"Second, where Le Pen fetishizes national division, Macron speaks of patriotism joined to opportunity. Even as words alone, this is a political narrative that France desperately needs. As Andrew Hussey explains in his 2014 book, The French Intifada, many young French Muslims feel that their citizenry exists on paper only — that when it comes to education, opportunity, and respect, their country has no interest in them. American conservatives should be alarmed by that sentiment. The glory of American patriotism is its combination of shared opportunity and personal responsibility. Indeed, American Muslims’ patriotism is proof that Le Pen is wrong. It shows that where expectations are matched to opportunity, nationalism can be inclusive."

Wrong. When Le merde hits the ventilateur, France needs someone who understands what needs to be done about islam. And it is not Facebook color coding..

Conservatives should stop wasting their time giving a damn what NR has to say about anything, foreign or domestic.

Neocons trying to con conservatives into supporting the Bush-Clinton-Soros-Habsburg New World Order?

Send ‘em all to the camps.

Didn’t National Review support that oddball from Utah over Trump?
Did they not consider themselves the intellectual base for the “Never Trump” movement?

Le Pen couldn’t ask for a better endorsement. Another one making all the right enemies.

Islam is not compatible with western democracy and particularly not with our constitutional republic. The proof of this statement is: Saudi Arabia, Syria, Pakistan, Iran, Egypt, Lebanon ... need I continue. Further proof is --- read the Koran, particularly the 'death to the infidel' sections.

Anyone with half a brain understands that Islam and its adherents are evil.

Any person, organization or nation that is anti-Islam - has my blessing!

William F. Buckley Jr.....turns over in his grave.

Does he? Buckley's world was the Cold War world.

He probably would have gone with a candidate he judged most favorable to the US and free enterprise, the candidate who kept the West together against the Soviets.

That wouldn't necessarily be the most nationalistic and protectionist French candidate.

When the Cold War ended, Buckley lost his bearings, as did the magazine.

Muslims cannot be patriotic Americans.

Iranian Muslims/Persian's (They make it very clear they are not arabs), who came here after the over throw of the Shah, are very patriotic and pro-Trump. They understand a government so powerful they can absolutely control your life and want none of it. They left their country to avoid it.

Those who came in later are another story completely. I've yet to meet an Egyptian muslim I can even stomach.
