God Bless America

I got an email from a friend today, we've mentioned him before, he lives in Moscow. I thought it was interesting and i wanted to share a piece of it with you.

One disturbing thing here: Racism is getting very overt. Skinheads are killing or beating up people from the Caucuses and African students almost every day. They stabbed a 9-year-old Tajik girl to death in Petersburg a while back. Police rarely catch the perpetrators, and if they do, they are usually not convicted of any major crime.
A few days ago, cops showed up at my in-laws apartment. They were ordered to check all apartments in the area where Georgian families live. I don't let (my wife) go anywhere alone - she looks pretty typically Georgian, and that's not very safe right now.
Kind of makes you appreciate the US in a new way. That's what all those stupid anti-America jerks don't get - it's really much better there than anywhere else.


Interesting.


By the way donkey, he says hi, and he was cracking up over the "jew" song post.

Sounds like the Wolf is getting a little paranoid and its time to ease up on the vodka. Caucuses? Theyre killing whitey? That aint right.

So our goal is not to be a better society, but gloat about being better than backassed russia?

So shut up and date Helen Thomas because-after all- she's no Madeline Albright. Thats what these Thomas haters don't understand.

Save that better society altruistic bs for the hippie love-ins. Is it really that hard to just once admit we are the best thing going, warts and all. Is it that hard to at least pretend you love your Country?

yeah, they are the wine country, and even though it can be imported cheaply, putins govt banned it on the fake premise of a health scare. His motivation was that Georgia is trying to join NATO.

Putin your mouf'! Hi, I'm Russian. You might remember me from such famous revolutions as the Bolshevik Revolution which alienated us from the rest of the world & such famous books as The Revolution Betrayed by Leon Trotsky. Sure I have betrayed my people time and again but you just gotta love the fact that I consume a good portion of Europe and Asia. I'm still big there.
