    This is certainly true.

    A very good indication of this can be found in the excellent book, The Fiery Angel. I strongly recommend it.

    Two Trumpians discussing admiration for a Russian novel? Interesting, but I have better things to do.

    The Fiery Angel (Russian: Огненный ангел, Ognenny Angel) is a novel by Russian writer Valery Bryusov. It was first serialized in the Russian literary monthly Vesy in 1907–08, and then published in a book form (in two volumes) in 1908. Set in sixteenth-century Germany, it depicts a love triangle between Renata, a passionate young woman, Ruprecht, a knight and Madiel, the fiery Angel.

    My not having read it, you sure like to do a lot of lumping.
    This, Bob, comes from years of encouraging communism, but running interference for the Russians yourself. Admit it, you are a communist.
    You are a Democrat and a socialist who wants nothing more than to turn our nation into the same mess the Russia has become. You embrace socialism and lessening of our Rights.
    You want to lord over America and its People, cradle to grave.
    meh..............you're no liberal, you're a Socialist with delusions of grandeur. Most of us want to be left alone to live our lives the way WE see fit, not some toy like you wants to turn this country into a 3rd world nation. You are definitely a Russian bot of the highest order.
    It is YOU that is the Russian here.

    You are evidently referring to a very different book than I am.

    The Fiery Angel--at least, the one that I possess--was written by Michael Walsh, in 2018.

    It is subtitled: Art, Culture, Sex, Politics, and the Struggle for the Soul of the West.

    Here is a link to it:https://www.amazon.com/Fiery-Angel-C...eywords=angels

    Not my job to read the minds of people posting obscure books on this forum. If they are smart, they'll include links and specific points. If they are $#@!ing morons or just plain nuts, they'll expect people to read their minds or assume everyone believes like them.

    do you have a link to this statement? Of course, only a Russian would think that an opinion such as yours needs no link

    I am truly sorry that you consider me to be either a "moron" (I will leave alone the adjective) or "just plain nuts."

    But it is my view that you were merely trying to be confrontational.

    (By the way, there is really nothing "obscure" about this book. If that were the case, Amazon would not be selling it.)
