It is a sad day indeed, when the president of Russia is the one defending traditional values, and the president of the US is trashing them...

[willywill]

for the last couple of years, joking aside, I’ve been trying to find where I disagree with putin.

[Greetings_Puny_Humans]

Putin’s full of it, of course. He’s not “conservative” when he divorces his wife on the grounds of their not being married in a church. He’s not “conservative” when he has his enemies thrown from windows, people beaten in dark alleyways so that they can never walk again. He’s a killer and a thief, and nothing more.

VP has more cred than Zer0.

Putin is doing what is in Putin’s interest. Americans that look up to him are truly lost.

Confusing times we are living in.

Conservatives used to support the police and hated the Russkies.

Now, many on the right loathe the police and voice support for Russian dictator Putin.

Really, I know Putin says he supports conservative values, but he is just a smart ex-commie.

From an ex-KGB chief who thinks the biggest tragedy of the 20th Century was the death of the Soviet Union.

“Conservatism” doesn’t mean the same thing in Europe as here. Over there a traditional conservative means a statist.

We probably know more about Putin's background then we know about Obama's

[The Toll]

I’m not a fan, but I don’t think he hates or wants to kill the majority of Russians. That’s better than we’re doing over here.

In desperate times people turn to leaders.

Please people, lets get something straight. Putin was the head of the KGB. In the end, no matter what he says, he is not our friend. Let’s also keep in mind that for 70 years the official state religion of Russia was atheism. This guy is not the defender of the faith. He is a master of positioning himself. That is all.

While we may agree with him on his traditional values preaching and against gay marriage. We certainly disagree with his oppressing any peoples rights or persecuting them such as gays. The only thing I will compliment Putin on is that he is more of a man than our metrosexual President. Sad day indeed....

[GeronL]

He is not a “conservative” by our standards

[LowTaxesEqualsProsperity]

Putin is trying to save his country.

Obama, Rats and many Republicans are destroying theirs. What they have done is infinitely more destructive than all of the “bad things” Putin has ever done.

[Nifster]

and the simple answer is NO and HE$% NO… This murdering bastard is no conservative and I won’t follow him anywhere

[clearcarbon]

"The Russian president is positioning himself as the world's leading defender of traditional values"

Islam needed a new role model - or target.

[ThePatriotsFlag]

Ask yourself...as a PERSON, whom do you respect more, Putin or Obama?The response would surprise many.

[mware]

Don’t be fooled by Putin. He is a wolf in sheep clothing.
