Obama, McCain, Lindsee, Wash Post and NY Times all suggest we need to fear and hate - and maybe fight - Putin's Russia
I still haven't seen a good, calmly argued explanation why
If Russia conquered us, would they lower our taxes to Russia's 10 percent flat rate? Would they ensure that orphans get a mom and a dad when they're adopted? Would they end discriminatory laws against traditional judeo-Christian beliefs and practices? Would they stop bureaucrats from persecuting Christian bakers?
The Left might hate Russia for its low taxes and Christian culture, but why must I?
If we publicly criticize an important Russian official here in the US we'll find a syringe of tranquilizers jabbed into our neck?
I'm confused, because the topic of this thread is why we should fear Russia.
So you are a Russian Hacker hiding your real IP address.
Lol. Debating Neocons is becomming useless. They are statist like the Progresso’s, just with different styled clothing. Since the fall of the Soviet Union, they have been scrambling around looking for new enemies to fight. Sorry Boyz but your Ukrainian investments are going bust.
Communism is for the little people. The elite are exempt.
>And if you publicly criticize an important Russian official you might find a syringe of tranquilizers jabbed into your neck.
Is P$ssy Riot dead? They’ve been attacking Putin for ages but the only time they’ve been punished is when they trespassed and desecrated an on going church service. Compare that to the assignation of Seth Rich, the DNC leaker or any other numerous people who did nothing more than cross Hillary.
Yeah, but they're almost as much fun to joust on Free Republic as the leftists. This thread is a prime example. They are desperately trying to hijack it!
C.S. Lewis had a term for it. Bulverism. It seems pervasive aming the left and among Russophobic neocon ventriloquist dummies.
Are you guys suggesting that anyone who disagrees with you on this topic is a neocon?
Are you suggesting that anyone who disagrees with YOU has their IP in Moscow?
Alcoholism rates have decreased in Russia and have increased in the U.S. in the past decade. In the U.S. they’ve increased among whites and decreased among blacks and Hispanics.
“In the U.S. they’ve increased among whites and decreased among blacks and Hispanics.”
Why do you think that is?
Hey COBOL settle down. We’re on the same side (I think). I never suggested anywhere that anyone on this thread was a Russian agent. Read my posts for crying out loud. You only make yourself look silly and weaken your arguments when you resort to name calling. I’ll say it once more, it’s a tactic of children and leftists. Knock it off.
Gee, I don’t know. Communism?
Recycling post #3?
It seems: “Communism?” and “we do not want to be them” is being posted multiple times. I am grasping as to what that could signify.
Understandable in an Eastern Orthodox country. In Italy, which is Roman Catholic, Protestants make up less than. 1% of the population. Protestants aren't the only Christians in the world.
Why do you think that is?
Can't imagine
Neither have the neocons, the CIA, and defense contractors but then I repeat myself.
I’m not romanticizing anything.
The vile, putrid slime that is cultural Marxism is the old Soviet Union’s cold dead hands still polluting the West to this day. They did not have to anticipate every madness the left now embraces, probably couldn’t even fully imagine some (transgenderism come to mind), all they had to do was create a very special sort of useful idiot that would propagate and pervert itself.
What I just described though is different from the revolutionary Marxism’s effect on their culture: they had exceedingly bad ideas but they wanted their system to survive so they avoided some of the same things (like acceptance of homosexuality) that the useful idiots abroad whose function was to tear down their own societies were encouraged to embrace.
So to summarize: communism is as bad as bad can be, as bad as Islam, but communists weren’t necessarily crazy ... that distinction was encouraged for cultural Marxism which is communism’s incestuous love child with Hell.
