Obama Vs. Putin Who Is The Bigger Tyrant?

I have been watching the Ukraine protests, but as of this minute there seems to be a truce between Russian and the Ukraine, which has been staging protests not unlike America's inner cities - when they did not get their way.

However, there has been less bloodshed in the Ukraine. How did the American Federal Government react when the South rebelled? Not too kindly.A number of states, including California, have devised plans to secede/separate from their respective states. We can pretty much assume that, just as in the American Civil War, the Fed will violently oppose any thought of the separation of states or portions of states.

 I do not understand the motive or cause of the "girl" punk rock group Pussy Riot. They plan to get beaten and arrested, alert the media, and then follow through with getting beaten and arrested to prove -that they can be beaten and arrested?

Obama is CHUMP CHANGE when it comes to tyranny.

Putin, on the other hand, is a PRO at it. But, then, he is Russian and has been in Russian politics for many years.

Putin is a THUG. Obama is a CHILD compared to Putin. Obama doesn't have the personality, brains or backbone to come CLOSE to the "thug-dom" of Vladimir Putin.

Putin By Far.

The U.S.A. Progressives knows Political Violence makes about Zero headway here.

So they do it slowly, with the Legal System.

If the Stormtrooper hammer came down like the Ukraine they would loose 100 years worth of work.

But in the end, the totalitarians always overplay their hand and they end up crashing too.

Obama is a much bigger tyrant. Putin is and has been the same forever. Obama makes it up as he goes along and is a much bigger liar.

Putin is very clearly the best ruler Russia has ever had since Tsar Peter. His only enemies amongst Russians are oligarchs and die-hard commies. Bork Obunga is the worst ruler any advanced state has ever had since Nero.

In pictures...

It's interesting watching this Ukrainian adventure. This is like their 3rd revolution in 10 years....and that's after becoming independent in 1991.

This is not the age of Stalin.

IMHO...These folks are like the ignorant USA folks who think FDR still runs the Dem party.

GOP Governor Candidate Speaks Out Against “Assault Rifles” and “Full Capacity Magazines”

February 21 2014

Share This Post

I’ve always said don’t just vote party lines if you want to protect your gun rights. There are some moderate Democrats, especially in state legislatures, who have been great friends to the Second Amendment. Likewise, there are Republicans who just about as anti-gun as you can be.

Case in point, California Governor Candidate Neel Kashkari made some disturbing comments about the Second Amendment.

According to SacBee,

“If you’re a single issue voter, and you just want someone to give you a full capacity assault rifle magazine, God bless you, you can go vote for somebody else,” Kashkari told a group of college Republicans at California State University, Sacramento. “I’m not your guy.”

“I do know philosophically that I deeply believe in protecting my own gun rights, and that means protecting your gun rights,” Kashkari said. “But I also believe that, you know, we need to be reasonable about things.”

Kashkari spoke broadly against “layering more gun rules on me, on responsible gun owners,” saying additional restrictions will not prevent gun violence or make people safer. But the former U.S. Treasury Department official said he does not oppose waiting periods or background checks, which he said “didn’t inconvenience me in the slightest” when he has purchased guns.

Keep in mind, this is supposed to be the conservative choice for California governor!

Kashkari has been taking a serious beating on his Twitter account, and to his credit he seems to be responding personally to most of the concerns. Although, I don’t think he’s really helping himself.

@2BPatriotic I was responding to a student question. He wanted me to say I would roll back all gun laws. #nope

— Neel Kashkari (@neelkashkari) February 21, 2014

@Shadowsbesideme yes, I am a gun owner myself and will defend all our rights

— Neel Kashkari (@neelkashkari) February 21, 2014

I’m really concerned about the future of California, which I fear before was already too far gone. Now that the so called “conservative” ballot options in that state are also becoming anti-gun I simply don’t know how California residents take back their state.

Despite what Kashkari says, in my opinion, and I’m pretty sure the opinion of most gun owners, supporting waiting periods, banning certain types of weapons, and magazine limits mean that you DO NOT support the Second Amendment. Period. It’s that simple.

Putin takes care of his countries interests. Obama is out to destroy our country. (Intentionally did not phrase is as “his country”)

Want to understand what’s happening in the Ukraine? Try Google searches on “Ukraine Soros” and/or “Ukraine Monsanto”...

What about "Pussy Riot", you ask??

The problem with "Pussy Riot"...

You open the history book under 'G' for "groupies", and you go through the list of guys who've ever inspired groupie or fan phenomena, and you can at least understand most of it: Genghis Khan, Von Richtofen, Roberto Duran, Mick Jagger...

Anybody can understand a teenage girl or young woman going through some sort of a Mick Jagger groupie phase.

But wanting to be a George Soros groupie??? I mean, I'm sorry, that one leaves me cold, I could come closer to understanding being a Richard Nixon groupie....

Soros is active in about 50 countries. That’s what he does. He’s an international businessman.

Soros is an international terrorist and menace. Try picturing some pig like that doing bear raids on the British currency while Churchill was PM of England.....

Hmmm. Hard to say. Russia/USSR has been in shambles for decades so it may be harder to make things worse than they are. The U.S. has had a much faster decline in heading for “shambles” over the past 5 years. Infrastructure in Russia has been shaky for a long time. Infrastructure in the U.S. is headed there pretty quick. In Russia, you have the elite/military and the peons. In the U.S. you have the elite, upper middle class, middle middle class, lower middle class, and then the peons. Looks like the upper, middle and lower are headed toward “peonship” pretty quickly. Most of us know Putin for what he is. Sadly, too many asshats in the U.S. still can’t recognize the “lyin’king” for what he is. Or isn’t. Now, where are those 600 sqft concrete “apartments”?
