Because it is not enough for you to stay...@Francis<br /><br />Because it is not enough for you to stay in your house and do what ever it is you do, it is never enough. You seek to pervert society, recruit children...like the sodomite parades where vile acts are performed in the streets of Western cities. Like the sodomite day at Disney world....since you are all so brave, why do you not go have one in Baghdad or Cairo?<br /><br />We as a society do not want your perversion, but you care nothing about who or what any other wants, only what you want, everyone else be damned. In the post-Christ West, you have already shut the churches up and have Christians arrested for preaching, not going to happen here.<br /><br />Do not like it? Do not come here. If you do, keep your sex to yourself and you won't be bothered, shove it in my face and you'll be more than bothered, that I promise.<br /><br />Bigot? Me? Yes, you alternatives are all so welcoming of free ideas, as long as they are just like yours...otherwise it is bigot, racist, what ever you can think of.<br /><br />Bigot yourself.

And, technically, you were spurring him on.<br /><br />Your support of this blog I'm sure is greatly appreciated, but let's keep topics on topics, shall we? No matter what people may say, it does us no good to go down a rabbit trail about something that has very little to do with the initial conversation (I.E. this post). If Harry wants to assume, let him. It's comparable to the animals at the zoo in a way (not that you're an animal, Harry)... It would be wise not to feed them.<br /><br />But again, my deepest apologies. Please, keep up the good work! I enjoy reading your comments.<br /><br />And I must apologize to you as well, Stanislav Mishin, for the confusion of your blog name being your own. Had I read all the comments, I would have seen it and spared myself the embarrassment. Lol Sorry!

I do not have, nor ever had any interest in your input on the subject but I do agree that I too was judgmental. On the other hand you seem to think you are the center of attention! Why is that?

I agree that many people that call themselves "Christian" are nothing of the sort. I have met many of them and I'm sure forever will. However, THAT was not the point of this post. Please stop the argument over something so trivial as it is making you two look worse than the writer here apparently has. No offense.<br /><br />The point of this post, if I read it right (and Mat, please correct me if I'm wrong), is to point out the stupidity and proof of such perverse acts as well as make it clear that Russia has been there and done that and will not return to their vomit -so the West should stop trying.<br /><br />And forgive me, but Mat's passion and zeal here does not change this message or make it any less true. Honestly, it only further solidifies it in my opinion. You, Harry and Archer, have proven this by your own manner of speaking as well. And now with this post, I am.<br /><br />In exposing truth, you will always stir up some sort of reaction -whether it's said one way or another- because not everyone wants to hear the truth. Perhaps Mat could have said it a little more gently, but then again, what kind of post would it be? This issue is not something to be taken lightly, especially in their situation from what it sounds like.<br /><br />Judging??? What, may I ask, are you doing right this very minute by accusing Mat Rodina of the very same thing, Harry?<br /><br />Do you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that his intent was to judge Christians in the US with this post? No.<br /><br />Are you then certain that anything he says is false? As I already stated, there is truth behind his words that Christians are not always, as you say, "real Christians."<br /><br />Mat's honesty should not be considered nasty nor judgmental. He's got more guts than I've seen in anyone, I dare say. That's commendable. And again, his passion speaks for itself in accordance with the truth.<br /><br />Thank you again, Mat Rodina.Lauri Piercehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18062834064566559550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8019578584768795401.post-62699469337003998602009-06-08T09:31:21.831+03:002009-06-08T09:31:21.831+03:00harry you are a very sensitive fellow if you view ...<b>harry</b> you are a very sensitive fellow if you view my comment as "uncivil" and "acid".

The point is you can get the message across without using as much acid in your comments, unless your intent is to stir up anger and resentment instead of exposing truth. It is not becoming on anyone to be nasty just because they are capable. If you go far enough I see you may not be published at all on this blog. Civility is always a good idea.

I sense that you think you are a Christian and yet the tone and bravado in some of your rants indicates you are not. If you are a believer you apparently have appointed yourself as judge over a lot of Christians not to mention unbelievers here in the US. Real Christians do not care for the direction Obama and the Liberal Democrats are taking our country but unfortunately the voters have spoken. (A lot of the voters were fraudulant but that is another subject.) Until a few years back I recall Russians were unable to cast a ballot except for a candidate in the Communist party. Your freedoms were none existent yet your citizens remained arrogant for no reason. Now that you have achieved a measure of success you have become unbearable. I have met many of your ex-citizens in the United States who have become citizens of the US and they don't seem to be too upset to be here. I'm not aware of a huge number Americans trying to become citizens in Russia though. Perhaps that is because the KGB still lives on in the form of Vladamir Putin. He still calls the shots and is waiting in the wings to retake his position over Russia once again. I suspect your freedoms are watched very carefully. I have noticed most Russians that I have met, but not all, display the same angry atittude that you have. Why is that? For a smart guy you don't seem to realize that constant bragging about Russia becomes obnoxious very quickly. If it was such a paradise you would have the same kind of illegal immigration policy the US has. Remember, Pro 16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. Tone it down a bit. Your points are well taken.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16833965125607957374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8019578584768795401.post-11502999297008505182009-06-06T02:12:12.816+03:002009-06-06T02:12:12.816+03:00God bless Holy Mother Russia.

They start off by saying, all they want is to march, and in the forst few years that is all they will so, then they will start parading around naked and commiting sex acts on each other in the middle of the street as they do here in the west. The time to stop them is before they start.<br /><br />I have a great hope that Russia can be an example to the west when the inevitable collapse comes, when we are rebuilding our nations, then Russia can be the example of what we should be.

(Though I know you're having HUGE gains over there and for that I congradulate you). Now, Despite what Mr. Obama says, nearly 80% of all American's are Christian and despite what you may have read, there is practically zero animosity between the different branches of Christianity here in the U.S. Generally speaking the only time that Religion becomes an issue, is when couples are dating that are from different Religions entirely, such as when my cousin dated a Jewish guy. It became an issue for his family, because they wanted him to marry a Jewish girl. Generally, if two people are of different denominations of Christianity, there's almost NEVER any issue whatsoever.<br /><br />Throughout the world, Religion is an area of a lot of strife, not so in the U.S.<br /><br />Our problems here, are PURELY financial. Our biggest issue is that the Corrupt politicians have crafted the Tax code into a weapon of mass financial destruction, solely designed for the purpose of getting THEMSELVES re-elected. So called Campaign Finance Reforms have created such incredibly archaic rules, that you need to hire an attorney just to be able to run for any office, so you don't run afoul of the myriad of Campaign Finance Rules. Again, another weapon used to keep themselves in Power.<br /><br />History has shown us that lower taxes, less regulation and smaller government, such as the reforms instituted by Ronald Reagan, result in huge increases in government revenue by virtue of increased economic activity. This legacy has been perverted and subverted by the Left Wing Media, who want to engage in Class warfare as a means of gaining political power.NoSocialism.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02684647225224996398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8019578584768795401.post-52535023747009739632009-06-05T10:11:00.691+03:002009-06-05T10:11:00.691+03:00Better you go practice the "kinky sex" y...<i>Better you go practice the "kinky sex" you advertise as your first hobby, rather than talk with adults on adult realities...being a professor has kept you from reality...buy a ticket to Russia and go get a clue.</i><br /><br />Oh man!

Before the US will disintegrate (which is not to be in any near future, I am certain of it), the Russian Federation will fall apart. Besides, they don’t need people (hence such low taxes) – for 93% of their government’s revenue comes from oil and gas, it is a fact.--<br /><br />Yes, let us see which nation is more stable: the one that is 95% the same ethnic group with one main language and 85% the same religion, with massive reserves of cash and one that has survived Khazar, Mongolian, Polish, Swedish, Arabic/Turkish, Persian, Japanese, German, British, French, Prussian invasions or the one that has hundreds of ethnic-Americans, ethnic of choice to add there, that has regions that have very radically different cultures, that has no one langauge, that has some 10% of the population illegally from a totally different culture concentrated primarly next to their mother country and demanding that the Europeans get out, a nation that has no unifying religion and no longer one unifying culture and whose economy is at best in stagflation, with no reserve having to borrow money from everyone in the world and print it with such speed forests disappear...which nation will survive....history tells us the first sure as hell will.<br /><br />You say history is your hobby, not much of one it seems.<br /><br />--This is the funniest blog I have come upon in a long time – thanks for a good laugh, dude. It is ridiculous how, living in the West and partaking of its glory and its good fruits, you seem to enjoy spitting in the well. A lot of Russian emigrants tend to feel that way; however, I know of no one who has left back for the dump they call Russia, where people are poor, hateful toward each other, corrupt to the T, and where all of us, who have left for the US and the West in general, are considered traitors. So, blog on my young friend (for, quite clearly, you’re a pup). In Russia they’d jail you for your propaganda stand. Enjoy the freedom to trash the society you live in, my friend.--<br /><br />First, I am not in the US. Second, I've been to the US. Third, I know plenty of people who came back to Russia and come back. <br /><br />Fourth, when you left as a small child, which I am sure you did, and your daddy tell you stories, did you ever wonder, to stop your self hatred as a Russian yourself, and maybe go see reality? No? Well, you prove yourself a fool and a self loather with your words and lies.<br /><br />Arrested? I can walk to any media stand and buy any one of a dozen different news papers daily, all with different political views, many opposed to the government. i can turn on TV and watch 4-6 local news channels (depending where you live) and see various views and there is also on my cable CNN, Deutchawella and BBC. <br /><br />What do you know but stupid propaganda and half truth from the 1970s? That you advertise on your profile you are Russian and then dirt talk Russians, Russian culture and everything else, shows just how pathetically tormented your mind is.<br /><br />Better you go practice the "kinky sex" you advertise as your first hobby, rather than talk with adults on adult realities...being a professor has kept you from reality...buy a ticket to Russia and go get a clue.Stanislavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01399899593777065344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8019578584768795401.post-5250146275693335422009-06-05T09:25:22.998+03:002009-06-05T09:25:22.998+03:00@Piotr P

It still has no industry to speak of, no infrastructure, no culture of hard work and honesty, and a lot of imperial ambition.--<br /><br />Why do you post in your profile you are Russian? You obviously dispise what you are. No industry? Come to the Ural Mountains or European Russia and I will show you no industry. Russia is the 3rd largest producer of steel and steel products, presses, hammers, heavy equipment in the world. It produces quite a bit of the fertilizer the US uses. It can feed itself and cloth itself, unlike some.<br /><br />Russia is the 4th largest automobile market in Europe and most are built in Russia.<br /><br />Boeing's design department is primarily out of Russia. IT is huge, also, the main competitor to India. <br /><br />Nuclear civilian industry, space industry, shipping (most American military equipment rides on Russian or Norweign ships).<br /><br />You know nothing, your posts are worse then the worst russophobic bigot, which, you being Russian and advertising it shows how pathetic that really is. But there is a place in the world for lapdogs too...maybe if you are patted on your head for spewing filth about your own people long eough, you forget your own self hatred.Stanislavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01399899593777065344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8019578584768795401.post-59571982583600664932009-06-05T08:09:14.987+03:002009-06-05T08:09:14.987+03:00Piotr P. said...

It still has no industry to speak of, no infrastructure, no culture of hard work and honesty, and a lot of imperial ambition. This blog is about Russia and how it will rise as the US falls. The premises themselves are idiotic. My dad used to say: “When a fat man shrinks, a skinny one withers away”. Before the US will disintegrate (which is not to be in any near future, I am certain of it), the Russian Federation will fall apart. Besides, they don’t need people (hence such low taxes) – for 93% of their government’s revenue comes from oil and gas, it is a fact."<br /><br />Again you show your ignorance here. The Soviet Union has been experiencing an Industrial revival of epic proportions over the past Decade. I bet you were not even aware that an apartment in the middle of Moscow is now more expensive than in the middle of Manhatten did you? Of course not, since you're living in the past. Truth is, the United States has MASSIVE energy reserves, and has ZERO NEED for imports, but no will to drill for those reserves, so instead we enrich our trading partners in the Middle East and In Canada at our expense. We have enough Coal to power every single home in America for a thousand years, and Enough Oil in the Gulf of Mexico to power every car for the next 100 years. But we don't tap it. Why not? Enviro-Crazy's that would have us all living in Mud Huts.<br /><br />Our insane levels of Taxation, where the bottom 38% pay NOTHING and the top 5% pay 67% of the bill is absolutely insane. It's a system that robs from the MOST productive citizens to reward the laziest and least productive. It's a system that is completely unsustainable.NoSocialism.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02684647225224996398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8019578584768795401.post-42127453549399363532009-06-05T08:08:39.393+03:002009-06-05T08:08:39.393+03:00Piotr P. said...

Just for the record though, it was Georgie W. who got us into this mess, not Obama (although Obama’s policies do not help, quite clearly)."<br /><br />So the fact that both the Congress and Senate, who have been run by the Democrats since 2006, even though THEY are the ones who actually write and pass the budget, they bear no responsibility. Of Which Obama was one of those Senators!? Also, Under Bush, the ANNUAL budget deficit was running around 250 Billion a year, until last year when the Economy collapsed, it ran closer to 400 Billion, and now under Obama, he's run that figure up .. SO FAR ... to around 1.8 TRILLION!!!!<br /><br />Piotr P. said...<br /><br />Quote..."The $600K+ of debt (combined private and public) that each family supposedly carries on is meaningless. These are the dollars that we print ourselves, as the country, right? , so, inflation will take care of it. One thing for sure – do not pay off your mortgage and car loans – in a year or two your $100K mortgage will be worth much much less. It is NOT good for the country’s image, I agree, but it is the step in the right direction; namely, to make the amount of currency on the market so absurdly huge that it will become meaningless. These are just meaningless numbers – don’t stress over them too much."<br /><br />You are obviously a child and don't remember the 70's. Back then Carter decided to burden Every American household with massive amounts of debt as well, not anywhere near the numbers we have today, but as a percentage of our income is was stifling high. What happened you ask? High levels of inflation, and before you say that it doesn't affect you consider this. If you had to pay 24% interest to buy a car, the car payments would double. Same for your house. Back then the problem was MUCH smaller, yet it still caused 12% unemployment and a lot of misery. Every year, wages could not keep up with inflation, and people never had enough to buy just the Basics. So please don't tell me that it doesn't matter, because I remember what things were like in the 70's and 80's and hell YES it did matter. Why don't you ask your parents what kind of homes they lived in or what kind of cars they drove, I can practically guarantee you that your parents lived in a home that was half the size of the home you live in now and their cars were no where near the luxury of the cars we drive today. The reason we've been able to do this is because our low inflation has kept interest rates low, which in turn allows us to buy more expensive cars and homes with lower payments. If this goes away, we will have destroyed our standard of living.NoSocialism.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02684647225224996398noreply@blogger.com
