Think about it...

Putin is shoving it back in Bush's face, really, because he's showing how Real Men take freedom away from the Serfs. I know, I know, Putin is racing faster to the bottom because his Republic was young and ripe for the taking. Amerika had 225 years of democratic-Republic until the plug was pulled, and the bestiges will live on forever in sham elections and 8-year Emperors.
Putin is racing back to reestablish control recently lost...the Busheviks are at a disadvantage because the Founding Fathers made it so hard to dismantle the Old Republic he cannot impose the Iron Fist quite yet.
But if Putin keeps pushing the envelope, Bush will have to respond more quickly.
Think about it, Putin has, like, taken the ENTIRE Bush laybook and implemented it in a few short years, taking it already 10 years ahead of where Bush is now. That headline, it could be the 2010 Washington Post Headline for Imperial Amerika.
Wow.
What's scary is, when the Busheviks seized power in their Bloodless Coup of 2000, I shortly predicted that the 21st Century might be "The Age of Totalitarianism" and that at the very least, former dictators and secret police chiefs alike were saying to themselves, "Look what the Bushes are doing to their own people? Why in hell did we break up the Secret Police and allow relatively Free Elections in the first place? Because the MORAL AMERICANS said so? Hah, look what they do to their own people now. They are no different from us."
Another prediction coming true that I desperately wished were not.
And listen to this cold-blooded Russian Bushevik Bastard,
"A new political era is beginning," said Vladislav Surkov, the deputy head of the presidential administration responsible for overseeing elections: "Parties who did not make it into the Duma should take it calmly, and understand that their historic mission is finished." So now Putin gives us a preview of what is in store for our children's children...
