“When the Russians are right on an important issue like this and the US is dead wrong.., and we wonder why so many people no longer give a crap!”
Name me one other issue russians are on the right side of.
Democracy? Freedom? Individual Rights? Property Rights? Freedom of the Press? Freedom of Religion?
Muslim countries also ban gays. Should they be praised?
I believe Castro was anti-homo. Didn’t admire him.
Personal freedom, individual and property rights? With asset forfeitures, the NSA domestic spying, homeland security check points, operation Jade Helm, and the great DC uni-party collusion scam, we can see where that`s rapidly going in this once great REPUBLIC.
As for freedom of the press, do you mean the gaggle of progressive enablers known as the MSM?
And that very same gay mafia is rapidly taking care of any freedom of religion, so what`s your point?
And before you try the old ‘you don`t like it, get out’ crap, I am not going anywhere, try making me!
You can live in your fantasy bubble, but at least I won`t ‘go along to get along, this once great REPUBLIC is all but dead, killed by traitors known as the Democratic and Republican Parties.
Did you read this little tidbit? http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/06/05/exclusive-sessions-to-obama-why-are-you-keeping-obamatrades-new-global-governance-secret/
I can think of a couple
Radical Feminism (see Pussy Riot incident. Putin said they “undermined moral foundations” of the nation, and “got what they asked for” (imprisonment)
Abortion - advertising banned, no operations after 12th week, two to seven day waiting period, bonuses offered to encourage births (one-time $13,000)
Multiculturalism and reverse discrimination - Google “Putin and” these terms (hint: he’s against)
Militant Secularism - Putin: “Policies are being pursued that place on the same level multi-child family and same sex partnership, a faith in God and a belief in Satan. this is the path to degradation.” Google Putin and Religion” and “Putin and Russian Orthodox Church.”
Sovereign Debt - Putin has paid down the Russian state debt to 11% of GDP v. 106% for US.
Welfare spending - Putin: European countries have been “living beyond their means” and are now witnessing the rise of a “dependency mentality . . . [that] endangers not only the economy but the moral foundation of society.”
Flat tax - Russia has a flat tax of 13% v. US Marxist progressive taxation. (Russia also has lower corporate income tax)
Global Warming - Russia opposes global warming nonsense; US promotes it.
Russia is a democratic country with considerable freedom of expression, property and individual rights, and more freedom of religion than you will find in the US.
The truth, sadly, is that today Russia is the leader of the international Right and the US/EU lead the International Left - just the opposite of Cold War days.
