Putin has taken a page out of Bush's playbook.

[Raven]

Giving himself more power...appointing governors...scaring the shit out of his people...about to destroy Parliment...giving himself more power...giving himself more power...the similarities between these two are striking...and chilling!

1. No wonder Bush liked what he saw

when he saw Putin's soul in his eyes. :eyes:

[nadinbrzezinski]

2. Nah he took lessons from the Romanovs

and the Communists... this is a long standing tradition in Russia going back to Peter the Great.

It just looks similar, but he is actually harkening back to Russian history.

3. you noticed that too, huh?

and since we've lost all moral authority, we can't even appear to be outraged by this rollback of democracy.

Gosh, I sure am glad the world is a freer place now.

4. don't forget safer, too

[Raven]

7. You are so right and

that is exactly what bothers me...we have no legitimate position in the world anymore... Bush has opened Pandora's Box and the Furies are unbound...the worst of human nature now has an endorser in Bush!

8. Yep. Comrade Putin is using the Bushevik Playbook for Eliminating

Liberty.

He is able to implement it fast because Russian Liberty was so young and weak, it was easy to kill.

The Bushevik Plan is taking longer because our Old American Republic lived for 225 years before it died and still the values run deep.

But the Busheviks have had great success in moving us towards where Comrade Putin and Ferdinand Marcos have gone before.

5. pre-emptive strike is very dangerous

cuz if we can do it, so can everybody else. Sharon was quick enough to figure out that Bush suddenly made it okay to attack nations who "habor terrorists".

6. South America should be able to strike the School of the Americas

then....
