I cannot say the same about Barack Hussein 0bama, who is little different than Putin in his vision for domestic politics

I don't know about that. The Russian Army has Orthodox priests as chaplains. He seems to understand the nature of Mohammedanism. And he seems hostile to the homosexual radicals.

True. My post was primarily directed to his stifling of internal dissent and the “monitoring” of his people. As for the things you listed above, I’m not sure how much these are cherished personal beliefs, or merely recognition that they are threats to the power and interests of the state and therefore are to be opposed. Which goes to show that he promotes the interests of Russia by keeping the rot out.

Obviously you aren’t a man like Vlad.

That’s for sure. Interestingly, my daughters are in their late 20’s and early 30’s. I see women their age as “kids”. I’m not a pedo...

I don't think it's the gymnast, I think it's ‘flexible Barry’ he's left her for.

I agree with 100% of what you just said.

Putin is trying to make Russia as powerful as possible, and himself the leader of the resulting powerful nation. He is doing so because he himself wants to rulke and wield the power. As such, he is defintely making Russia stronger so that he can do those things. He would love to see a eventual return to a "Union" of a large number of nations similar in scope and power to the Soviet Union, though he will call it something different now.

Obama. on the other hand, is gutting America because he feels America needs to be punished, and I believe sees himself presiding over that, while maintaing enough force at home to control all of us, and enough military force to credibly deter others, and helps those nations he feels more alinged with. That's where he is taking it. And that does not allow for making the US a leader amongst free nations, and particularly not for ideas like our Constitutional Republic and citizens who have been given unalienable rights by God as enumerated in our current Constitution.

I remember Henry Kissinger said “power is the ultimate aphrodisiac”.

Very well could be. I have a hard time getting a handle on him. At least he doesn't seem to be a doctrinaire commie like ours.

“That does not mean that Clinton did not take abject advantage of a younger, more naive person for his own gratification”

Alas, I hold that she was not in the least reluctant to engage in sex with Clinton. I have always believed Clinto should have been hanged for the Lewinski affair. Not for having sex with a younger efamle, or a subordinate, but the following reason.

When a practiced bedhopper who happens to be the most powerful man on earth chooses a chubby, slutty JAP, a case can be made that such poor taste (not to mention poor judgment) rises to the level of a hang offense. Hang him for bad taste.

Bill Clinton was no Kennedy when it came to taste in women.

I think of him as more fascist than communist. Kind of in the Franco mold.
