Pat Buchanan lauds Putin as "traditionalist Christian" who rejects "moral relativism" of West

Clint Eastwood once joked that if you go far enough to the Left you get the same idiots coming at you from the Right.

Case in point: former Nixon speechwriter and all around paleoconservative(ie extreme right winger) Pat Buchanan has recently been kissing up to "anti_Obama" and "traditionalist Christian" Vladimir Putin, citing his opposition to "moral relativism of the West" based on opposition to gay rights.

Well , times have certainly changed- in the 20s and 30s, it was left-wingers such as Paul Robeson, H.G.Wells, Hewlett Johnson aka "The Red Dean Of Canterbury" who functioned as the Kremlin's "useful idiots" nowadays it's righti wingers like Pat Buchanan and our own Nigel Farage who perform this role.

Dear Pat: during the Vietnam War you and your fellow conservatives were busy intoning "America: love it or leave it!"(as if refusal to support government policy implied that those who did so remained in the US purely on sufferance) since you self evidently prefer Vladimir Putin and his theocratic/kleptocratic regime to that of Barack Obama's- shouldn't YOU "leave America" as you self evidently no longer love it???(failing that you can always emigrate to Saudi Arabia or Iran or any other theocratic regime)
