There are too many people stuck in propaganda...from their grandparents' time.

The smearing of Putin, the man who has kept us all out of WWIII, is absolutely indefensible, but it is all one hears on the M$M.

It is frightening to find such closed minds on a supposedly open-minded website, but there it is, every single day. Many moderators (not all) are just as bad as the propagandists.
