If all we have to go on about Le Pen's ideology is the lying Treason Media then we really know less than nothing.
As far as I know he has been telling the truth about the dangers posed by the followers of Mad Mo.

Here is a little information on the political party he belongs to:

The political platform of the Front National is mainly focused on the control of immigration, the repatriation of illegal immigrants and the priority of French citizens over foreigners for access to jobs and social services: in a standardized pamphlet delivered to all French electors in the 1995 presidential election, Jean-Marie Le Pen proposed the "sending back" of "three million non-Europeans" out of France, by "humane and dignified means". [3] However, in the campaign for the 2002 French presidential election, the stress was more on issues of law and order – one of the recurrent themes of the National Front is tougher law enforcement and higher sentences for crimes, and the reinstatement of the death penalty.

The National Front regularly campaigns against the "establishment", which encompasses the other political parties as well as most journalists. Le Pen lumped all major parties (PC, PS, UDF, RPR) into the "Gang of Four" (an allusion to Communist China's "Cultural Revolution"). According to Front rhetoric, the French right-wing parties are not true right-wing parties, and are almost indistinguishable from the "Socialo-Communist" left; the corrupt "establishment" is betraying France, and it opposes by all means the coming of the Front.

Other main positions include:

greater independence from the European Union and other international organizations; in 2002, withdrawal from the Euro was suggested, but the suggestion was then largely withdrawn;
the establishment of tariffs or other protectionist measures against cheap imports threatening the local agriculture or industry;
a return to more traditional values
in the family area: making abortion more difficult or even illegal; paying parents (mainly mothers) who raise children; refusing gay culture;
in the cultural area: refusing "aberrant" modern art and promoting local traditional culture.
