I'm guessing, is this your way of denying that you are nothing more than a 1960s era pro-Russian Communist peacenik flowerchild now cleaned up & come back to lecture Old School Conservatives like me for being somehow "neo-cons", right?
I'm saying, what you have in common with those old flowerchildren is, they were pro-Russian, anti-American, anti-establishment and anti-war.
They supported victory for the bad guys and defeat for the good guys and they accomplished this magical morality transformation by redefining the US as "bad guys" and the actual bad guys, Communist North Vietnamese, as just poor little freedom fighters.
Our 1960s era peaceniks attacked all the same people you attack, especially "the establishment" and international globalists which they called "capitalists" or "big business", but they're the same people.
And of course, they mocked the dominant morality and hypocrisy of societal norms.
Plus, the 1960s were plenty long enough ago that its flowerchildren then -- who wanted "peace, love and rock & roll" -- could easily find today's official morals odd enough to make them squeamish, if not nauseated.
Darksheare: "Ask yourself, why do they want our borders open and ignored while shrieking hysterics about foreign borders and pensions?"
Sorry, but that argument is nonsensical.
No conservative or Republican wants open borders, and everyone should grasp a fundamental idea, that our borders are open for one and only one reason (it's not about the money!!) -- it's because our Democrats want our borders open, period.
Our borders will be closed again once Democrats are removed from political power over them.
This has nothing whatever to do with Ukraine -- zero, zip, nada, zilch, null to do with Ukraine.
Darksheare: "You can draw all the false equivalency you want, it won’t make it true."
You mean between pro-Russian, anti-American, anti-war, anti-globalist peaceniks in the 1960s and today?
Eh.... I agree you guys cleaned yourselves up a little, not so much with the "sex, drugs, rock & roll" anymore, but otherwise... you seem all the same to me.
Darksheare: "But it sure will be shown whether you support America or owe allegiance to foreign powers."
Meaning what, exactly?
Is this typical Russian and Democrat propaganda -- you're going to accuse me of your own bad behavior?
I'd say supporting Ukrainians' rights of independence and self-defense have nothing to do with "allegiance to foreign powers", but insanely supporting Vlad the Invader's "rights" to conquer Ukraine I'd say absolutely does.
Darksheare: "And when I served I sure as hell didn’t swear an oath to any other flag or ideals other than our own."
Nor did I, then or any time since.
For three years I "stood guard" as a NATO soldier in West Germany, near the Fulda Gap, to prevent the Old Soviets from doing in Germany exactly what they are today doing in Ukraine.
My service proved that "peace through strength" works.
Their invasions of Ukraine prove what happens when Russians perceive weakness on their borders.
That's what it's all about, pure and simple, regardless of how cleaned up and seemingly respectable our 1960s flowerchildren have gotten since then.
And we can see, even way back then, they weren't all hippy-chick commune types:.jpg)
