And the American "conservatives" are pretty much just classical liberals that happens to dislike fags (many of them don't even do that any more it seems).
Teleport them back 60-70 years and they would sound just like the liberals used to sound back then.


... well ... perhaps in terms of domestic social issues.

I doubt that old fashioned American liberals would support the military-industrial complex or the modern corporate welfare state.

Well i don't see American conservatives supporting a corporate welfare state either.

Including the AfD. There is some irony in a Russian head of government who quite likes Stalin supporting the German far right.

But remember, Stalin had originally fallen for Hitler's bogus peace overtures, believing that Russia and Germany could then divide up the world. That was why he thought he was safe enough from western attack to purge his army. In fact, up until the German invasion, Stalin had ordered communist parties in other countries to steer clear of other left wing parties, telling them that the enemy was on the left, as he realized the totalitarian right wingers were more of his ideological brothers than were democratic socialists. So if anything, Putin is in fact following in Stalin's footsteps, though I hardly think there's an equivalent in modern Germany to Hitler who could turn the tables on him.

Others claim the law is about protecting Russian traditions according to which the family is sacred. Priest Dmitry Smirnov, head of the Russian Orthodox Patriarchy’s commission on family matters, said on a television programme that the idea the state should be able to poke its nose into family affairs was a western imposition on Russia. “Some of the things happening in northern Europe now are such that even Hitler couldn’t have dreamed them up,” he said.

Some of the mainstream discussion around gender and domestic violence in Russia can be shocking.

An article last week in the science section of the popular tabloid Komsomolskaya Pravda cheerfully told readers about an “advantage” of wife-beating. It said: “Recent scientific studies show the wives of angry men have a reason to be proud of their bruises. Biologists say that beaten-up women have a valuable advantage: they more often give birth to boys!” The article was later amended.


What the... ? 8O

Okay, I was wrong. This is absolutely shocking, utterly disgraceful. I now have another reason to hate Mr. Vladimir Putrid.

The county commissioners in a county in Idaho had recently voted on a statement to endorse Putrid and Russia as our friend.

Idaho again. About five minutes ago I was reading another discussion here at WP about some crazy Republican senator from Idaho who wants the death penalty for women who abort their babies. Is there something... "special" about Idaho that people should know?

My late mother, despite having had had a history of mental illness, had sagaciously said: "Idaho is a strange state."
