Telling the way neo-cons attempt to vilify Putin, as if hes some sort of a communist attempting to reinstate the old Soviet system. Clearly neo-cons need to keep the myth of an evil outside world alive to justify militarism and the illegal invasion of sovereign nations.
Actually, Putin has much in common with most conservatives, he has fully embraced capitalism; he thrives in the corruption allowed to manifest in the environment of unregulated, unbridled greed and avarice. And like most conservatives Putin is an authoritarian, quick to stifle dissent and impose conformity.
And the notion of Obama being anything like Putin is ignorant idiocy: unlike Putin Obama is an advocate of the rule of law, embraces diversity, and acknowledges the value of dissent.
I'd vote for Putin for president over obama. obama is old school communist.
