I see Pravda is reverting back to it’s old ways.
Not too fond of Putins politics but at least he is a man,
Not a wall flower fag like obammy
he is an enigma. I am not sure what his politics are, except the politics of Putin remaining leader of Russia and a world leader.
He talks the talk and walks the walk. He is a REAL MAN....which is something we have not had in the oval office for 4+ years. and I am not putting Bush up on a pedestal as a president...only as a MAN.
That’s because Putin is doing a better job of watching out for our interests.
From the article -
However, when they watch Obama destroying their own country with no hero to save them they become frustrated and look to Putin. Although they hear the same mantra from their TV that Putin is a dictator, Putin is evil, Putin is a murderer; from the internet they see him kneeling at Christ’s Holy Sepulcher which Obama never does when visiting Jerusalem. They see him going to church when they know Obama favors Muslims. They see Putin establishing laws to protect the church and laws against homosexuality. This they admire and this brings them hope. Hope in their crazy world where there is a leader willing to follow Christ. They have no Reagan but they see Putin whom they wish was their president. They write me,
“One of my fantasies is to kidnap Vladimir Putin and make him the leader of the US.” - Jim
“The fact that Putin allows Christianity is an AMAZING thing, while Christians, true ones, are persecuted in anti christ America.” - Robert
“Putin has encouraged the nation of Russia to return to spiritual values, whereas the US. is going in the opposite direction. “ - Glen
“It is a shame that it takes someone from Russia to speak the truth that our media refuses to do. The reason they don’t is because they are communists themselves. “ - Steve
Putin just threw over his wife of many years for some acrobat. Give me a break about how devout he is.
Umm, I don’t trust Putin at all.
I think this article misses the mark on American Christians. I certainly have never held any ill feeling towards the Russian Orthodox Church, and have never witnessed such feelings from anyone else. In fact, I greatly admire the Church for what it has done in Russia. It’s survival is a testament to the power of our Lord.
I don’t trust Putin, but I don’t really trust ANY foreign leader. Heck, I sure as hell don’t trust our foreign leader, Barack Hussein Milhaus Obama! I’d say that to distrust leaders is very healthy and the Founders encouraged it.
With regards to Christianity vis-a-vis Russia/America. Yes, Russia is becoming a safe haven for Christians while America is turning into the United Soviet States of Sodom, or the USSS.
When compared to obama, Putin seems to be a rational individual and a leader.
But I still would not trust him, anymore than I would trust obama.
I don’t so much TRUST Putin as RESPECT him.
Whereas I neither trust nor respect Obama. . .
"Most Americans are Protestant and do not see the Orthodox faith as valid. Many think little of Catholics and see the Orthodox faith as being worse."
The disease of decadence has brought American Christians together, respecting one another as Christians, as never before.
I don’t admire one fascist over another just because Putin appears stronger. This is bull crap.
Putin is about the same as a Mafia thug. He will do whatever it takes to get what he wants — lie, steal, kill, torture, subvert democracy. You may need to be a “tough guy” or a “man’s man” to do those things, but that certainly doesn’t make him admirable. And sure, he may be religious and people may find his defense of religion admirable, but a lot of Mafiosos went to church on a regular basis too.
"American Christians do not respect Christianity in Russia. Most do not know the churches are open and are very beautiful."
Americans tend to view the power of Christianity in Russia as proof of the triumph of truth over atheism, of goodness over evil, and of the Russian people over communism and totalitarianism, and the beauty of Russian churches is legendary throughout the world.
Perhaps we like Putin (even when he is a pain) because he is unabashedly pro-Putin, and pro-Russia in a way we wish our own president would be?
I respect Putin - he’s a real man, and he’s loyal to his country. I trust Putin a whole lot more than I trust the communist in our White House. Putin will act against America’s interests about half the time, and the drug-addled thug from Kenya/Hawaii/Indonesia/Chicago will act against our interests twice as often. Putin lies smoothly but tells the truth unless there is a reason to lie. Our Dear Leader only tells the truth on rare occasions.
