you forgot to address a couple of questions throughout the thread.

Maybe you missed them.

No, I just don't have the insight you do into why the Pussy Riot was really prosecuted.

Seems that when I ascribe a motive to the GOP, the TP, or to Romney, you believe I'm just making it up. But when you, with no support whatsoever, decide that this occurred because of Putin, it's because you just know.

From 1st paragraph of the article:
Three members of Russian female punk rock band Pussy Riot were sentenced to two years in prison Friday after they were found guilty of hooliganism for performing a song critical of President Vladimir Putin in a church.

Maybe your paralegal can read some for you.

Then there's this gem at the end.

Putin won reelection to the presidency in March in a vote that international observers said did not meet international standards.
The presidential election came just months after allegations of fraud in parliamentary elections prompted the largest anti-government demonstrations Russia had seen in two decades.

Want to make an end run at at some Tea Party (oops, sorry) I mean anti-putin dissenters by cloaking it in some racial (damn, sorry again) religious rationalization? Nah.

You guys are just speculating, like BPV.

Nice double standard at work here.

Also from the article...

Sirovaya rejected the women's defense that they were acting from political motives, ruling that they had intended to insult the Russian Orthodox Church and undermine public order.

Also, this is the single most ridiculous sentence I've seen on VolNation.

actually, your claim that eliminating taxpayer funding of NPR results in the "dumbing down of America" is the single most ridiculous thing on VN in recent memory

I believe your full quote was that America should completely cut public funding for NPR, PBS and "the arts." If that's not dumbing down the country... you're just wrong.

FYP

The National Endowment for the Arts should defunded as well as NPR, PBS, and planned abortionhood. Outsourcing our space program to the Russians is the dumbing down of America. It is inconceivable to me that we have jerked the rug out from under the kind of technological advancement that the space program offered.

you're right, because a crucifix hanging upside down in a jar of piss is worthy of taxpayer support and contributes to broadening the minds of Americans.

Wow, your true colors come out finally. A Socialist ambulance chasing lawyer through and through. They were imprisoned for anti-Putin protests. But you keep on knocking those of us that hide behind our guns and bibles. One of these days we will play cowboys and socialists...we haven't yet, but its a comin.

So you're saying that you don't think that Putin was the reason behind their imprisonment? That you don't think LG has socialistic tendencies? That you aren't an advocate of guns and the bible?

Throwing out a joke at the end of a crazy post in the same crazy tone isn't really going to get a lot of laughs. You can understand why I did not properly infer the joke since, you know, you seem like a right wing gun nut and that phrase didn't seem out of the ordinary. My bad!

One of these items that I remember the most was a display of porno down the hall in the student center that was funded by the NEA. Early 80's if I remember correctly.
