A lot of conservatives see Putin as the anti-Obama.

He is everything we wish an American President would be: manly, unapologetic, assertive, defiant and decisive. “No leading from behind.”

Not absurd when you stop to think about it. Obama is a metrosexified wimp.

That's a shortsighted view. Putin is no friend of Liberty either.

At least Putin is straight forward about being no friend of liberty.

Thank you. Just because Obama is a weasel about stealing freedom doesn't mean that Putin is great for just punching people in the face when he enslaves them.

Would you rather lose your wallet to a pickpocket or a mugger? Or would you say: "That's a dilemma for an idiot. I want to keep my wallet."
