But it's nice to see your so humble, and so much holier than thou, than those who didn't, or couldn't serve for various reasons. Exactly who are you differant from? The same people you espouse hatred for? If I were you Mr. Veteran Liberal, i'd take a long look at how your messiah is killing your comrades in arms, and your benefits. Open your eyes, Progressive Liberals are destroying us.

Unless Obama is spotted drinking one,I would urge my fellow Americans to mind there own business and let the Russians fight about it.

A large percent of the population was Russian immigrants, mostly Jewish. To start with, they dispelled many of the press implanted propaganda I had been hearing since the 1950's.

Most of the men had served in the Russian Army during WWII. Each May (I believe 9th) the Russians had a memorial celebration - generally a pot luck with lots of Vodka toasts. They celebrated how the Russian Army was the FIRST to strat raiding German concentration camps and freeing the Jews. Folks - during WWII we were at war with Germany & Italy. We are not at odds with them.

There has been a lot of bad blood between our nations and we hope that the fallen Communist government will not return, but the people of Russia put them in and took them out. I am sure that they can chose what they believe is best for them. Like you, I wonder why anyone would chose Communisum, but I have never known anything but capitalism.

Once Stalin consolidated his power, he became as autocratic and repressive as the worst of the czars. He even allowed the churches to re-open following the German invasion in '41. Sounds pretty conservative to me.

2-01-2010 @6:25PM alan said... Wow someone doesn't understand politics from a left or roght perspective. Stalin was a fascist. That is opposite of left leaning liberals or socialist. Try to learn from another sorce than faux news, History book are good for that.......cheers

The acclaimed liberal Political Scientist of our time recently stated that he'd like to be remembered "for introducing a different way of thinking about the world, about war, about human rights, about equality". That of course was Howard Zinn. He popularized the concept of taking history and "thinking" about it new and "creative" ways. It seems to work very well.

2-01-2010 @6:34PM Brenda said... JW......the words "liberal" and "freedom/liberty" used together in a sentence is an oxymoron......doesn't fit. You obviously didn't learn anything in the Marines. Most military know who support them......you know, those nasty "republicons" you speak so highly of. If you look at history, research Obama and the Progressive "liberals", you will find it is quite the opposite of your thought process.

2-01-2010 @6:51PM David Martin said... Please remember that Lenin created the Gulag system in Russia. Lenin ordered Dzerzhinsky to establish the Gulag and Cheka courts, prisons etc...This is not to shed a bright light on Stalin, only to clarify that he was no more an autocrat than Lenin. The only difference between Lenin and Stalin were the methods used to oppress the Russian people. If Lenin wanted you to jump off a bridge, he would ask you to do the right thing and do it yourself. Stalin on the other hand would send two thugs to your home and throw you over the bridge themselves.

And how old are? You must be really old now, aren't you? Who saved you then? Do you actually believe in what you are saying?

BTW, the name of Marshal Zhukov was Georgiy, and the city of Volgograd was renamed from Stalingrad long before the fall of the Soviet Union. The writer should have checked the facts before posting it.
