Jim has asked you Bidenistas to stop doing that, but here you are calling an American conservative a “Putinista.” Don’t you have any respect for the owner of this site?

“We are conservatives. Be respectful to your debate adversary (fellow FReeper). For example, do not accuse them of being a ‘Putinista,’ ‘comrade,’ ‘murderer,’ ‘baby-killer,’ etc, just because he may have a difference of opinion whether or not the US government should be involved in a controversial foreign war where we were not attacked.” -Jim Robinson

We are conservatives.

As a conservative myself, I remember that we were on the side of those that were not communists or that did not support communism. Russia may not be the same as the old USSR, and not entirely the same as the old communists. But, Russia remains the aggressive country they were in the past, and moving in with an invasion of its neighbor(s) is aggression. As a conservative, I cannot approve or condone Russia's actions against any of its neighbors. Though Biden is the one at the moment lending support to Ukraine, I'm pretty sure that even Trump would be lending our support to Ukraine. I'm the complete opposite of Biden, and would never support anything coming from his administration, but I do support the fight by Ukraine against its aggressive neighbor.

Being conservative does not mean that I or any of us are correct in every issue that comes our way where the 'enemy' is democrat or democrat-like. I fought alongside democrats in Vietnam, and I didn't care what their political views were. I don't care about political views, as long as we are on the right side of the issue. Supporting Biden is the wrong side of the issue, but, there are times when it's not just about opposing him on everything. I support Ukraine, and the U.S. is the only ally that can do that right now. So, even some republicans are on the side of Putin, which to me, is a complete embarrassment and against the principles that make us conservatives.

Sorry if people feel 'attacked' but, I'm just being a complete conservative as I understand conservatism.

BTW, I noticed that my posting history has been removed as of 2 days ago, so, is that the way that the conservative FR treats people that might have opposing opinions by fellow FReepers? Freedom of speech apparently has its limits within conservatives sites too.

Isn't that being hypocritical? Calling fellow conservatives "Bidenistas".
