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.

That’s Jim’s quote you’re arguing with. Maybe take it up with him?

I shouldn’t have to keep pointing this out, but being opposed to the current corrupt regime in DC sending billions and billions of our tax dollars to a known money-laundering operation with no audit trail or accountability to the American citizens does not put us on the side of Putin.

It is quite acceptable and reasonable to see Putin, Zelensky and Biden all as corrupt scumbags.

You might want to take that up with Jim or the Moderators. I do not have the ability to remove posters’ history. I have no administrative powers/abilities here. I was merely pointing out that the owner of this site has asked you all to stop calling fellow FReepers names like “Putinista.”
