An unfortunate legacy of the Cold War is the negative attitude some American conservatives yet harbor toward Russia. Conditioned for decades to see Russia and the Soviet Union as synonymous, they still view post-communist Russia as a threat. They forget that Tsarist Russia was the most conservative great power, a bastion of Christian monarchy loathed by revolutionaries, Jacobins, and democrats. Joseph de Maistre was not alone among 19th-century conservatives in finding refuge and hope in Russia.
Under President Vladimir Putin, Russia is emerging once more as the leading conservative power. As we witnessed in Russia’s rescue of President Obama from the corner into which he had painted himself on Syria, the Kremlin is today, as the New York Times reports, “Establishing Russia’s role in world affairs not based on the dated Cold War paradigm but rather on its different outlook, which favors state sovereignty and status quo stability over the spread of Western-style democracy.”
In his own Times op-ed on Syria, Putin wrote, “It is alarming that military intervention in internal conflicts in foreign countries has become commonplace for the United States. Is it in America’s long-term interest? I doubt it.” Sen. Robert A. Taft and Russell Kirk also doubted it.
Moscow appears to understand better than Washington that the driving foreign-policy requirement of the 21st century is the preservation of the state in the face of Fourth Generation war waged by non-state entities, such as those fighting on the rebels’ side in Syria. Russia has rightly upbraided Washington for destroying states, including Iraq and Libya.

It’s controlled by liberals. End of story.

Shame on, you! You sound more Marxist than Director of Cultural Marxism himself:)
Spoken like a true liberal democrat. The threat you guys see is ALWAYS coming from the right. Knock it off. Real thuggery resides at Pennsylvania Avenue and in the knockout game Eric Holder refuses to crack down on. Yeah what’s a few whiteys getting their asses kicked guess we really deserve it. According to you guys.
Shame on you for your daily attempts to push Putin and the current edition of Russian Communist agenda down the throats of God Fearing Christian Conservatives.
He is not himself a Cultural Marxist, which appears to be what the hit piece bd476 posted is trying to paint Lind as being. He calls himself paleoconservative or a monarchist
http://www.marylandthursdaymeeting.com/Archives/SpecialWebDocuments/Cultural.Marxism.htm
Why don’t you tell the whole story
Maybe you’re too young but I guarantee you JR doesn’t think Linds ideological partner Paul Weyrich is a marxist
Center for Cultural Marxism is not what it sounds like....at all
Morris Dees and Potok and Berkowitz(no relation to Sam or the dog) at southern poverty law center have it listed as a hate site
They also dump some of our members as haters as well....and may even name us now as far as I know
Lind is a paleo....not a Marxist but nice try....typical
I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess that like most brick throwers here you have personal reasons but lack the courage to say what it is
Maybe you’re more at home at Southern poverty law center since you have IG in for Lind
Not to say Lind is perfect but he draws fire from the right enemies
And his main focus that our culture.... the one that has bound us like gkue for 200 plus years is collapsing is spot on
There is no one size fits all in picking sides but you can at least be honest
Nathan....you are as smart as they come here....Google Lind
“Let’s put aside the disclosures made on this thread by enterprising FReepers who have brought William S. Lind’s Marxist affiliations to our attention”
Lind doesn’t have “Marxist affiliations” anymore than a student of Nazi Germany has “Nazi affiliations”. He’s an historian studying Cultural Marxists in the US.
You all are remarkably casual at painting him with mud without having a clue as to what you are talking about.
Thank God for sanity
I salute you Rhino....I said same further downthread
And smart ....very smart....being misled
Original smear job was personal
Isn’t it always
Man....this at the time for PC wobbliness
Which I suspect is behind this hit
Just like Alinsky....smear and omit the truth

Maybe you remember the little Mormon twit who used to post Southern Poverty Law Center propaganda here at FR to try to shout down any threads against illegal immigration.
He ran with a little gang that tried to get immigration patriots banished. It may have been the same gang that went after you. I know two of them still post SPLC garbage here.
Lol
You beat me by 2 minutes
Lind a Marxist is as absurd a declaration uttered here
And did not stand
That fact is inspiring..
>>>Shame on you for your daily attempts to push Putin and the current edition of Russian Communist agenda down the throats of God Fearing Christian Conservatives<<<
First of all I was joking about your call to censure Wiki, which is known as a perfect collection of BS.
And second, what exactly makes me a communist sympatizer?
This is for sure out of LEFT field. Any Christian worth his/her salt sure ought to know this nation has been blessed because of her acknowledgment from her beginning who gives unalienable 'rights' that no man/government can give or take. What is this so called service of homophobia?
“Lind a Marxist is as absurd a declaration uttered here”
Yes, and whoever posted that crap at Wiki was firing for effect.
Lind is despised by the neocon cabal and that crew has a long history of using character assassination to destroy their paleo opponents. ME Bradford, Sam Francis, Joe Sobran, Pat Buchanan come to mind. When neocon flagship Commentary magazine did their hit piece on Buchanan it was written by the former president of the Young People’s Socialist League, Joshua Muravchik.
You beat me by six minutes on this one..lol
I was watching that Duvall western with the Chinese girls
On apple TV..
As usual...cold...not like Urals but cold
I was in smokies this morning
Blanketed in white stuff
It was a John Boy moment
Isn’t ‘homophobia’ a word coined by the very sort of Cultural Marxists that Lind studies? I know it has absolutely nothing to do with the Constitution, which was ratified by States that had anti-sodomy laws on the books until the Left got them struck down in recent years.

Exactly! Here goes ‘racism’, ‘sexism’ scream on any issue.
Homophobia goes along with the leftist rant against conservative; bigots, racists and homophobes. And it has been spewed out and about since the 80's by the looney left. I know because I have a bat-poo sibling that I can still hear ranting these words. History is on our side though, God is in control and He is the one that said sewer play was/is an abomination.
And if my memory serves me it was a Texas case that the ungodly supremes used to make 'sodomy' a right. And the sewer has overflowed ever since.
