And also because OBUMMER!
The willfully blind and ignorant on conservative blogs still don't believe that their own kind would choose Russia over America, just to spite our American president and to shout to the world that they hate Obama more than they love "America, Apple Pie, and the Flag."
But here's more proof of where their derangement has brought them: To the heart of a country whose leader jails rock bands, invades countries and is corrupt.
These are the sort of Godly values the "Freedom Loving" Conservatives support against their own country?
Amazing, isn't it, where spite, rage, and stupidity can take people:
Right to the Kremlin.
And they will be welcomed with flowers, candy, and a nice rancid dose of homophobia, as well. And what's not to love about that?
And they will be welcomed with flowers, candy, and a nice rancid dose of homophobia, as well. And what's not to love about that?
"Yay Putin! Boo America!" "Go Tea Party!"
For the first time in their lives, American Conservatives are proud of the Kremlin!
Congratulations on that achievement, Gee-Oh-Pee-ers! You will make the ex-Soviet head of the KGB and Russians very proud of you!
GOP LOVES PUTIN!
Conservatives have jumped the patriot shark.
Siding with Putin over Obama, conservatives justify holding their World Congress of Families summit meeting (referred to as the “pro-life Olympics”) in Moscow even after the Ukraine crisis because “Putin doesn’t threaten our national security, Obama does.”
Funding this little gathering of patriotic freedom lovers is a close Putin ally. Pallin’ around with Putin? The summit also includes a joint session with the Russian parliament, according to Right Wing Watch. In an article titled, “U.S. Conservatives To Go Ahead With ‘Pro-Life Olympics’ In Moscow Despite Ukraine Crisis:
‘Putin doesn’t threaten our national security, Obama does,’ the communications director for the World Congress of Families wrote”, Buzzfeed reported:
The World Congress of Families counts several leading U.S. conservative organizations among its affiliates, including the Family Research Council, Concerned Women for America, Alliance Defending Freedom and Americans United for Life.
The Moscow meeting is described as the “‘Olympics’ of the international Pro-Life movement supporting the Natural Family” in a promotional brochure, and will bring together conservative activists from around the world.
The meeting is funded in part by Vladimir Yakunin, head of Russia’s railroads monopoly and a close ally of President Vladimir Putin and supporter of the Russian Orthodox Church.
The Family Research Council attracts the big players in conservative politics — Ted Cruz, Paul Ryan, Rand Paul, Mark Rubio, and more spoke at the Value Voters Summit, put on by the FRC last fall.

Shaw, there are some sane members of the GOP, as this article shows, but where are the rest of their folks?
Certainly the bloggers do not belong on the list.
There is nothing, nothing I have heard from any conservative, RINO, GOP member, or Tea Partier, including Rubio, about what they would do differently than President Obama.
When pressed as to why Putin invaded Georgia, when the "strong leader Bush" was in office, since strength was a deterrent, they became silent, or retreated to the "liberals are blaming Bush" mantra.
There have been a series of articles recently showing how young people are clearly favoring the more liberal ideas, like gay marriage and a strong federal gov't, [as opposed to a 50 state patchwork of ideas].
If these trends are borne out, it might be a long winter for the more extreme voices. Even McConnell has thrown them under the bus.
Here's the article...

Palin swoons for Putin.
What's not to like? It's a gay-hating, militaristic fascist regime with close church-state ties. exactly what present-day conservatism wants for the US.
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
~ Galatians 6:7-9 (KJV)
As I pass through my incarnations
––– in every age and race,
I make my proper prostrations
––– to the Gods of the Market Place.
Peering through reverent fingers
––– I watch them flourish and fall,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings,
––– I notice, outlast them all.
We were living in trees when they met us.
––– They showed us each in turn
That Water would certainly wet us,
––– as Fire would certainly burn:
But we found them lacking in Uplift,
––– Vision and Breadth of Mind,
So we left them to teach the Gorillas
––– while we followed the March of Mankind.
We moved as the Spirit listed.
––– They never altered their pace,
Being neither cloud nor wind-borne
––– like the Gods of the Market Place,
But they always caught up with our progress,
––– and presently word would come
That a tribe had been wiped off its icefield,
––– or the lights had gone out in Rome.
With the Hopes that our World is built on
––– they were utterly out of touch,
They denied that the Moon was Stilton;
––– they denied she was even Dutch;
They denied that Wishes were Horses;
–––they denied that a Pig had Wings;
So we worshipped the Gods of the Market
––– Who promised these beautiful things.
When the Cambrian measures were forming,
––– They promised perpetual peace.
They swore, if we gave them our weapons,
––– that the wars of the tribes would cease.
But when we disarmed They sold us
––– and delivered us bound to our foe,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said:
––– "Stick to the Devil you know."
On the first Feminian Sandstones
––– we were promised the Fuller Life
(Which started by loving our neighbour
––– and ended by loving his wife)
Till oru women had no more children
––– and the men lost their reason and faith
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings
––– said: “The Wages of Sin is Death.”
In the Carboniferous Epoch
––– we were promised abundance for all,
By robbing selected Peter
––– to pay for collective Paul.
But,thoug we had plenty of money,
––– there was nothing our money could buy
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings
––– said: "If you don't work you die."
Then the Gods of the Market tumbled,
––– and their smooth-tongued wizards withdrew
And the hearts of the meanest were humbled
––– and began to believe it was true
That All is not Gold that Glitters,
––– and Two and Two make Four
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings
––– limped up to explain it once more.
As it will be in the future,
––– it was at the birth of Man
There are only four things certain
––– since Social Progress began.
That the Dog returns to his Vomit
––– and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool's bandaged finger
––– goes wabbling back to the Fire;
And that after this is accomplished,
––– and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing
––– and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us,
––– as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings
––– with terror and slaughter return!
~ Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) - The Gods of the Copybook Headings
They pretend the Conservative love-fest for Putin isn't real?
These are the same people who thought Sarah Half-Wit was qualified to be vice president.
They are too lazy and slow to find out for themselves because what people have been saying just might be factual, and facts, as we all know, have a liberal bias.
This nutter just won't take her blinders off, it's so much better not to see:
"Oh, I just Googled and, you know, there's a smidgen of truth there....
Huff Post and the LA Times both suggest Conservatives admire Putin's toughness in contrast to the remarkable weakness of our president. I have to admit, they do have a point.
But admire Putin or Communism for their actions or ideology?
LINK LINK LINK! PLEEEEEEEEEEEEASE!? :-)"
Republicans, conservative pundits, and evangelical fanatics have lined up behind their prototypical conservative Putin, and contrary to what some may think, it is not solely because they hate President Obama they have spent no small amount of time comparing to the Russian president. This past week Fox News strategic analyst Ralph Peters was effusive in praising Russia he asserted “has a real leader
The Pro-Life Olympics?
Is that some kind of joke?
Who's writing your material, Shaw?
Is The One and Only Attending?
A nuclear armed society is a polite society.
Maybe they will have Putin run as a republican in 2016.
Ducky: "Who's writing your material, Shaw?"
Who needs a comedy writer when tge Baggers come up with this stuff themselves?
(BTW, were you around South Station on Saturday, early PM? I saw a guy with a camera taking shots and I almost shouted "DUCKY?!")
Dave, as Ducky said, this sort of self-parody from the right doesn't need snark. They write the snark themselves.
Infidel753, Putin: A Tea Bagger's dream candidate. Blow in her ear, and Sarah would follow him anywhere.
F.T., not familiar with that poem by Kipling.
Anon, the conservatives who keep claiming none of their crowd admires Pootie have their head ...somewhere.
S.H. the cons have been caught swooning over a Commie, and they keep denying it. Cognitive dissonance at its finest.
No, wasn't me, Shaw. Tough I'll probably try to get a few shots tomorrow. Should be in he 50's.
Spring is groaning, trying to break through.
Yep, cons love strong man Putin and are having a love affair with communism.
Righto...
"Yep, cons love strong man Putin and are having a love affair with communism."
Here's where the humor lies, RN:
Almost every conservative pundit, pol, and certainly bloggers never miss a opportunity to label President Obama as a "soshallist!" and dictator! every chance they get, and yet there's no question that they've been all over the media sloppily drooling over a real dictator/soshallist who once headed the Communist KGB!
They hate Obama more than they love America. Their shameless fawning over everything they supposedly detest in a leader is an example of their sick hatred.
"Putin is simply used as a leader who acts in his country/communism's interest to contrast against the imbecilic impotence of obama.
Get it libtards? We're using putin to illustrate to you how a leader of a country/system operates.
obama has made the United States a laughing stock since before 2008, and now it's a wonder the rest of the world doesn't die from laughter.
Putin and Medvedev call obama just to hit the mute button for minutes at a time and laugh like hyenas listening to obama talk.
obama is a little yappy dog behind a 6 foot steel fence.
Do we want putin for anything? No, we want an intelligent, patriotic, non-racist, all race loving Conservative like the ones who founded the country and wrote that all men are created equal.
Now shut up you ignorant sluts. ;-)"

Apparently the director of DHS desires more dead and injured Americans or the complete Islamification of our republic. Of course, Dike Napolitano would be one of the first to be stoned under shari’a law.
I disagree Shaw. They simply hate Obama and look for any and every opportunity t try and make him look bad.
It does not mean they don't love America. But, as you know nationalism can, if allowed become a dangerous obsession.
RN, here's a fact: When the president of the United States visits foreign countries he represents America, he's not representing just his political party. America.
I've never in my lifetime seen an opposing party pander to and admire an ex-Commie head of state over their American president they way the TeaPublicans have.
These are the same people who bellowed at the top of their tonsils about Van Jones then fell all over themselves telling the world what a great "leader" the ex-head of the Soviet KGB is!
Truly schizoid behavior from deeply disturbed minds.
HTRT, that's disturbing as well. WTF?
To those who don't get it:
"Please PLEASE link us somewhere that you saw Conservatives applauding Putin and not bemoaning the fact that he does have more dignity and apparent strength than Obama could ever muster up."
That bolded statement is an example of admiring Putin's characteristics. The person writing that isn't self-aware enough to understand that THAT statement is a statement of admiration for ex-commie(but who knows if he's an "ex?" Putin.) The person who wrote that is admiring Putin's "dignity" and "apparent strength."
They can't even see through their own B.S.! Amazing. No wonder it's so easy for charlatans to deceive them.
"Dike" Napolitano? Jeebus, they're a nasty bunch, aren't they?
"Dike" Napolitano? Jeebus, they're a nasty bunch, aren't they?
Polite, conciliatory-sounding conservatives like Ross Douthat and George Will are not the reality of what we're up against. This is.
Yikes! The Neanderthal that wrote that gives even this fiscal consevative great concern. Dude is seriously tettering on insanity.
