The lefties showed up and made sure that this thread was about nothing.

Russian leaders had their American groupies in the 1980s, 1970, and 1960s, and all the way back , so it is nothing new to have some of them here, even on FR.

Just let it be a reminder that the grovelers and peace niks never change.

Bearing in mind that (and sticking with the Obama-relativism of which people are so fond), Obama used to be opposed to gay marriage. What did you think of him, then?

Huh?

Russia should be governed by “saints” regardless of what’s going on here and of course the opposite holds true.


The founding of this nation was credited on the divinity of the creator, but I have no idea what Russia was founded on.

What does BTW mean?

Bork Obunga is merely “Putin-lite” (as in “Bud-lite”).

They are of the same left-wing cloth. Marxists. Obama is a wannabe communist, but Putin is the real thing. Both Obama and Putin are pathological narcissists too.

And, by the way, in terms of socioeconomic policy, Bork Obunga and Hitler were of the same left-wing cloth:

“We are socialists, we are enemies of today’s capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions.”

—Adolph Hitler, 1938
—Barack Obama, 2014

(Hitler was a Democrat).

Putin is crazy?

Perhaps.

But he figured out the most important part of staying in power.

When you have nuclear weapons, the rest of the world won’t mess with you.

By the way, some of the numbers quoted by the author are absurd.

$50 billion spent on the Olympics? $20 billion spent on the World Cup?

Even if that’s true, how could anyone outside the Russian Treasury make a verifiable estimate?

I did not like him then either, I voted for the other pawns both times.

Cain was one of my choices and possible the best one in 2012.

That should explain why I did not vote for Obama.

Monsters can come from any direction and under any name.

Hitler was considered on the right because he hated communism, but communism does not make me love dictators and dictators does not make me love communists.

In other words, you looked at the totality of Obama's qualifications. Why not with Putin?

It's the same old 1960s idea of tagging everything one disapproves of as insane.

It provides an easy way of condemning one's enemies but doesn't really have much to do with psychopathology.

Look at the system that produced Putin and that he functions in, or the game he's playing, or the presuppositions and principles he works under, rather than simply throwing around the word insane.

That doesn't make him any better a person than the writer thinks he is, but it does describe Putin in a more substantial way.

Because Putin was not running for president or anything else in this country.

All you appear to be doing is disqualifying yourself from commenting about Putin at all.

Yep, you got that right, it is what is happening here which concerns me first.

After we get straightened out which is very doubtful maybe I can start bashing the hell out of Putin.

Authoritarians, totalitarians, monarchs....all come from the left. There are leftists to the right of Pol Pot and Kim Jung Il, but they’re still leftist.

Nazi was short for “National Socialist Workers Party” The National Socialists.

I see no indication that Hitler had a deep appreciation for the “right wing’s” individual rights/limited government philosophy, but he certainly did engage in “social engineering” didn’t he.

And ska-rew that fraudulent “circle graph” that’s just a sales gimmick to promote socialism.

Putin is against homosexual marriage, is that being right wing or left wing?

Hitler was against men becoming feminine, is that right wing or left wing?

The conservatives today will call Hitler liberal and the liberals will say he was conservatives.

There is no such thing as right or wrong it just depends on what party says it.

I vote conservative, not because I agree with everything but it is just to keep the stinking liberals out.

I see no indication that Hitler had a deep appreciation for the “right wing’s” individual rights/limited government philosophy,>>>>>>>>

That is right, he was only for power any way he could get it.

I have heard the same thing, but be careful if you try it as a fall could hurt you.

Imagine if those people happened along an Obama thread. Yes, I know that they are rare here.

Rather odd, isn't it?
