I believe I read this article here on FR in the last couple of days. The title was different, but the rest is the same.
The US media continues its diatribes re. the Sochi old style Soviet/Commie system. Maybe its time they start reflecting on the Soviet/Commies within our own government from the top on down.
bingo!!! Obama and all his dimocRAT comrade accomplices merely seek to be a different master, ex most of the freedoms we used to enjoy. Someone on FR posted this quote of Daniel Webster in the past:
Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters.
Bears repeating: . . . but they mean to be your masters
I believe this article says as much about America’s future as Russia’s past. The paths of advancement and decline are long ones, and shaking off the remnants of the long-settled past can takes some time. But the general directions of both nations are clear, and we might soon meet the Russians in the middle as we travel our opposite slopes.
Although the Soviet Union collapsed over 20 years ago, you can't just snap your fingers and change the country overnight (unfortunately). It's impossible to tear down cities and rebuild from scratch overnight.
I first came to Russia in 1992. The place was really screwed up. It is a paradise today compared to back then. Socialism/Communism saps the human spirit. It destroys the ability to think for yourself.
It will take years to undo what the communists spent 70 years doing. Look at how badly Obama screwed up America in 5 years. How long will it take to undo the damage of ObamaCare? How do you get people back to work after being on Government support for 5 years.
That ought to tell us what our perspective should be.
Wake up, folks.
What a deeply stupid article. Will someone explain to me why America needs to be picking a fight with the only major power willing to life a finger to aid Christian (or even human) civilization?
Who’s this Schaus guy working for, anyway?
I started reading this for evidence of commie resurgence and I quickly realized it’s all just wild statements with no facts.
I’d bet $10 the author is homo or homo friendly and is upset the Russians have laws against pushing homo propaganda on children.
One good thing that has come out of the problems with the Russian lodging is that pinkeye took Costos out of my face. Of course, Matt Lauer (sp?) is not a great improvement but an improvement, nonetheless.
The Russia of today is more akin to Tsarist Russia than the USSR
