Its kind of eerie: your hero Obama lecturing Putin on human rights when he was going to inflict bloodshed in his own country on a hapless rancher.
The Russian President asked America to use its inluence with the Maidan leadership to prevent them from massacring their own people. I imagine Obama told him he would send Kiev the BLM on how to do it.
We have a situation thick with irony. Totalitarianism is in evidence not in Russia but in America.
I don’t know why you’d think that disapproval of Putin equates to approval of Obama. Perhaps when a mind is as muddled as that in the first place, one ends up approving of Putin and one becomes a Putinista. I am opposed to both of them; they’re both far from the US Constitution in their views, policies, and actions, and any real conservative views. If you’ve read and thought deeply about government and conservatism through the years, you know that they’re both statist. One of them just throws in some shibboleths as boob bait for Putinista dupes. And yes, Obama doesn’t even pretend to be conservative.
By the way, I’d like to give you another example. I’d assume one could have been a good conservative and have been against both Hitler and Stalin, against Brezhnev and Pinochet, against Castro and against Somoza. Try understanding my position with that in mind, if it’s possible for you.
