I was born and raised in Europe, lived there for 16 years as European Director for my company. I have nothing but disdain for the inept Europeans who will again experience civil war and revolution in their future. Just because the aristocracy is back and wants to rule it's citizens from the top down.
Yes, I was once an Expatriot also.
However, if we examine this closer, we need to understand the meaning of "EX", since we all know the word Patriot.
If EX means I left the country temporarily to assume my job related duties, that's would describe me. If, on the other hand "EX" is interpreted as disassociating one-self with the Homeland, it may describe this lady's situation. Madam, if your heart belongs to another country, please make a clean break from it, you can't have it both ways?

Too true. I went to college in France (too many years ago) and saw nothing of this attitude out in the provinces where I lived (Anjou). Things have changed. Yes, the French had pretentions when I was there, but they didn't hate us so much that they would be willingly deceived. Things are going to get much worse there, before they get better.

Not to split hairs, but the correct word is "expatriate", not "expatriot." Websters defines it as:
1 : to withdraw (oneself) from residence in or allegiance to one's native country.

I've seen expats from many countries and most were just there for the job. I met very few who hated their own country and were working in other places to get away from it. Of course our people in France are probably different. It's my personal opinion that one of the answers to the question " why do they hate us" can be directly tied to their people experiences in dealing with our miserable American hating expats they meet in their own country.
