re: #94 Kragar

I was a registered Republican for 25 years, and most of my comments here at LGF have been critical of Republicans, although I’m also critical of moonbats like Glenn Greenwald.

So I often disagree with both sides (or both “extremes”), and I sometimes wonder which side is worse.

Looking at the above comments (93 and 94) together, I got reinforcement for my concern that today’s right wing has gone really crazy. On the same day that gives us an agonizing glimpse of the possibility of the revival (however small) of the Cold War and one of the most evil empires in human history (the USSR), the US Congress passes a law that chastises the President for not launching a major crack down on legal marijuana in Colorado and Washington state.

In all seriousness, this dysfunction among the American right wing has got to embolden Putin. By profession he’s a KGB officer. He knows how it affects a country, when a significant percentage of its political discourse is dysfunctional. Putin may be underestimating Obama, but I’m afraid if he’s encouraged by today’s US Congress, he’s on solid ground.
