If that is your belief, then you a truly and hopelessly lost to reality and unappreciative of the liberties enjoyed by U.S. citizens. Russia has never such a breadth of true freedoms yet. They have had some tastings of freedom, but only a bare ghost of it. That is not just my opinion, but it is the opinion of many Russian immigrants I have known.
“If that is your belief, then you a truly and hopelessly lost to reality and unappreciative of the liberties enjoyed by U.S. citizens.”
Russia has been moving in the right direction, we have been moving in the wrong direction.
So let me ask you straight up. Forgetting for the moment that we are talking about a former KGB agent and an anti American Muslim, If you had the choice of Putin or Obama to lead our nation (and that was your only choice), who would you choose?
Really? been there? I was many times in the 90s and I am here to tell you they have a lot more freedom than we do. They live in a utopia in fact. There is no child protective services to tell them how to raise their children, so when the school had a holiday, the kids mostly ran free and various people in the apts looked after them off and on. There are no animal services folk to tell you how many pets you can have and what kinds of licenses you are required to purchase. You can do all the additions and construction and changes you want to your OWNED property, and no one charges you a fee or makes you fill out forms to get approval. The Russians actually believe in property rights. Amazing I know.
You want to hear more? Let me know. They have a flat tax and freedoms that disappeared from this country a long time ago.
