One has to wonder if Putin is far more intelligent than any leader in this country. He sees the danger of the unrestrained homosexual agenda that we just don't want to look at, and like any patriotic Russian, he's taking measures to protect his people.
Why burden yourself with stuff like free speech. If only we had the 'intelligence' to criminalize any speech you don't like, violate the right to assembly if you don't like who is assembling, punishing the press if they report on what you don't want them to report on, and subject millions of people to degradation, persecution and debasement to satisfy your personal opinions.
Yeah, I'm not too keen on any of that. I think the best response to speech you don't like...is more speech. Not more authoritarianism.
But then I'm a 'rights trump powers' kinda person. Which puts me at odds with most Russian leaders. And quite a few American conservatives. From your posts, you'd probably one of the latter.
