Too bad Comrade Dictator President Obama is nearly as guilty as the past Soviet Union and would be just as guilty if he could ever take total one party control as he wishes.

Maybe our fine “freedom fighters” should be more concerned about what happened to our exceptionalism.

NSA spying on the people - exceptionalism

Federal agencies deliberately working to smother “dangerous” political thought - exceptionalism

An ever growing bureaucratic fungal mat smothering entrepreneurship and crushing all will to strive or achieve - exceptionalism

Cradle to grave indoctrination of the communist party line in schools and ever growing social agencies - exceptionalism

Elected officials getting fabulously wealthy by legislating financial advantages for themselves - exceptionalism

Companies and unions buying influence with elected officials who legislate financial advantages for all 3 - Exceptionalism

Pedophile congressmen getting away with sleeping with underage prostitutes - exceptionalism

30 million + illegal aliens overrunning the country unchecked for someone elses political and financial gain - exceptionalism

Billions in foreign aid to nations that hate us - exceptionalism

Billions spent on pipe dream green energy scams that produce no energy and drive up costs - exceptionalism

Elected officials openly contemptuous toward the people who elected them - exceptionalism

I saddens me to say but in many ways Putin is right. We are not the exceptional people we once were. With very few exceptions, all of our exceptionalism has either been outsourced overseas, dumbed down by our defective self loathing education system, or regulated into extinction. Our youth can boast of being the fastest texters and the dumbest asses in the developed world. We are quickly becoming an entitlement nation where it is better to take than to make. The truth hurts. God help us.

Duh. So the person who wrote the letter did not even realize Putin himself concluded his letter with the meme that god created people equal ? Epic fail and more proof we are no longer an exceptional people. You cannot even use our own words against us, since we can no longer even remember them.

After being a commie hater all my life, why do I feel a certain respect and kinship with the president of Russia?

These are indeed weird times............
