FROM 2012 INTO 2013 POLITICS THREAD

I'm not the one hooked on Obama.

 

Your ass is chapped over my Putin remarks.
Don't take it out on me.
I said I admired Vladdy's sense of national pride and abiding love for the Russian people and their culture.
Conversely, Obama hates America, its people, market capitalism and the Constitution.
He loves it when we're ashamed of ourselves.

 

Who wouldn't love a nation that doesn't allow him a third consecutive presidential term, but does allow him to be appointed Prime Minister so that he doesn't lose a single day of political control.

Chapped? No. Amused. You're impressed with a man who essentially runs the Russian mob while insisting that America's president is himself a ruthless (but wimpy!) gangster-in-chief.

 

I'm a troll. It's sort of my job.
I admire someone who projects strength instead of weakness and indecision on both domestic and international affairs.
A non-wimp, yes.
(Incidentally, the leader we had running the KGB's counterpart was perceived a wimp.)
It doesn't have to be a male.
Margaret Thatcher, Golda Meir.
Pistols who wouldn't be fucked with and suffered no fools gladly.
You lack understanding of the conversation a few of us were having - the one before assholes accused me of glorifying Putin.

 

Excellent. I have a new signature.

 

I wonder how Putin would feel about fart boy going on and on about how masculine he is.

 

Nah, he's beaver-busting that synchronized swimmer.
And Fart is married.

 

And he isn't/wasn't everything to his supporters?

Every liberal thought he agreed with everyone of their positions, even ones that were in conflict.

 

You are glorifying Putin. Who's next? The whackadoodle in N. Korea. <i>Such poise! Such control! A nation in tune with its leader!</i>

And all of this in relief of Snowden being there. Putin would have had a Russian version of Snowden eviscerated.

 

No, they didn't, and you just make yourself look ignorant by making that statement.

 

Yes, Russian history is full of traitors being harshly dealt with.

On down the list.
Snowden's continued status as a fugitive reveals the president's wimpiness.
Nobody fears this fucking guy. Don't you get it?
And why should he be feared? He gives speeches and plays golf.

 

Your memory must not be too good. You don't recall the cult of personality surrounding Obama leading up to the 2008 election? Christ, they used pictures on the cover of Time and other magazines that made him appear God-like. Even before he took the oath of office there were people talking about doing away with presidential term limits. He was the biggest rock star on the planet, with chanting crowds and fainting admirers. He was the one we have been waiting for.
