"He is well-known in political circles as a principled, honest leader, although he was somehow always in the shadow of Yulia Tymoshenko, the jailed prime minister who was released yesterday.
Great developments in Ukraine!
Awesome! Too bad America will never again follow suit.
Bump
Ping! Thought you all might be interested in the latest developments in Ukraine!
And what will he say if the European Union makes ‘gay rights’ a condition of integration?
As a Baptist I speak from the heart ... there are Baptist and then there are baptist. I hope he is a born again Baptist, washed in the blood of Jesus and true to his calling. If so the Ukraine has a chance.
That’s definitely a thumb in the eye of Putin. Russia is trying to outlaw non-Orthdox Chritian denominations.
They booted the commie for a Baptist. Leftists will be unhappy
This so-called “pastor” was the head of ideological department of the Young Communists Union in Dnepropetrovsk back in 1988-90. Nice choice for president of a democratic country....
Welll,, champagne corks are popping in Texas,,,
As a Texan, I knew that Reagan had changed the world, but a Baptist preacher running Ukraine???
I can honestly say that I did not expect that headline.
While the world media was astonished at the mansion of Yanukovich, they media has forcefully omitted mentioning that Turchynov owns the adjoining property to Yanukovich, and that Turchynov’s mansion is also funded by his plundering of the country under Tymoshenko’s reign of corruption.
So, please don’t make this guy into some sort of hero figure on FR. He is just a high level cog in horribly corrupt cabal destroying the Western Ukrainians one bribe at a time.
America is like a drunken blind man in the dark, lurching from one disastrous failure to another, because it has left God. God has moved the lamp stand of His guidance, and we see the results of godless depravity everywhere. But God knows when the end will come, and the faithful will trust Him until then.
So, for the Ukrainians its out of the frying pan and into the fire. Soros and the sodomites in Brussels must be laughing their asses off.
Here's something also interesting...
In August 2007, Turchynov replied to the accusation that his stance on same-sex marriage is typically conservative, "I do not agree. If a man has normal views, then you label him a conservative, but those who use drugs or promote sodomy – you label them a progressive person. All of these are perversions."That's a quote from Wikipedia, so it must be true.;-)
but the real proof will come later when the EU demands that Ukraine embrace the sodomite rights agenda. Then we will see what this has wrought
Oh well . . . now if this guy is a Southern Baptist pastor . . . Ukraine's attitude towards Israel and Jews might improve . . . without going liberal!
