A lot of conservatives see Putin as the anti-Obama.
He is everything we wish an American President would be: manly, unapologetic, assertive, defiant and decisive. “No leading from behind.”
Not absurd when you stop to think about it. Obama is a metrosexified wimp.
Oh, yes . . . it is absurd. Humorous that FReepers have a mancrush on Putin, but if Buchanan does I guess it’s “ok.”
The majority in the Ukraine that are rioting are pro Russian.
Who are we to go against this. Zer0 doesn’t like it because it goes against his Marxist lifestyle.
Mr. Putin is reasserting Russia’s Christian identity which makes the EU queers and neocon bobble heads queasy.
“A lot of conservatives see Putin as the anti-Obama.He is everything we wish an American President would be: manly, unapologetic, assertive, defiant and decisive.”
Anybody who believes this to be true lacks a basic understanding of conservatism and historical perspective.
Conservatives despise tyrants.
An Imperial Tsar? Count me out. I'd prefer someone like Reagan.
Its the same kind of respect that one could say about Pelosi, sure she is a radical and uber liberal, but she fights for her constituents, unlike Boehner, who fights against his constituents.
“He is everything we wish an American President would be: manly...”
So much homoeroticism. What we need is a constitutionalist moral person, not some squat Napoleon complex ex commie dictator wannabe bully who will eventually responsible for murder of hundreds of thousands of his own fellow countrymen.
