I couldn't say anything to sum it up better than this blogger:

Putin is speaking more common sense in three minutes than the west has in the past 50 years. Im from the west, im not Russian, and yet I recognize these truths. I don't know if Putin is good or bad, but everything he is saying makes much more sense to me than Obama or Cameron or anyone, he also looks more trustworthy. I almost can't believe my eyes. Russia is the new beacon of moral and common sense to the world (!!! my emphasis added)

Any word on whether Putin posted that himself, or just someone from the Kremlin?

Putin must be speaking Newspeak, where nothing seems as it is. Otherwise, I’m caught agreeing with a Commie KGB colonel.

He is a strong candidate for Antichrist.

Saying all the good things, but cross him and you’re deader than Vince Foster in Fort Marcy Park.

When Putin talks like this, I keep thinking there must be a way to give him a bully pulpit here. Not for president (there's that natural citizenship thingy) but --- Supreme Court?

Just joking. Kind of.

Totally agree with Putin, though sadly I’ve heard his actions don’t match his rhetoric. My pastor mentioned last Sunday that Putin is trying to shut down Ukrainian Catholic University, which is the first Catholic university to open within the territory of the former Soviet Union. The Ukrainian government doesn’t like it because the University is independent and doesn’t toe the party line. Ukrainian Christians have been protesting the government’s actions, but the Ukrainian government is siding with Putin. Add that to Putin’s aggression action against Georgia (the country, not the state) and it seems that his words are mostly for show.

One thing for sure....he cares a hell of a lot more for his country than Obama does for his own, and he governs like it.

Don’t know about the Antichrist part, but he is certainly seducing Americans, at least, into believing that he is more christian, more freedom loving, and conservative than our own government. He’s a snake. KGB Communists are what they will always be, liars and enemy’s of freedom, particularly ours.

Conservatives falling for Putin could be likened to old time democrats falling for Obama.

Who would have expected an ex-KGB official to defend Christian moral values while we in the West are trying to debase them?

Am waiting for any congress critter, Pub or Rat, to comment on this speech.

Russian president Putin defends Christian culture

Hey Vlad baby, here's a refresher course for you, and pay attention especially to Nos. 6 - 9:

“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me.

2 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My Commandments.

3 “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.

4 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

5 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.

6 “You shall not murder.

7 “You shall not commit adultery.

8 “You shall not steal.

9 “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

10 “You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.”

Che Guevara and Fidel Castro come to mind. That being said, I don't think either of them relied upon the Church for informants in the same fashion the NKVD/KGB did.

Conservatives falling for Putin...

Are disgraceful.

Ask the people of Georgia about Putin's Christianity.

This I’m sure will be criticized by the Gays, Globalists, and Goons of Soros....

Notice fewer posts supporting the Ukraine protestors? One it was revealed Soros and Hanoi John McCain were supporting them...that nonsense disappeared quickly
