While visiting Vladimir Putin of Russia in Slovakia on Thursday, Feb. 24th, President Bush lectured a visibly irritated Mr. Putin about the universal principals of Democracy. Getting lectured about Democracy from President Bush is a lot like being lectured on chastity from a prostitute, or civility from Bill O'Reilly, so it isn't surprising that Putin wasn't pleased with these words:
"Democracies have certain things in common; they have a rule of law, and protection of minorities, a free press, and a viable political opposition"As far as the words themselves go, I'd love to see President Bush worthy of uttering them.
The Reality

While it is about time someone mentioned to Mr. Putin that his heavy handed ways don't foster liberty, even conservative Republicans have compared American conservatives to "brownshirts".
Read this article in "The American Conservative" if you think I'm joking:
Hunger for Dictatorship
