Full title: Russia Signs New Gay Adoption Law

Same-Sex Couples From Countries Where Marriage Legal Not Allowed to Adopt

Russia banned adoptions by single people from countries where same-sex marriage is legal on Thursday, bringing the new measure into law in the middle of a Winter Olympics already steeped in controversy over Russian antigay policies.

Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev signed the decree, which was posted on the Russian government's official website on Thursday. The decree reiterates a ban on adoptions by same-sex couples who are in unions "recognized as marriages and registered in accordance with the...

We’re supposed to be liberal, and believe that there is no difference between homosexual couplings and traditional married couples. And thus, there is supposedly no effect on children raised in homosexual arrangements.

I hear that the son of vociferous lesbian Rosie O’Donnell wants to go to The Citadel, and wants to join the military. Rosie is sad.

I bet Rosie and her ilk will be very sad, when their children turn out to be straight, not gay.

Like Chief Justice Roberts?

Good for them! Russia is striving for righteousness, at least on these issues, while the US is slouching toward Gomorrah.

Russia – our sacred homeland,
Russia – our beloved country.
A mighty will, great glory –
These are your heritage for all time!

Chorus:

Be glorious, our free Motherland,
Age-old union of fraternal peoples,
Ancestor-given wisdom of the people!
Be glorious, our country! We are proud of you!
From the southern seas to the polar lands
Spread are our forests and fields.
You are unique in the world, one of a kind –
This native land protected by God!

Chorus

Wide spaces for dreams and for living
Are opened for us by the coming years
Our loyalty to the Motherland gives us strength.
Thus it was, thus it is and thus it always will be!

Chorus

I'm conflicted by international adoptions. I know people have adopted from other countries and it's been wonderful. I've also know people who did so and brought on a situation that wasn't good for anyone. Putin is correct. It might also be sensible to keep native Russians in Russia, if the nation is to rebuild and not depopulate, just to have the native population replaced by those whacky minorities.

My wife had a co-worker who adopted a boy from Russia. He turned out to have severe emotional disabilities and even violent tendencies. Not sure the prospective parents are told all they need to be told in some cases.

"Expect the screeching from the demonic Left to be deafening."

The truly "demonic" left does not necessarily screech--more often simply whispers a corrupting message into the ears of the susceptible. The screechers are more likely to be the useful idiots, who think it is the function of Government to tear everyone who is capable of rising, down to the most base level.

Incidentally, my current feature at my Conservative resource center is on Variations On Demonic Theme,, which discusses how the same methodology employed to mislead Eve in Genesis, has been applied in virtually all Socialist & Communist attacks on what is morally or economically right.

If it was not for those who quietly insinuate an absurd interpretation of what is "fair," we would never even have the oxymoron of "same sex marriage."

When morality came back to the surface in Russia, it sure came back with a vengeance. It had been smoldering underground for seven decades. So don’t lose heart! Keep the faith! : )

Even more, it is important to look at the fact that both nature and nurture (behavioral examples) can be pushed down generations, and not just genetics. Children have been shown to learn behaviors (binge drinking, drug abuse, anger, violence) from the treatment they get from a parent or significant role model, even when the person is an adoptive or a foster parent.

On the bright side, a person can be helped or encouraged to break the cycle.

What’s to say that children can’t learn sexual behaviors from a parental figure as well?

I think the one fact that people forget about Rosie O’Donnell is that she’s also a conspiracy nut as well.

You answered your own question...

“Even more, it is important to look at the fact that both nature and nurture (behavioral examples) can be pushed down generations, and not just genetics.”

Russia already had a series of Obamas. Lenin, Stalin, Brezhnev, etc.
