Not surprising. KGB thug, control freak, corrupt to the core. The guy's a commie through and through -- always has been, always will be.

Yes, he spend country into deficit, bring in 10 million socialist, expand government growth more then any in 50 years, more regulation, more centralized intelligent control of peoples life, citizens in military jail without accusation, no control of border....oh wait, that is US conservative...

But Putin put down 13% flat tax, ban abortion after 12 week, Christian history/culture taught in school, kill sales tax, balance budget with huge (by Russian economy) surplus invested for future recession and pay off over half country debt, slash vat tax, implement trial by jury and proper property right, and go after corrupt oligarch (who oddly find assylum in West countries...hmmm.....but that is all Soviet aspects, right?

Oh, Putin did all that? Um UM UM he must me a fascist!!

"The breakup of the Soviet Union is a national tragedy on an enormous scale from which only the elites and nationalists of the republics gained,"

And.....

"I think that ordinary citizens of the former Soviet Union and the post-Soviet space gained nothing from this."

Do not blame us true conservatives of the Burkian Right for the failure of the GOP to follow true conservative principles. It is the anti conservative factions of the GOP who are to blame for these things.
