The French government was dissolved Monday amid turmoil among top ministers.

President Francois Hollande asked Prime Minister Manuel Valls to form a new government, which will be announced Tuesday...

"The crisis in the heart of the government is clear, and it promises to be bloody," reported Le Figaro, a right-leaning national newspaper.

That’s OK the muzzies have the French’s backs and will soon have their heads.

I think any socialist leader or useful idiot can be summed up by the following (safe - click on image):

[Lazamataz]

Socialist leader Hollande.....has the worst approval ratings of any French President on record.

Go figger.

Who'da thunk it.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Hollande has the worst approval ratings of any French President on record.

And yet, if someone remotely pro-free market got in and tried to cut spending and reduce taxes and regulation, there would be riots and they'd be booted out in a week. The French people are besotted with Welfare State Socialism just like the rest of the Western population; even moreso. They aren't angry at Hollande. They are angry that they can't get something for nothing -- have a productive economy while having the productive rich hand them a bunch of cash so they can live the good life too.

and yet... if he were black he would still have a 95% approval rating from blacks!

The European Union is starting to sound alot like the old Soviet Union.

It’s hard to understand how these lovely people can make such a hash of everything governmental.

Of late, we have little room to criticize. Also, the French have wisely avoided moving to an electronic voting system. I applaud them.

France...welcome to your dictator.

Can’t wait to watch it happen here if Republican/Conservative take the Senate and we hold the House.

Hollande’s statement sounds very 0bamaesque! “Coherent...” I’ve heard lots of liberals and even younger republican/conservatives express frustration over our “partisan” congress. Add in Reid & Pelosi constantly yelping about Boehner being uncooperative and blocking legislation, and Barry’s comment last summer about a ‘rogue congress/House...” I guarantee you we’ll see it happen here before 2016 if there is any kind of push from a Republican Congress!

Do not anticipate some sort of ‘windfall’ and change from the 2014 sweep. They’ll be lucky if they can stall them until 2016...and then they’ll be blamed AGAIN, for all the ill’s of the world because they wouldn’t be “coherent” with King Barry.

I don’t know who will ascend from the pit of socialism in 2016 to rule over us, but it won’t be pretty.

In some ways it might be a better strategy to just stay home in 2014 and let them run America into the ground. Then we come out swinging for 2016 with a GOP grand plan back to Freedom.

Politically, I believe we’ve been taken hostage and congress in open rebellion going into 2016 is not what we need.

70th anniversary of the liberation of Paris.

History may not repeat itself, but yes, apparently it does rhyme.

[Old Teufel Hunden]

"Keep an eye on Marine LePen. She is coming on strong."

Yes, but is she right like Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher or is she right like Hitler was called right? My fear (for France) is the latter.

[notdownwidems]

That is unexpected; any leftist will tell you that socialism works on paper

Toilet paper, maybe...

[JRandomFreeper]

Republican or conservative? Because the two are very different today. Today's republican leadership in the senate provides crucial cloture votes to advance Harry Reid's liberal agenda.

French government in turmoil? Who knew?

[ExTxMarine]

It is a VERY dotted-line algore-rythm! Much like the calculation on Glo-BULL Warming!!

[ExTxMarine]

They aren't angry at Hollande. They are angry that they can't get something for nothing -- have a productive economy while having the productive rich hand them a bunch of cash so they can live the good life too.

To sum up your statement: France is angry that their socialist utopia isn't actually as wonderful as they were told it was going to be!

[DouglasKC]

Wow....this is huge news.

[dfwgator]

I wouldn’t say like Hitler, but she isn’t our kind of “right” neither.

[Resolute Conservative]

Any storming of the bastille?
