Except George Weigel is a conservative Catholic who promotes Christian heritage and culture. Which is probably why you don’t like him, considering your vehement hostility towards Christianity.
“I’m on America’s side.”
By supporting Al Qaeda... John McCain’s platform summed up right there.
McCain is a war hero compared to your mancrush Putin, who never fought in any war but loyally served the secret police who oppressed his own people.
You show our soldiers who Assad maimed and killed in Iraq as much respect as you show McCain. Did you serve? Are you even an American? I strongly doubt it.
Where in the world did that come from? I actually thought we were friends.
I admit I didn't read the article but rather reacted to the thread title. I've been waiting for an excuse to point out liberal hypocrisy on "anti-government" movements (foreign vs. domestic) for a long time, saw your thread title, and just foolishly assumed it was liberal and used it as an excuse to vent. I apologize for my mistake.
Protestants are anti-Catholic. Catholics are anti-Protestant. Eastern Orthodox are anti-both. And everyone is anti-moslem and anti-mormon. Why is my arguing against what I sincerely believe to be a false religion (and from the Right, never from the Left) so much worse than anyone else defending his religion and challenging others' here?
I admit I'm not a big fan of civilizational or cultural religion of any kind. I've always been too big a fundie for that. It's either true or to heck with it.
A birth conspiracy? Really? Are you secretly Ukrainian perhaps?
I don’t support Al Qaeda at all, in any capacity. You admittedly do. Perhaps you might want to reflect on 9/11. I know that was just civilians, but they were pretty important too... and while I respect McShame’s war record, the man is a despicable SOB, and I think 90% of Freepers would agree with that.
I just hope you’re consistent, so when Golden Dawn occupy offices in Greece or Jobbik occupy offices in Hungary and try to overthrow the government, you send cash to them too.
And with that, I’ll leave you to argue with yourself.
Your buddy Alex Jones has some pretty interesting theories about 9/11, you should check them out. snicker.
It’d be much better to let the EU take over, Last time they ran Ukraine it was awesome I hear.
“I support Al-Qaeda killing Assad,,, “
LOL,, off the rails there. So McLame supports Al Qeida. And its all fine with you. Amazing and funny.
Ukraine is raising it voice. Yanukovich is a twice convicted felon and a Russian toady. He needs to go. Ukraine needs to reduce corruption clean up its justice system and improve other socio-political issues as well.
The key here is that Ukrainian nationalism is on the rise. Eastern or western Ukraine doesn’t matter the people self identify as Ukrainians. The don’t like the Russians much and for good reason. They are suspicious of Euro influence too. They want more trade with the EU not to join up
East and West matter a great deal. The "Ukraine" is effectively two separate countries. The Western Ukraine is entirely Ukrainian speaking predominantly Catholic with close cultural ties to Poland. The eastern Ukraine is mostly Eastern Orthodox with many people who speak better Russian than Ukrainian. They have always been culturally more oriented towards Russia (Kiev was historically Russian).
As long as you have this situation, there will always be a tug of war between Europe-oriented Ukrainians in the west and Russia-oriented Ukrainians in the east.
Incidentally, those Ukrainians who think that they'll get a better deal or more freedom from EU "soft power" than the more open and brutal hard power of Putin are in for a surprise. The former is more insidious (and in many ways harder to resist) than the latter.
Yes eastern Ukraine is more Russo oriented but they have no desire to join up again. As to religion, western Ukraine has many Polish descendants, but the predominent religion of the country is eastern orthodox church as initiated by the Byzantines for Prince Vladimir. That is why the statue of Svetoi Mikhail stands on Kreschatik street.
Had. The Soviets kicked them out and most moved to the parts of Poland gained from the Germans.
Not before the Ukrainian Nazis nationalists murdered thousands of Polish peasants in their villages as part of an ethnic 'cleansing' operation. The descendants of this scum make up Ukraine's Svoboda militants who today are trying to destabilize the elected government of Ukraine.
Yes, I have brought up the name Stepan Bandera several times on the Ukraine threads.
What’s interesting is that Stephan Bandera was actually being held in a German prison camp in 1944 when the Ukrainian nationalist paramilitary carried out the Polish massacres. His counterpart Mykola Lebed led the nationalist faction in his absence and carried out these atrocities.

So the CIA has duped al qaeda jihadists into attacking America’s shiite enemies aligned with Iran, and you think that’s a bad thing? The reason you feel that way is because your loyalty is not to the USA, but to Russia. You have no problem supporting shiite jihadists if they are Russia’s allies, but when America turns the tables on Russia gives them a dose of their own medicine, then Putinistas like you whine and cry foul. You hate the CIA but you have no problem at all with the KGB. According to your anti-American Neo-Soviet narrative, Chris Stevens deserved to die because he was a bad guy arming Russia’s enemies.
