The last time we pretended European fascism wasn't our business, we ended up in a pretty big war defeating such.

I'm invoking Godwin's Law here.

Last time I checked, Hitler didn't jail people or vandalizing religious buildings. His guys were the ones doing the vandalizing. Think about it.

Man, you just don't want to get it. You look at Pussy Riot and all you see is OWS, instead of a protest against fascism and an unholy alliance between Putin and the Russian Orthodox Church.

If we had such a situation in this country, would you applaud if a left-winger stood up to such fascism and got jailed for two years, just because you disagree with his politics?

They crossed a very serious line by doing what they did in a church. This made them, without their realizing it probably, the sharp tip of the sword against Christians that is scandalizing the world.

The fact that we don’t like Putin and his treatment of dissidents is almost irrelevant here, except that it has confused the issue enormously.

Does anyone remember the “abomination of desolation standing where it ought not”?
