Some people are so put off by our “leadership” that they yearn for a powerful, patriotic and decisive leader. Others, myself included, want a return to the limited federal government envisioned by our founding fathers who put up numerous constitutional barriers to an authoritarian leader.

It seems that one could make 135 comments in less than 12 hours. I know some FReepers could.

Good one, Rusty.

“Obama doesn’t even pay his trolls.”

You mean the DNC, the MSM and the “gimme somma dat” crowd?

Straight out of the Team Barry handbook for engineering a false reality, and to make the opposition feel as though no one else agrees with them.

There is a huge difference, but the question is why on a thread about our enemy Putin and Russia and them manipulating Americans into turning against nation and supporting Russian military goals against us, you guys always jump in to divert to a thread into being against the United States instead?


Historically, moral relativism and diversion are favorite tools of Chekists and their supportors. They use the same tactics because they have the same goals. Weaken the US and projection of US power on the world stage.

As if the US has anything to do with Russians murdering their neighbors periodically. It’s just how Russians roll. Russian psychosis has nothing to do with the US or anybody else.

Such criticisms are best made directly without adding the burdens and discredit of embracing a murderous foreign tyrant.

I know that very well, and it predates my experience with these guys from the 1960s and 1980s, it is a cheap anti-America trick but one which they use.

So what? The U.S. Government does the same thing—and more effectively.

Yep. Of course, he pays them indirectly with diversion of tax monies from the legitimate to the illegitimate roles of government.

Putin, at least, is honest about who he is and what he wants-- him as an absolute dictator and Russia as a revived superpower.

Don’t be so sure of that. Organizing For America and other groups conduct some shady activities.

It sounds like hard work for low pay.

I wonder, in the interests of being politically correct, whether Putin’s Trolls practice male/female wage discrimination?

If Putin is bad, then let’s try to keep the thread about Putin and his trolls that try divert such threads.

Difference being, that when the Dems do it, we complain. No one appears on the thread to claim, “but Russia.” It would be cognitively dissonant.
