In France, things are not much better. Emmanuel Macron, the current president of the French Republic, has collapsed in popularity from 57% to just starting to break the 30% level. Macron has collapsed in popularity faster than Nicolas Sarkozy did, who was a one-term president. Macron said he wanted to turn France into the “Start-up nation” but really promised the same old traditional political agenda. Many are becoming concerned in France also about the massive immigration. Many French are calling it a Trojan Horse, for now, one-third of all births in France are from non-European.
The problem with all the immigration has been that they dropped all requirements for some sort of skill. This is why many on the legal immigrants in Britain voted for BREXIT for they had had to have the work skill to get in like a doctor or nurse. Trump carried Florida and the Mexican vote for the same reason. So many had to prove they had a skill and go through the Green Card process for years to get in. Nobody is considering the sacrifices others made to migrate. Even the great 19th-century migration from Europe to America, there were no free handouts. They came for the opportunity to work – not a free meal.
He is such a soy boy.Two world wars greatly diminished the man population of france and this is the best they have left.Pathetic.
Bttt
...and he married his math teacher who is a quarter century older than the pasty, pencil-necked peckerhead.
Hey Frenchies! socialism failed (Hollande.) You thought pretty face was a viable alternative. You were wrong. What you need is a boisterous, overconfident type A Alpha Male, a French version of le Donald.
Next time the Frenchies dial up the Arsenal of Democracy, we should just let it ring...
Should have just let the Kaiser have France, would have saved the world from a lot of grief.
Things have been going this way in both Britain and France ever since the US and the Soviet Union colluded to destroy the remnants of their empires after WWII. Imagine yourself one of the French colonials in Algiers when Paris decided to abandon them and leave them to their fate at the hands of the muslims - after having committed many atrocities in their name.
For instance, at the beginning, the Irish sought freedom and opportunity, as is illustrated by the following summary from PRONI records regarding a particular examble:
At the web site of - can be found inspiring words about Irish emigrants to the U. S.
Of special note are the words of John Dunlap, who was responsible for the printing of the Declaraiton of Independence and wrote to his brother-in-law, Robert Rutherford, in Strabane, Co. Tyrone, extolling the advantages of the New World, on 12 May 1785. First, he referred to his brother, James Dunlap, who was likewise in America:
"... my brother James left this (sic) for Kentucky a few weeks ago; I expect him back in the summer; then perhaps he may take a trip to Ireland. The account he gives of the soil is pleasing but the difficulty of going to it from this is great; indeed the distance is not less than a thousand miles. I was there last year and must confess that although the journey is a difficult one I did not begrudge the time and labour it cost me. We are told the parliament of Ireland means to lay restrictions on those who want to come from that country to this; time will tell whether or no this will answer the purpose they intend. People with a family advanced in life find great difficulties in emigration but the young men of Ireland who wish to be free and happy should leave it and come here as quick as possible; there is no place in the world where a man meets so rich a reward for good conduct and industry as in America ... "
Also excerpted from the PRONI site is the following observation from the DUNLAP/DELAP PAPERS Introduction at: "John Dunlap's is not an untypical life story of many who 'went west' from County Tyrone in the 18th century to make a new life and create a new country to which they then encouraged and assisted others to migrate. One went and succeeded and therefore others followed. By the time he died, on 27 November 1812, aged 66, John Dunlap had amassed a large fortune and had subscribed £4,000 in 1780 to the National Bank formed to supply the American Army, and he held 98,000 acres in Virginia and the adjoining counties of Kentucky. He also owned the land on which Utica, Ohio, stands.
"He had played his part in military affairs during the War of Independence, as a founder in 1774 of the 1st Troop of Philadelphia City Cavalry; as a cornet he accompanied this command in the campaign of 1776-1777, taking part in actions at Princeton and Trenton. After the war, from 1789 to 1792, he was a member of the Common Council of Philadelphia. In 1812 he was buried at Christ Church, Philadelphia.
"The site of his birth at Meetinghouse Street, Strabane, is marked by a plaque erected by Strabane Urban District Council in 1965."
My ETO vet uncles would be turning the air blue were they here today. Lots of American blood and misery so Europa could piss it all away and then flip us off.
His handler
Agreed and not again.My tag line says it all.
Nation? As in national? I thought that sort of talk was unpatriotic.
France could have had Marine Le Pen...a nationalist...
Talking of surrender...the French kids who read the letters etc this morning had bright YELLOW scarfs...what was that color representing ???
The French flag has red white blue like ours...why not those colors ???
Agree, my family left Europe starting in the early 1600’s and never went back
Monarchies and Dictatorships “free” one from Choice
The United States promotes and protects You Freedom of Choice
Anyone who takes a contrarian view or position to our foundational ethos and declarations is by definition to me an enemy
Sic Semper Tyrranis!
My deepest regards to your uncles. Another one of mine, a Combat Engineer with Patton’s Third Army, barely made it out of St. Vith in December’˜44, wounded by alive. Poor guy was at Hickhem Field on that Sunday morning, an Army Air Corp mechanic. Wanted to be a pilot . Had his knee shot up. Three years recouping . That ended any chance of being a pilot. Ended up an engineer in the ETO. My late grandfather suffered poison gas attacks twice in 1918. Lost part of one of his lungs. Yeah, they would be cursing up a blue streak if they were alive today. F the Frenchies. They deserve what they get.
