Freepers can decide for themselves the extent to which political trends in France resemble those in the US.

France has always been a good friend to the US. It’s always right there when it needs us.

When they say “Americanization” they are referring to the decadent, depraved, hedonistic, left wing Americans, i.e. those members of the scum-of-the-earth democratic party.

I dunno.

For starters, it's not like rioting in France began in the 1980's. The Réveillon Riots about runaway inflation was before even Brandon was born (1780's).

And, well, let's be honest about Catholicism's decline in France. Yes, the white folk French are probably becoming more secular, but the mass invading rapefugees are more muslim than a Hillary culture advisor.

Its interesting how for Jerôme Fourquet, what Americans call globalization, for French means “Americanization.”

If you want to be even more honest the decline of Christianity began long before.

The french revolution was virulently anti-Christian.

And "decadent, depraved, hedonistic, left wing" is pretty much a description of france for the past 400 years.

Remember how they were whining at us about how we were so uptight about married politicians cheating and should just accept that everyone in government had a mistress or three?

No they aren't...read the article to find out why your wrong.

I’m not so sure. What kind of people name their kids Kevin and Dylan, eats at “Buffalo Grill”, listens to American country music, wants a suburban home with a garden and maybe a swimming pool, and is not down with globalization?

[Seruzawa]

The French love Americans! French people can be found in airports, hotels and bistros extending their hands to visiting Americans in friendship... palms up.

Interesting read, thanks for posting. I agree with the author - the divide here is similar and is shaping along class lines. It may be wishful thinking, but I believe it is bad for the Democrat party. And that makes me smile.

A man’s inability to stay loyal to his wife should exclude him from public office. If he cheats on his wife, he will really screw over the citizen. That’s why this country has gone to crap and why China has taken over. There is no love or loyalty left in America. We’ve turned into France’s narcissistic twin.

The globalists have captured America.

True, but snotty. Richer, more educated Frenchies aren't any better. Nor were they as great in the past as they thought they were.

But France was right when they didn't get suckered and sucked into Bush's Iraq adventure.

Don’t take Paris for the whole country. Parisians hate everybody.

The French Commune is all you need to know.

[Tell It Right]

Agreed. About the only thing you can say about the French that's "pro-Christian" compared to the U.S. is they'd riot over gay marriage.

Are the French more risqué than Americans? Yes. And they were pro-gay long before the U.S. But they got heavily offended at the idea of bridging secular hedonism (gay) with Christian virtue (marriage).
