Why Are American Conservatives Praising Putin? I mean seriously? You have to ask?
Putie ain't perfect. But he is far better than Obammie in every way.

We wouldn’t have known about NSA transgressions without Snowden. Not that its going to change anything . . .

I think most of it is just a wistful longing for past days when the President of the United States loved and defended his country.
To: MetaThought
Because they wish we had a leader like him.

Miss Cathypants could have asked, "Why is Obama friends with Bill Ayers, or why is Obama sponsoring agents of terror in the Middle East", but noooooooooo.

Because Putin’s values are closer to traditional America than are Obama’s.

Putin is more intelligent and civilized than Obama.

Apart from Obama, name me one American authoritarian you admire.

Conservatives aren’t praising Putin, but they are marveling at how much better off we’d be if he were President instead of Obama.
We’re just looking at America through the funhouse mirror glasses that Obama is wearing, and we don’t like what we see.
To: MetaThought
Becuase President Bad Ass seems more fitting that “Presently Poosy”.
Which would you want?
A President that can be counted to act out on his previous patterns, with certitude or one that can’t make up his mind, often changing tables before he seats himself at the dinner table and again after the food has been served?

Bingo. We’re comparing him to the Kenyan.

Why Are American Conservatives Praising Putin? I've never understood it either. Putin is a murderous thug dictator presiding over a banana republic.

However, not lending even partial endorsement to a thuggish regime that targets an unpopular minority for political advantage should be a no-brainer.You got it, Ms Young. You're talking about Obama's regime, aren't you?

No, not really. It’s tough to be worse than KGB. I harbor a pet theory than Obama covertly is an employee of Putin et al. But even if that isn’t the case, you can never really trust a Klingon, no matter how much they tidy up.
