They truly admire these guys and agree with what is most vicious in and about them and their programs.
The False Romance of Russia
Anne Applebaum joins those who try valiantly to hide - or evade - the ugly truth.
Just as well claim the Nazi voters didn't vote for all that mad, anti-Semitic, anti-Slavic, racist shit.
Or deny their profound and forthright embrace of state criminality, violence, and an agenda of war.
As for the ludicrous, glowing (at least in their terms) portraits of the enemy societies and their leaders by useful idiots of the left and, now, the right, they are not evidence of delusion but flat out dishonesty.
They are just flat out lies.
But I can't help but laugh.
She may be the only critic of this new idiotic and contemptible right who sees the grandfather role of Pat Buchanan.
And her exposé of Russian realities as well as the loony leaders of the pop stupid right is an extremely important piece.
She is the kind of conservative I admire, and I have loved her work for many years, now.
Not just her columns but her books.
Her excellent books.
