You seem unable to grasp that criticism of one side is not endorsement of the other. You, and a few like minded folks, seem to think many good freepers have all gone "commie" because we dare question the newly installed government of Ukraine's actions. You toss out terms like Palinista or call others Westboro members. (By the way, you do realize you are a registered member of a website that has one of its key topics the "homosexual agenda"?)
Lighten up Francis-we have different opinions but are on the same team. If Free Republic was around during WW2, I'm sure their would be freepers bad mouthing Stalin's actions...but that would not mean they are supporting hitler.
I'm seeing statements about Putin and his policies that go beyond criticism of the Ukrainians who threw his puppet out. If you don't understand the Westboro Baptist Church comments, you may not understand their mindset. They show up at funerals, especially of soldiers, to rant about fags. In their minds, the victims died because God's mad at America's policies on gays. I've seen similar statements on FReeRepublic where people cheer Putin on because of their belief that the EU is full of gays and for some reason that makes Putin's bullying of Ukraine logical. I see one poster here who always calls the Ukrainians who want to be free sodomites. So that's the type of thing I see that makes me think they're blinded by an outlook on queers that makes anything Putin does okay; it's Westboro logic.
Why don't you question Putin as much as the newly installed government in Ukraine?
If you support Putin and his policies, why would you mind being called a Putinista? If you don't support him, then why would you even bother to defend his policies. I never minded being called a Reaganite.
I believe Ukraine has a right to chart it's own future. I'm anti-Putin. Get used to it. You can post whatever you want, obviously. I'm going to do the same.
