Winger lovefest with Putin continues - As the World Turns
[ In Reply To ..]Did you miss the part about the president being "handcuffed" and the direct reference to the government shutdown, for which we all know the majority of Americans hold GOP responsible? Hard to ignore these statements in such a short article. The POTUS didn't handcuff himself, so when the finger-pointing begins about either global or parochial perceptions of the US "going down," do try to keep things in their proper perspective.
Agree, disgusting. BTW, Putin's attack on gays is a lot of the - wind behind this very bad smell, for
[ In Reply To ..]anyone wondering why on earth some on the far right are all of a sudden in love with a country they used to consider part of an axis of evil. That, and, of course, it gives them yet another way to express their malice toward Obama and rejection of the America they feel betrayed them by voting for him.
Excerpt from a four-part series from Right Wing Watch:
"Russia’s repression of LGBT people and the Pussy Riot case have provoked an international outcry, intensified by the the country’s role as the host of next year’s winter Olympics.
But throughout all this, one group has cheered on Putin’s actions: the ****American Religious Right**** and its international allies.
Even as tensions have grown between Russia and the United States, several Religious Right leaders have spoken loudly in favor of Putin’s crackdowns on gay people and political dissenters:
Conservative commentator and former Republican presidential candidate Pat Buchanan praised Putin for “trying to re-establish the Orthodox Church as the moral compass of the nation” by going after gays and political dissent and suggested that the United States follow his lead.
The anti-feminist group Concerned Women for America hailed the Pussy Riot prosecution, saying that the band displayed an “utter lack of morality.”
Religious Right activist Bob Vander Plaats, whose Family Leader events in Iowa have become must-attends for Republican presidential candidates, praised Putin’s “decisive leadership” on anti-gay laws.
American Family Association spokesman Bryan Fischer declared that Russia’s gay “propaganda” ban was exactly the kind of “public policy that we’ve been advocating” and that, if anything, the ban didn’t go far enough.
Peter LaBarbera of Americans For Truth About Homosexuality praised the propaganda law, writing, “Russians do not want to follow America’s reckless and decadent promotion of gender confusion, sexual perversion, and anti-biblical ideologies to youth.”
Scott Lively, an American activist linked to Uganda’s push for the death penalty for gays, wrote that under Putin’s leadership, Russia has become a “beacon of freedom” while the U.S. has descended into a “gay version of the Soviet Union.” Lively also gave himself credit for “indirectly” assisting the ban on “homosexual propaganda,” calling it “one of the proudest achievements of my career.”
Vision America’s Rick Scarborough suggested that God would rebuke President Obama over his condemnation of Russia’s anti-gay crackdown, saying that Obama’s criticism of the propaganda law “puts our country in a very precarious place.”
Radio host Linda Harvey, head of the group Mission: America, praised the gay “propaganda” ban, declaring that any “responsible adult” would support it.
Rush Limbaugh praised Putin for “putting [his] foot down” against gay peoples’ “full-frontal assault on what has always been considered normalcy.”
Austin Ruse of the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute (C-FAM) called the Russian law a “good thing” and claimed that “most of the people in the United States” would support a similar measure.
Larry Jacobs of the Illinois-based World Congress of Families hailed the propaganda law for “preventing [LGBT people] from corrupting children" and declared that "the Russians might be the Christian saviors to the world."
Six American Religious Right groups, including the World Congress of Families, Mission: America and C-FAM , joined an international coalition of right-wing groups in signing a statement supporting the anti-gay crackdown and condemning the international outrage against it.
American conservative groups haven’t just praised Russia’s crackdown on gays. Working through several channels, American anti-gay activists quietly provided intellectual backing and international support that directly and indirectly fueled the resurgent anti-gay movement in Russia and in other former Soviet states like Lithuania, Moldova and Ukraine.
In a series of posts today and tomorrow, we’ll look at how American activists influenced Russia’s anti-gay laws by funding anti-gay activism in Russia, testifying before the Duma, providing false research to fan the flames of anti-gay laws abroad, and building an international movement to back the harshest anti-gay laws around the world.

Pope Francis begs to differ. "Who am I to judge, as long as - they are searching for God
[ In Reply To ..]and have good will?" Furthermore, he says:
"A person once asked me, in a provocative manner, if I approved of homosexuality. I replied with another question: 'Tell me: when God looks at a gay person, does he endorse the existence of this person with love, or reject and condemn this person?'
"We must always consider the person. In life, God accompanies persons, and we must accompany them, starting from their situation. It is necessary to accompany them with mercy. When that happens, the Holy Spirit inspires the priest to say the right thing."
The key, he said, is for the church to welcome, not exclude and show mercy, not condemnation.
"This church with which we should be thinking is the home of all, not a small chapel that can hold only a small group of selected people. We must not reduce the bosom of the universal church to a nest protecting our mediocrity."
From a source I am sure you can trust:

that's okay - we would not want you to be - the judge
[ In Reply To ..]I like it best when the good lord speaks for himself. I don't think he requires (or desires) judgmental emissaries to speak on His behalf. They almost invariably get it wrong, and that's no good for anybody.
Aww, bless. - pffft
[ In Reply To ..]Threatened with eternal damnation again for not condemning gays. I'm sure Jesus is smiling.

They're horribly confused about "commies," a love/hate thing - FOR REAL I guess. nm

Then Obama should be doing something about - it. He is a very weak president.
[ In Reply To ..]Then again, he is NUMBER TWO!
Well I think not caving in to economic blackmail - was a good start, don't you?
[ In Reply To ..]Lest we forget, the GOP netted a big fat goose egg for all their shutdown hooplah except, of course, their awesome nosedive in approval ratings.
Actually he is incredibly STRONG - just sayin
[ In Reply To ..]He is fallible to be sure, but he has weathered an enormous amount of stress during his 6+ years and at the same time kept the country from TOTALLY imploding after Bush and Cheney WRECKED IT...
oh, and he got bin Laden. Pesky little details.
What would really be nice... - is if we could
[ In Reply To ..]trade our right wingers for the Russian gays and Pussy Riot types. I think they would be so much happier over there, as Russia has always been a repressive, conservative country, while USA has always been progressive, radical and freedom loving. The wingers might even get really lucky and have a tzar and tzarina to rule over them once again.
according to the article, he should become an autocrat - i.e. dictator (sm)
[ In Reply To ..]How come the right commends Putin for being an ACTUAL dictator, but criticizes Obama for being the right-wing's imaginary dictator? I wish you guys would make up your minds.
the article points out that the U.S. is the - most dominant country in the world
[ In Reply To ..]I hate to break the news to you, but autocrats (i.e., Putin) are ALWAYS more powerful than presidents. They are allowed to do as they please without regard for checks and balances or the democratic process. If you would enjoy life in an autocracy, go for it.
Consider The Source - *Seriously
[ In Reply To ..]Forbes seems to have a problem with getting their facts straight regarding world leaders. Not too long ago, Forbes.com claimed in error that President Higgins of Ireland was "acknowledged homosexual." President Higgins is a married man with a wife and four children and not remotely an "acknowledged homosexual." Nothing wrong with it, IMO, it is his own business, but Forbes' grasp of the facts seems to be slipping lately.
Whatever, Forbes!
The motto of Forbes is: "The Capitalist Tool".
Yeah, I get the "tool" part; they are giving new meaning to the word "tool."
