do responses to post #1 are personal responses to the thread starter?
“I don’t know how Nixon could have been elected, I don’t know anyone who voted for him!” — Pauline Kael.
“Where ever you go, there you are.” —Buckaroo Bonzai
“Be here now!” — Baba Ram Dass (Richard Alpert.)
If it were a reality, electionwise...I’d vote for Putin over the bastard.
2nd post I’ve just seen saying pedophiles are 30-35% homosexual. Do you mean 30% of pedophile cases are against boys, or do 30% of them identify as homosexual in their sex life? If it’s against boys, how do the pedophiles sexually identify? Because if 30% of pedophiles are homosexually identified, homos are screwed.
Oh, Lord!
Me too. Even Ms. Bastard - Hillery.
