Good!

Can’t help but having some grudging respect for ol’ Vlady.

He may be an SOB. but he’s an SOB for Mother Russia.

I profoundly hope that DJT manages to come to some lasting accommodation with the Russkies in his second term. I’d sooner deal with them than the Chicoms, who I see as a byword for treachery.

Government, U.S., Russian, or any other, should have no say in what a marriage is, taxes be damned.

Marriage is a state’s issue for the people of each state to deal with. Marriage is not constitutionally a federal issue, not should it be in any country’s government.

Letting sodomites “marry” might be harmless, but letting them.adopt children is insane.

Society has long disagreed with the position you are espousing.

I wish Putin would say that if the USA puts men in women’s Olympic events, so will we.

Have we put men in women’s events??. If men are in women’s events then the Olympics are over. It will garner viewership like the Oscars. Less and less.

Putin’s 2016 Christmas message. I wish our politicians had this Christian worldview.

The democrats LOVED the Soviet Union. Russia was great in their eyes. Since they dumped communism the democrats HATE Russia.

See what’s going on? One would have to be blind not to.

Marriage is also a private issue that should be governed by LOCAL (individual and or state government), NOT NATIONAL government.

Society disagrees with marriage being a state’s issue?

I don’t think so.

No. Marriage is as public as it gets.

We must not confuse what goes on in a household with what comprises a household.

Like the time I was at a Trump rally in Tampa during the height of the Trump-Russia collusion hoax, some protesters thought they were slick by blasting Back in the USSR over a boom box. I politely asked one of them if they were aware that at the time the Beatles wrote that, whoever put them up to that foolishness not only didn’t have a problem with the Russians meddling in our affairs but actually encouraged it. Nothing but blank stares.
