I don't worship Putin, far from it, I don't want him here.
It's just that he has come down on the right side on several issues recently, while our own president has been floundering or worse.
The term "worship" here is just regular leftist name calling.

"The term "worship" here is just regular leftist name calling."

My observation is that FR-type conservatives are an irascible lot who are not prone to worship ANY political figure. FR conservatives value certain principles, and "conservative" politicians who violate those principles quickly fall out of favor.

The politician who came closest to receiving conservative "worship" was probably Sarah Palin, but when her and her family followed the "celebrity" route after the 2008 election, her image was severely tarnished on FR. I think she has recently shown signs of recovering from that flirtation with celebrity, and may again establish herself as a political force capable of winning office.
