Quite an impressive essay...
But, I wonder, how are things in Russia, these days...
He is comparing his experience living in the old Soviet Union, which was really 
an evil place to live...
Even though we suffered a shock, with the crap that's gone down, the past few 
years...
The Russian style is to exaggerate, but he does have a point, to the stupidity 
that had overtaken the country...
I still wonder how it's going to go, when I see so much alcohol consumption, 
like it's an American religion, to have a beer, and have another, and watch the 
game, and so on, and so forth...

It's like everything is being exposed.
It's like a raw nerve, that's been numb, for a long time, waking up...
Feel the pain.
Can't heal to you feel the pain.
R.g.






  
  It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent 
  into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop 
  of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people. 
  True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, 
  especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds was conducted 
  upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. But we Russians would not 
  just roll over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much 
  money Wall Street poured into the fists of the Marxists. 
  Those lessons were taken and used to properly prepare the American populace 
  for the surrender of their freedoms and souls, to the whims of their elites 
  and betters. 
  First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard 
  education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. Americans 
  know more about their favorite TV dramas then the drama in DC that directly 
  affects their lives. They care more for their right to choke down a 
  McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional 
  rights. Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our 
  democracy. Pride blind the foolish. 
  Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of 
  thousands of different branches and denominations were for the most part 
  little more then Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top 
  protestant mega preachers were more then happy to sell out their souls and 
  flocks to be on the winning side of one pseudo Marxist politician or 
  another. Their flocks may complain, but when explained that they would be 
  on the winning side, their flocks were ever so quick to reject Christ in 
  hopes for earthly power. Even our Holy Orthodox churches are scandalously 
  liberalized in America. 
  The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed in 
  the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money 
  printing has been a record setting, not just in America's short history but 
  in the world. If this keeps up for more then another year, and there is no 
  sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Wiemar Republic 
  and at worst Zimbabwe. 
  These past two weeks have been the most breath taking of all. First came 
  the announcement of a planned redesign of the American Byzantine tax 
  system, by the very thieves who used it to bankroll their thefts, loses and 
  swindles of hundreds of billions of dollars. These make our Russian 
  oligarchs look little more then ordinary street thugs, in comparison. Yes, 
  the Americans have beat our own thieves in the shear volumes. Should we 
  congratulate them? 
  These men, of course, are not an elected panel but made up of appointees 
  picked from the very financial oligarchs and their henchmen who are now 
  gorging themselves on trillions of American dollars, in one bailout after 
  another. They are also usurping the rights, duties and powers of the 
  American congress (parliament). Again, congress has put up little more then 
  a whimper to their masters. 
  Then came Barack Obama's command that GM's (General Motor) president step 
  down from leadership of his company. That is correct, dear reader, in the 
  land of pure free markets, the American president now has the power, the 
  self given power, to fire CEOs and we can assume other employees of private 
  companies, at will. Come hither, go dither, the centurion commands his 
  minions. 
  So it should be no surprise, that the American president has followed this 
  up with a bold move of declaring that he and another group of unelected, 
  chosen stooges will now redesign the entire automotive industry and will 
  even be the guarantee of automobile policies. I am sure that if given the 
  chance, they would happily try and redesign it for the whole of the world, 
  too.. Prime Minister Putin, less then two months ago, warned Obama and UK's 
  Blair, not to follow the path to Marxism, it only leads to disaster. 
  Apparently, even though we suffered 70 years of this Western sponsored 
  horror show, we know nothing,

The point is that the wingnut loonies on the right in the USA are so totally 
discredited in the eyes of the American people that they feel a need to resort 
to anti-American Russian propaganda to criticize the Obama administration - as 
if that equally crackpot propaganda from Russia somehow supports their own

points from the USA right wing propaganda mill - and they surely aren't going

Perhaps you and your fast dwindling number of fringe wackos would prefer to

The Obama administration has maintained an approval rating in the mid 60% range 
since he took office.

A Washington Post poll made a big splash because it  found that only 21 percent

Well,do. as long as the polls you sight continue to hold I would say you have 
little to worry about and should be ecstatic. However, remember how down 
trodden and pathetic the Democrats were after Bush was elected in 2000? Oh, I'm 
sorry, I mean selected. As long as Obama can blame all of his problems on the 
previous administration he'll be able to maintain his poll numbers, which are 
quite common for a newly elected president. Sooner or later though, he will 
have to accept responsibility for the condition of the nation as his making. 
The drums are pounding. The resistance is organizing. I predict that it won't 
take six years for the opposition to take back at least one branch of the 
government and then he's finished..

 to buy any from Russia's Pravda.
 
 Perhaps you and your fast dwindling number of fringe wackos would prefer to 
 move to Putin's Russia. 
 
 The Obama administration has maintained an approval rating in the mid 60% 
 range since he took office. 
 
 ~~ Only 21 percent continue to self-identify as Republicans ~~
 
 A Washington Post poll made a big splash because it found that only 21 
 percent self-identify as Republicans. The abysmally low number got pundits 
 and reporters talking about whether the GOP is shrinking to the point of 
 irrelevance.

 An NBC/WSJ poll finds that the number of self-identified Republicans has 
 dropped even lower: 20 percent.

  Having failed so miserably to sell their own lies to the American people, 
  the right wing is now resorting to using the Russian propaganda medium of 
  Pravda to support their crackpot, paranoid fabrications.

   It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American 
   decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the 
   back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant 
   people. 
   True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past 
   century, especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds 
   was conducted upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. But we 
   Russians would not just roll over and give up our freedoms and our souls, 
   no matter how much money Wall Street poured into the fists of the 
   Marxists. 
   Those lessons were taken and used to properly prepare the American 
   populace for the surrender of their freedoms and souls, to the whims of 
   their elites and betters. 
   First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and 
   substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the 
   classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas then the 
   drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their 
   right to choke down a McDonalds burger

 First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard 
 education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. Americans 
 know more about their favorite TV dramas then the drama in DC that directly 
 affects their lives. They care more for their right to choke down a 
 McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional rights. 
 Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our 
 democracy. Pride blind the foolish. 
 Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of 
 thousands of different branches and denominations were for the most part 
 little more then Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top protestant 
 mega preachers were more then happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be 
 on the winning side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another. Their 
 flocks may complain, but when explained that they would be on the winning 
 side, their flocks were ever so quick to reject Christ in hopes for earthly 
 power. Even our Holy Orthodox churches are scandalously liberalized in 
 America. 
 The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed in 
 the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money 
 printing has been a record setting, not just in America's short history but 
 in the world. If this keeps up for more then another year, and there is no 
 sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Wiemar Republic and 
 at worst Zimbabwe. 
 These past two weeks have been the most breath taking of all. First came the 
 announcement of a planned redesign of the American Byzantine tax system, by 
 the very thieves who used it to bankroll their thefts, loses and swindles of 
 hundreds of billions of dollars. These make our Russian oligarchs look little 
 more then ordinary street thugs, in comparison. Yes, the Americans have beat 
 our own thieves in the shear volumes. Should we congratulate them? 
 These men, of course, are not an elected panel but made up of appointees 
 picked from the very financial oligarchs and their henchmen who are now 
 gorging themselves on trillions of American dollars, in one bailout after 
 another. They are also usurping the rights, duties and powers of the American 
 congress (parliament). Again, congress has put up little more then a whimper 
 to their masters. 
 Then came Barack Obama's command that GM's (General Motor) president step 
 down from leadership of his company. That is correct, dear reader, in the 
 land of pure free markets, the American president now has the power, the 
 self given power, to fire CEOs and we can assume other employees of private 
 companies, at will. Come hither, go dither, the centurion commands his 
 minions. 
 So it should be no surprise, that the American president has followed this up 
 with a bold move of declaring that he and another group of unelected, 
 chosen stooges will now redesign the entire automotive industry and will even 
 be the guarantee of automobile policies. I am sure that if given the chance, 
 they would happily try and redesign it for the whole of the world, too.. 
 Prime Minister Putin, less then two months ago, warned Obama and UK's Blair, 
 not to follow the path to Marxism, it only leads to disaster. Apparently, 
 even though we suffered 70 years of this Western sponsored horror show, we 
 know nothing, as
