Republican’s Unabashed, Unrequited Love for a Tyrannical Enemy of Freedom
“I love him, I love him, I love him,
And where he goes,
I'll follow, I'll follow, I'll follow.
He'll always be my true love, my true love, my true love
From now until forever, forever, forever”
“(Putin) is a
strong leader… He’s making mincemeat out of our President” – Donald Trump
Donald Trump is pure vulgar, traitorous
scum – and that’s about the best that can be said of him. For this go round, we
will forgo commentary on his publicly professed incestuous desires, the
witnessed and testified to child rapes, the admitted serial sexual assaults and
the hundreds of illegal business practices /lawsuits, and instead focus on his
passionate and unfulfilled crush on Russian President, Vladimir Putin. Now,
while Putin does not directly return the amorous ardor that he receives from
the President Erect, he does string him along and tease him enough with
shirtless, lustful visions of the possibilities ahead that Putin has complete
control of Donald’s minute and pliable intellect, and come January 20th,
will be the practical and acting leader of the United States of America.
But, sadly and unfortunately, the
Fuhrer of 5th Avenue is far from being alone in his articulated admiration,
appreciation and veneration for the tyrannical, murdering Muscovite. The
rewritten and updated dissertation to follow was originally posted almost 3
years ago, long before some 62 million racists and misogynists cast their
ballots for Russian rule and to make America white again. Prominent and
powerful Republicans had already fallen head over heels with the cruel autocrat,
and many declared their deep disappointment in the fact that Obama, and not Putin,
was our country’s Commander in Chief. With the recent revelations of definitive
Russian involvement in our now illegitimate election, this golden oldie remains
steadfastly relevant, so I share it with you once again.
Revised from March, 2014 -
Ah, our beloved Republicans – so often
the staunchest of patriots by self-declaration, while behaving virulently
unpatriotic in practice. The current and relevant case in point - the
titillating tingle, the erotic exhilaration, the feverish fervor, the enchanted
evening experienced whenever seeing shirtless, boy-toy Vladimir Putin across a
crowded room. But besides the given, the understood and the obvious that
they favor any and every animal, vegetable or mineral to B.H. Obama, what’s to
explain this unusual and unexpected, particular affinity between the Communist
former KGB agent and America’s Far Right? Perhaps it’s a new sort
of love/hate relationship. Conservatives love Putin because they hate the same
things - homosexuals, equality, self-expression, self-determination, truth,
justice and the American way. It’s a veritable fraternity of abhorrence for
these brethren in oppression.
Sure, Righties yak vociferously about
freedom and liberty, but their actual actions yell louder than a Sam
Kinison/Bobcat Goldthwait comedy throw-down as, red state by even redder state,
they attempt to suppress voter rights, quash marriage equality and battle
against any societal parity for women, be it in the home, the workplace or the
doctor’s office.
Putin has become our Radical Right’s
archetypical leader because he can put into practice the policies of
intolerance and exclusion that they can only dream of, fantasize about and, no
doubt in some cases, even pleasure themselves to. He treads the same political and
ideology path as Tea-publicans only with the bonafide power to turn their
reactionary hopes, wishes and reveries into repulsive reality. Putin’s social
conservatism, religious zealotry in support of a state religion, militarism,
homophobia; his belief in his right to invade
sovereign nations, to harm and imprison those with whom he disagrees, to feign
democracy while rigging elections for oligarchical outcome, make him a CPAC
dreamboat.
"I looked the man in the
eye. I found him to be very straightforward and trustworthy... I was able to
get a sense of his soul." - George W. Bush
“Putin is right on these issues...
he has taken a stand to protect his nation’s children from the damaging effects
of any gay and lesbian agenda... America’s own morality has fallen so far that
on this issue — Russia’s standard is higher than our own." - Franklin
Graham
“Putin decides what he wants to do and
does it in half a day. He makes a decision and executes it quickly and
everybody reacts. That’s what you call a real leader.” – Rudolph Giuliani
“(He’s) the defender of the Christian
civilization… the lion of Christianity, the defender of Christian values, the
president that’s calling his nation back to embracing its identity as a nation
founded on Christian values” - Bryan Fischer, American Family Association
"Vladimir Putin has looked like a statesman" - Pat
Buchanan
"He's a statesman, he's a partner in peace and he's in
a position where he can lecture the United States of America."- Charles
Krauthammer, Syndicated Columnist
"If this were a tennis match it would be the umpire
shouting advantage Putin."- Sen. Rand Paul
"Look at Putin -- what he's doing with Russia -- I mean, you
know, what's going on over there. I mean this guy has done -- whether you like
him or don't like him -- he's doing a great job in rebuilding the image of
Russia and also rebuilding Russia period.” – Donald Trump
"I
think he's done really a great job of outsmarting our country.” –
Donald Trump
"I
think I'd get along very well with Vladimir Putin. I just think so.” – Donald Trump
"He's running
his country and at least he's a leader, unlike what we have in this country. I think our country does plenty of killing
also." – Donald Trump
"I
don't think he has any respect for Clinton. I think he respects me. I think it
would be great to get along with him.” – Donald Trump
“I always knew he was
very smart!” – Donald Trump
How Do They Love Thee? Let Me Count the Ways -
Putin’s Resume
"Millions around the world increasingly see America not
as a model of democracy but as relying solely on brute force, cobbling
coalitions together under the slogan, 'You're either with us or against
us.'" - Vladimir Putin
Before the GOP files the legal
documentation for the official nomenclature change to Good Old Putin, some lowlights from the matinee
idol who sets Trumpsters hearts aflutter and launches libidos into overdrive -
Anyone with a remote control is aware
of Russia’s annexation of Crimea and its installation of soldiers on the
Ukraine border (Obama’s fault, of course) but a U.S. State Department study
reveals the wide-ranging extent of Putin’s human right’s violations. He has
suppressed dissent, persecuted LGBT citizens, ignored the rule of law and
allowed killing and torture by police -
“… allegations of torture and excessive
force by law enforcement officials, life-threatening prison conditions,
interference in the judiciary and the right to a fair trial, restrictions on
freedom of speech and press, restrictions on free assembly and association,
restrictions on religious freedom of some religious minorities, electoral
irregularities, widespread corruption, societal and official intimidation of
civil society and labor activists, violence against women and limits on the
rights of women in certain regions, trafficking in persons, and limitations on
workers’ rights… Reports from human rights groups and former police officers
indicated that police most often used electric shocks, suffocation, and
stretching or applying pressure to joints and ligaments, as those methods are
less prone to leave visible marks.”
Then, of course, a particular favorite
of America’s holier than thou population is Putin’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill,
which makes it unlawful to inform children of the existence of homosexuality or
to equate homosexuality with heterosexuality in any way. Violators face fines,
jail time, and immediate deportation (the latter being much more of a reward
than a punishment.) Resulting violence against members of the LGBT
community has skyrocketed as police not only provide no protection but actively
participate in the brutality (actions many U.S. Bible-thumpers label,
“defending our religious liberties.”)
Treason: a violation of allegiance to
one’s state
From the day of Barack Obama’s inauguration, continuing through
Russia’s installation of Donald Trump as their puppet ruler, Republicans have
demonstrated, time and again, their disloyalty to America and to its foundation
and principles. And their voracious, vocal and vehement exaltation for Russian
President Vladimir Putin is merely a continuation and most contemporary communication
of that outlook.
Ironically and irrationally, while GOP
supporters spent 8 years painting our president a Communist, their pulses
race wildly for a genuine, card-carrying member of the Stalinist flock,
preferring a ruthless, dictatorial,
Bolshevik foreign leader to an American, democratically-elected President whose
ascension and whose biography is the living embodiment of the American Dream.
The Right Wing’s problem with pigmentation perception is tragically sad, and
pragmatically perilous for, when all is said and done, no matter the harrowing
consequences, in the cocktail lounge of global politics a Conservative will
always chose a White Russian over a Black and Tan.
We conclude as Little Peggy March
performs the GOP anthem, “I Will Follow Him.”
