As the cold war of words with Russia turns into a hot financial war, readers have asked if this blog will continue its pro-Putin stance. Good question. Some argue that Russia's strongman is the reincarnation of St. Paul, which is a bold call and I'd hesitate to go that far.
However, the former KGB Colonel did lock up Pussy Riot. A big plus. He also stands against the USEURO Axis of Gayness. Another big plus, and he's the only major world leader that dares to publicly support Christianity. Some say that's cynical on Putin's part and I don't care if it is. He supports the church and that's good, in my book, regardless of motive.
But Putin isn't just against the limo-lib, atheist gay agenda, he's also against big taxation. Under his leadership, Russia has a flat tax of 13%; another plus. And let's be honest, he's not a feminized, metrosexual, pink panderer to the progleft's attempt to deconstruct humanity and remake it in the image of Aleister Crowley, Margaret Sanger, or some other Satan. No, Russia's leader shoots, rides, fishes, hunts and loves getting out in the field. He loves his country too.
Here's what he had to say about the current attacks on his Motherland:
"Maybe our bear should sit quietly, not chasing any piglets around, but just eating honey and berries. Maybe they should just leave him alone? They will not. They are trying to put it on a chain. And as soon as they do it they will tear his teeth and claws out."
I'd say Putin has a point, but would he mistake Obama for a waiter at a dinner party? Who knows. Is he the New Constantine? Perhaps. Is he still awesome? Not if you're Pussy Riot or a libleft pansexualist, obviously. If you're a pro-Christian, small taxation, trad values sportsman, probably yes, he is still awesome. And is it wise for the West and our Mohammedan allies, like Qatar and Saudi Arabia, to fight against Russia?
Memories are short and getting shorter by the day, but let's not forget what attacking Russia did to the Bonapartists and Hitlerites.
No favors at all.
