Mika: My Friends Visiting France “Viscerally Embarrassed to be Americans”
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 01/08/2018 4:12:35 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Was that actually Mika Brzezinski on Morning Joe today, or had someone hacked into the MSNBC feed and inserted a parody bit about elitist, Trump-hating snobs?

We’ll look into it. In the meantime, here’s what “Mika” ostensibly said this morning:

“I had some friends that went to Paris over the holiday, and they said they were just viscerally embarrassed to be Americans. They said it was the first time that it was sort of chilling. That they didn’t even want to share where they were from.”

Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

tell them to visit the cemeteries there full of American soldiers that liberated the French. then shut the hell up.


No kidding!! I doubt this twit’s “friends” bothered to visit Normandy or the Lorraine cemetery, to pay respect to American heroes who fought and died for their leftist hack arses.

I’m viscerally embarrassed that this dingbat “MikAh” is allowed on our airwaves.

Your headline for this thread should have been, “Mika Brzezinski Claims to Have Friends”.

If your out there Oliver North, the ARMY MOS 92-M, “Theirs is a war story that needs to be told!” Drop me an e-mail here. I’ve been researching their history for years. It needs to be told.

Really stupid. It looks like they hate what Trump is doing, and so they are embarrassed to be Americans. What? That doesn’t compute with me.

The simple fact of being American does not impart to me any guilt, anger, opprobrium or annoyance over the actions of any other American. Sorry, but we are individuals, and not merely part of a collectivity.

There is no such thing as group action, or group pride, or group guilt. Anyone who thinks otherwise is an a$$sshole.

The French have never forgiven the Americans for saving their asses in two world wars.

The French hate Americans? Big deal. It's a defense mechanism; deep down, they know they're losers on the international stage. It's jealousy; they wish they could just once have a military victory.

The Complete Military History of France

- Gallic Wars (58 BC–51 BC)
- Lost. In a war whose ending foreshadows the next 2000 years of French history, France is conquered by of all things, an Italian. [Or at this time in history, a Roman]

- Norse invasions, 841-911.
- After having their way with the French for 70 years, the Norse are bribed by a French King named Charles the Simple (really!) who gave them Normandy in return for peace. Normans proceed to become just about the only positive military bonus in France's [favor] for next 500 years.

- 1066 A.D.: William The Conquerer Duke and Ruler of France Launches the Largest Invasion in the history of the world no other was as large until the same trip was taken in reverse on June 6th 1944 William Fights Harold for the Throne of England Which old king Edward rightfully left to William but Harold Usurped the throne Will fights the Saxons (English)wins and the French Rule England for the Next 80 Years. then the French start the largest building and economic infrastructure since the fall of the Roman Empire the Norman Economy skyrockets and the Normans inadvertantly start England to become a major world Power Vive La France-

However: We seem to have overlooked some basic facts. Firstly, Philip the First (1060 - 1108) was King of France at the time of the Norman invasion of 1066 - William was Duke of Normandy and, incidentally, directly descended from the Vikings. William was, therefore, as alien to France as the experience of victory. Since Philip did not invade England, the victory at Hastings was Norman - not French. Normandy may be a part of France now but it most certainly wasn't in 1066. Therefore, William's coronation as King of England had nothing whatsoever to do with the French. As usual, they were nowhere near the place when the fighting was going on. The mistaken belief that 1066 was a French victory leads to the Third Rule of French Warfare; "When incapable of any victory whatsoever - claim someone else's".

- Third Crusade (1189–1192)
- Philip Augustus of France throws hissy-fit, leaves Crusade for Richard the Lion Heart to finish.

- Seventh Crusade (1248 – 1254)
- St. Louis of France leads Crusade to Egypt. Resoundingly crushed.

- [Eighth] Crusade (1270)
- St. Louis back in action, this time in Tunis. See Seventh Crusade.

- Hundred Years War (1337 to 1453)
- Mostly lost, saved at last by female schizophrenic who inadvertently creates The First Rule of French Warfare; "France's armies are victorious only when not led by a Frenchman." Sainted.

- Italian Wars (1494–1559)
- Lost. France becomes the first and only country to ever lose two wars when fighting Italians.

- Wars of Religion (1562–1598)
- France goes 0-5-4 against the Huguenots

- Thirty Years War (1618–1648)
- France is technically not a participant, but manages to get invaded anyway. Claims a tie on the basis that eventually the other participants started ignoring her.

- The Dutch War (1672–1678)
- Tied

- India, 1673-1813
- British were far more charming than French, ended up victors. Therefore the British are well known for their tea, and the French for their whine (er, wine...). Ensures 200 years of bad teeth in England.

- War of the Augsburg League/King William's War/French and Indian War (1688-1697)
- Lost, but claimed as a tie. Three ties in a row induces deluded Frogophiles the world over to label the period as the height of French military power.

- War of the Spanish Succession (1701-1714)
- Lost. The War also gave the French their first taste of a Marlborough, which they have loved every since.

- Seven year War (1756-1763)
- Lost: after getting hammered by Frederick the Great of Prussia (yep, the Germans again) at Rossbach, the French were held off for the remainder of the War by Frederick of Brunswick and a hodge-podge army including some Brits. War also saw France kicked out of Canada (Wolfe at Quebec) and India (Clive at Plassey).

- American Revolution (1765–1783)
- In a move that will become quite familiar to future Americans, France claims a win even though the English colonists saw far more action. This is later known as "de Gaulle Syndrome", and leads to the Second Rule of French Warfare; "France only wins when America does most of the fighting."

- French Revolution (1789-1799)
- Won, primarily due the fact that the opponent was also French.

- 1798-1801, Quasi-War with U.S.
- French privateers (semi-legal pirates) attack U.S. shipping. U.S. fights France at sea for 3 years; French eventually cave; sets precedent for next 200 years of Franco-American relations.

- Haiti: 1791-1804
- French defeated by rebellion after sacrificing 4,000 Poles to yellow fever. Shows another rule of French warfare; when in doubt, send an ally.

- Barbary Wars, (1801-1815/16)
- Pirates in North Africa continually harass European shipping in Meditteranean. France's solution: pay them to leave us alone. America's solution: kick their asses ("the Shores of Tripoli"). [America's] first overseas victories, won 1801-1815.

- The Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815)
- Lost. Temporary victories (remember the First Rule!) due to leadership of a Corsican, who ended up being no match for a British footwear designer. (Should be noted that the Grand Armee was largely (~%50) composed of non-Frenchmen after 1804 or so. Mainly disgruntled minorities and anti-monarchists. Not surprisingly, these performed better than the French on many occasions.)

- Mexico: 1863-1864
- France attempts to take advantage of Mexico's weakness following its thorough thrashing by the U.S. 20 years earlier ("Halls of Montezuma"). Not surprisingly, the only unit to distinguish itself is the French Foreign Legion (consisting of, by definition, non-Frenchmen). Booted out of the country a little over a year after arrival.

- The Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871)
- Lost. Germany first plays the role of drunk Frat boy to France's ugly girl home alone on a Saturday night.

- Panama jungles: 1881-1890
- No one but nature to fight, France still loses; canal is eventually built by the U.S. 1904-1914.

- World War I (1914-1918)
- Tied and on the way to losing, France is saved by the United States [Entering the war late]. Thousands of French women find out what it's like to not only sleep with a winner, but one who doesn't call her "Fraulein." Sadly, widespread use of condoms by American forces forestalls any improvement in the French bloodline.

- World War II (1939-1945)
- Lost. Conquered French liberated by the United States and Britain just as they finish learning the Horst Wessel Song.

Also should be noted that France attempted to hide behind the Maginot line, sticking their head in the sand and pretending that the Germans would enter France that way. By doing so, the Germans would have been breaking with their traditional route of invading France, entering through Belgium (Napoleonic Wars, Franco-Prussian War, World War I, etc.). French ignored this though, and put all their effort into these defenses.

- First Indochina War (1946-1954)
- Lost. French forces plead sickness; take to bed with the Dien Bien Flu

- Algerian War (1954-1962)
- Lost. Loss marks the first defeat of a western army by a Non-Turkic Muslim force since the Crusades, and produces the First Rule of Muslim Warfare; "We can always beat the French." This rule is identical to the First Rules of the Italians, Russians, Germans, English, Dutch, Spanish, Vietnamese and Esquimaux.

- War on Terrorism: Ongoing
- France, keeping in mind its recent history, surrenders to Germans and Muslims just to be safe. Attempts to surrender to Vietnamese ambassador fail after he takes refuge in a McDonald's.

The question for any country silly enough to count on the French should not be "Can we count on the French?", but rather "How long until France collapses?"

"Going to war without France is like going deer hunting without an accordion. All you do is leave behind a lot of noisy baggage."

Or, better still, a quote from the Wall Street Journal: "They're there when they need you."

Hey, some people were stupid enough to think that electing a Communist illegal alien made it cool to be American again. Not surprising, there’s no explaining some people’s kids.

I was embarrassed traveling overseas when Hussein was president too. Best way I can describe it is the way a prize fighter would feel if forced to wear a tutu for 8 years. It’s humiliating.

The main difference between ‘friends’ and family is that you can choose your friends.

For the record, the “friends” were traveling to Paris. Paris is not France just as San Francisco is not America
