Why do we hate Putin more than Islamic terrorists?
William Murray
Sen. John McCain
took an incredible trip to Kiev earlier this year, and before a mob that
included neo-Nazis, he called for the ouster of the democratically elected
government of Ukraine. He was not alone, as members of the Obama administration
also moved to replace the elected government of that nation. With the help and
encouragement of Western powers, eventually the elected government was replaced
by those representing the mobs.

CNN in the U.S.
was silent about this, but a CNN International report stated:
“The leader of Svoboda (or ‘Freedom’), Oleh Tyahnybok,
is on record saying that Kiev is governed by ‘a Jewish-Russian mafia’ and has
said Ukrainians bravely fought Muscovites, Germans, Jews ‘and other scum’ in
World War II.
“This unsavory constituency, including the ‘ultra’
Right Sector movement, manned the barricades in the Kiev uprising, providing
‘security’ to the mainstream political opposition leaders and matching the
pro-government forces in violent tactics that led to the dozens of dead in and
around the Maidan.
“These rightist-nationalist forces were in large part
responsible for the collapse of the agreement signed in February that called
for early parliamentary and presidential elections and a return to the 2004
Ukrainian constitution, which harks back to the ‘Orange Revolution’ that
brought a pro-West government to power in Ukraine.”

A free
democratic nation such as the United States should not be in the business of
supporting mobs bent on overthrowing the elected leaders of a nation regardless
of how distasteful that government may be to us. There are now NO elected
officials in charge at any level in Ukraine, and both the Democrats and the
Republicans are praising this fact! Secretary of State John Kerry even went to
Kiev to lay flowers at a memorial to the mob that overthrew the government. The
self-declared prime minister of Ukraine, whom President Obama has declared the
“legitimate” ruler of that nation, visited the White House this week.
Meanwhile President Vladimir Putin of Russia is cast
as an evil villain and blood-thirsty madman by the American media and
politicians of both parties. Often, to demonize him they point out that he was
once head of the old KGB (note that our own President George H.W. Bush once
headed the CIA). In reality, Putin actually presided over the dismantling and
reform of the old KGB.
Putin may be no Easter bunny, but he is a far better
man and a far better human being than the fascist monarchs the United States
supports in Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Let’s remember that we are arming and
supporting Islamic nations that stone people to death, have zero human rights
and hold no elections at all, such as Saudi Arabia.
King Abdullah of
Saudi Arabia is an insult to all of humanity, yet Barack Obama bowed to him on
a visit to that nation. But in Ukraine, with the support of Republicans, Obama
has sent two Air Force Groups and naval missile cruisers to the Baltics to
threaten Christian Russia. Obama’s warning to Putin basically is this: “Don’t
you dare interfere with the mobs that overthrew the elected government of
Ukraine.” I have seen a lot here in Washington, but this is really nuts.
The attacks on
Russia and Putin began before the Olympic Games in Sochi and have escalated
over the issue of Ukraine. I was actually ashamed of conservative outlets such
as Fox News that salivated over one overrunning toilet that was found by an
Associated Press photographer at the Sochi games. (Apparently, no toilet has ever
overflowed in Western Europe or the United States.)
Why do President
Obama and the Western media have such hatred for Russia? What is all the Russia
bashing really about?
Last year
President Putin signed a law outlawing advertisements for abortion. In 2011
Russia passed a law requiring health warnings to women before getting an
abortion, and now the Duma is considering outlawing abortions completely unless
the mother is in immediate danger of death. (In the old Soviet Union, abortion
was the primary means of birth control).
There is no
complicated tax code in Russia; they have the kind of flat tax the Republicans
have pushed in the U.S. for years. In Russia everyone pays the 13 percent
income tax regardless of how much they earn. The year after this flat tax was
instituted in 2001, the Russian economy took off like a rocket and tax revenues
increased as well. Russia is not a communist country any longer. Russia has as
many or maybe even more millionaires than the United States. There is free
enterprise; anyone can start a business, and many people do.
In the Russian
Army the chaplains are allowed to preach the Gospel and pray in the name of
Jesus Christ. Homosexual behavior is not allowed in the Russian military and
punishable by court martial. (The U.S. military just held its first officially
approved drag queen contest at the Kadena Air Base.)
Why do Barack Obama and the liberal media hate Russia
so much but have such love for nations that are anti-Christian and repressive
such as Qatar and Saudi Arabia? Morally and spiritually, Russia today is the
nation America was in the 1950s.

Excellent article. Bill Murray who as head of Religious Freedom Coalition, works with persecuted Christians in the Middle East. In Soviet days, he worked on behalf of persecuted Christians in Russia.
