Hit a nerve, there

Vladimir Putin, the world's leading paleocon

Annoyed, they are.

But I never knew Pat was in a culture war “for mankind’s future.”

That seems an odd claim for a man who has spent above a decade proclaiming himself a leader of anti-interventionism and very firmly rejecting US globo-meddling.

Even in this piece he is taking Puntin’s side against that.

We knew all along the culture war is global for the liberals.

But the paleocons?

That’s something new.

PB writes,

President Reagan once called the old Soviet Empire "the focus of evil in the modern world." 

President Putin is implying that Barack Obama's America may deserve the title in the 21st century.

No, Putin did not imply that.

But Pat meant to put such an implication into Putin's mouth, to make the gall more bitter for sociocons like himself.

Remember that this is about gay marriage and nothing else.

Just gay marriage.

Just little ole that.

Well, all right.

"The whole panoply of Hollywood values."

That makes us "the focus of evil in the modern world"?

He even quotes Putin in favor of democracy.
