Putin has gotten some conservative kudos for recent comments about the importance of Christianity to Western Civilization and for his resistance to the gay agenda. But, apart from that, I think most conservatives realize that Putin is in some ways a thug and not someone we would really want running this country.

As for conservatives "worshipping" Putin, worship of political figures is much more a liberal trait. Every presidential election cycle, the MSM anoint the Democratic candidate as the smartest man in the world, and his wife as the smartest and most beautiful woman in the world. Meanwhile, on FR, virtually every Republican president or presidential candidate or politician seems to have as many critics as fans.

I have yet to see a conservative wearing a Putin t-shirt, but all my life I've seen libs touting people like Castro, Chairman Mao, Che, Hugo Chavez, Ho Chi Minh, Lenin, Marx, and other leftist rogues.

I don’t believe Putin (ex kgber that he is) gives a rat’s patoot about Christianity or the gay agenda, except insofar as he is able to maintain control over those populations.
