“There are illogical conservatives who sadly cannot see that they're being conned by Putin.”

These people (I mean useful idiots, agents are another pair of shoes) apparently do not understand that there is no international conservative front. Putin supports Christianity ? He does support the Moscow Patriarchate as it is basically a department of Russian government, so a useful tool in their hands. Non-Russian controlled Christian churches ? They have more problems operating in Russia than in some of the Arab countries. Putin is against global warming madness ? Right, “green” idiots in Europe are largely financed by the Kremlin. Why ? They are pushing anti-coal, anti-nukes and pro natural gas (until it is Russian of course) agenda in Europe. Eco propaganda + corruption, that's how they made Europe a hostage of Russian gas.

Similarly, during the cold war, majority of those “peace” movements were organized and supported by Kremlin. Soviet Union was spending 30% of GDP on military but clowns financed by them were claiming 4-5% spent by the west was “provocative”. Why ? Make them weak. I wouldn't be surprised if today a lot of homo nonsense or Obama campaign were actually financed by Gazprom. So much for the shirtless “conservative”.

Putin’s queer bait; he wants the attention. Dude is a real pansy.

Would you agree that one of the primary ways of distinguishing between conservative and leftist is tax policy and the size of government they advocate?

Steve Forbes pushed for a flat tax of 17%, which was deemed too extreme by some of his conservative primary opponents.
Politically, it seems to have no chance of passing.

Russia today has a flat tax of 13%.

In light of this key fact, which would you say is more socialist today — Russia or the USA?
