There are many strains in French politics when one studies the history and I read a textbook covering the years 1750-2000 several years ago plus have my own recollections.

Tragically humanism-secularism is very dominant. When Catholic oriented groups began to grow around the turn of the 20th Century and influenced politics, they were banned.

Even before democracy (it came after 1871), at Lourdes the miracle’s existence was at first discouraged by officialdom.

There is Anti-Semitism in French history like the Dreyfus Affair and yes, Jean Marie Le Pen has been dismissive of the Holocaust.

Many men of the Right in French politics with notable exceptions like De Gaulle sided with Laval and Petain (Vichy).

There’s a good streak of libertarianism in French history and politics. When radio broadcasting began in France in the 1920’s, private ownership was allowed making France a standout nation next to the other European countries.

Then World War 2 and government control again.

The NF has its origins in the Right that rose from WW 2 and a movement of small business owners called the “Poujadists” who made their first appearance in the 1950’s.

When DeGaulle decided to pull out of Algeria French colonials returned to the south of France and their experience in being forced out by the Leftists in Algeria and DeGaulle’s cave in were life affecting experiences.
There was a militant movement that tried to assassinate De Gaulle in early 1963 called the OAS (Secret Army Organization).

When North Africans and other Africans began to land in France after colonialism ended, the southern French felt pushed out and the NF began to rise.

There’s been an ‘immigration problem’ in France for some 50 years now, a little longer than in this country.

That part of the NF I can handle, but remember the Jew hating people of France, Vichy collaborators and their ancestors who had the poison planted in them.

There are my concerns about the NF.

So what’s the alternative, more of the status quo?

The NF is the only party that can save France. You are echoing the criticisms of the left. In Europe, any party that is nationalistic is deemed to be Far Right and Neo-nazi. The Dems and the MSM do the same thing here to the Tea Party and those who want to enforce our immigration laws. Today's NF is far different than the one formed by her Le Pen's father.

The EU is in shambles. The Maastricht Treaty and open borders have been exposed by the mass invasion of Europe by refugees from the Middle East, Africa, and Southwest Asia. Europe is on the path to suicide unless parties like the NF and UKIP take control.

We are headed down the same road with mass immigration from the Third World. Demography is destiny.
