I would like to think an honest man could and would have opposed FDR, Hitler, and Stalin. Maybe you think that a man must be for Putin or for Obama. It’s a strange and very fatuous idea that a conservative American would favor either Putin or Obama. They’re both philosophically and morally at odds with the principles of American conservatism.
I initially responded under the impression that you were giving the characteristics of Putin worshipers. A better phrasing of my response would have been, “Obama worshipers do the same things that were enumerated in your initial post in reference to Putin worshipers. And no, I do not think that a man must be for either or Obama. Thank you for a well thought out civil and enlightening response.
