No Same-Sex Marriage to be Legitimized in Russia as Long as I am President - Putin
Interfax ^ | 2/13/20

Posted on 02/14/2020 6:06:14 PM PST by marshmallow

Novo-Ogaryovo, February 13, Interfax - Russian President Vladimir Putin said that as long as he remains in office, Russia will not legitimize same-sex marriages.

"As concerns Parent No. 1 and Parent No. 2, I've said publicly some time ago, and I'll repeat once again now: as long as I am president, we won't have parents number one and number two, we will have Mom and Dad," Putin said at a meeting with members of a working group for preparing constitutional amendments on Thursday.

State Duma deputy Olga Batalina said at the meeting that the working group had received numerous proposals on stipulating the notion of traditional family in the Constitution.

Only ten years ago, nobody could have imagined that the words mom and dad could be gradually ousted by the notions of parent No. 1 and parent No. 2, while this has "become a reality in some countries," Batalina said.

"This is what prompted some authors sending their amendments to us to propose that the Constitution stipulate that a family is a union of a man and a woman," she said.

Putin replied that such wording is questionable.

"You've said a family is a union of a man and a woman. What if this is an incomplete family? What then? Let's pinpoint some things. A marriage is a union of a man and a woman, but it's slightly different when it comes to a family," he said.

While the idea itself is right and should be supported, "we should think how this should be worded and where," Putin said.

Presidential Children's Rights Commissioner Anna Kuznetsova told Interfax that she believed it was "important to adopt a constitutional amendment stipulating legal foundations of a marriage as a voluntary family union of a man and a woman, which is a well-timed measure aimed at preempting the distortion of notions."

Oh now he done did it. He can murder journalists, steal the wealth and imprison any opposition to his rule, invade Crimea, shoot down a civilian airliner, yadda yadda yadda. But to claim that a family is made up of a mother and a father, that’s gone too far.

Sigh. I have lived too long.

Imagine going to maybe 1963 or 1955 America and trying to explain what's going on.

"Yes I said the crazy old guy who had his honeymoon in Moscow and is a socialist/communist is the current frontrunner for president as a Dem." "The young former mayor is 'married' to another man and is second."

"Marijuana is legal by the vote of several states." "A group of disgruntled Democrats tried to unseat the GOP President in a coup."

"The halftime football show on TV showed much worse nudity and obscenity than the twenty girls being handcuffed and put into the police van at closed down burlesque house downtown." "Cup of a popular type of coffee is around $5 instead of a dime."

You missed quite a few things which would blow the mind of a 1955 American:

The President of Russia is promoting Christian revival in his country, and we are trying to destroy them.

Whether you love him for standing up for Russia, or hate him for invading Ukraine, Putin makes it clear where he stands.

There can be no doubt any more—the goal of US foreign policy is to make the world safe for perverts. :-(

Yes, in listing outrageous and unbelievable things by Dems I narrowed the list down to avoid using up all the bandwidth for FR.

Funny if it turns out Putin’s Russia really is a place to go to avoid the extreme Communist domination in the 2021 United States. /s

"Marijuana is legal by the vote of several states."


I guess you don't know that marijuana wasn't fully banned until 1970?

Thank you for your point of fact.

However, I hope that didn't spoil the pleasure to all which I intended to give in my otherwise lighthearted satire.

Best

Ha yea the rest of the post was certainly amusing. It would be interesting to make that part of the primary process: once a week/month, each candidate is assigned a random issue of the day, and they have to do a five to ten minute explanation to old-time Americans (17/1800s) explaining both sides of it, and why they support which side. No help from aides or other staff, they have to show, themselves, that they can understand the issue and at least half-ass an explanation.

That's impossible for non Trump ones. Biden would ramble and babble and forget the question. Sanders would mention the obvious classism and racism of the pre-Marxist America. Remember Obama could never say "Hi, how are you?" without cue cards, a staff feeding answers and a Telepromter that worked. "All 48 states of the union" was one of his ad libs.
