"But you can't be a medievalist and not love France. And Paris really is one of the most beautiful cities on earth. With everything to hate about the place, I still love it."
Being part French, I still have feelings for the beauty and history of France, in spite of my being real annoyed at their political stance on so many issues and their rampant socialism. France had a great and glorious past; and perhaps, if they are lucky they can retrieve their future if they wise up. Maybe after Chirac goes. But they better move fast now, as there is not much time left before they are dhimmi's in Eurabia. It's sad to see a once proud and great Empire with its enormous cultural and scientific contributions, come to such an ignoble state of being. Paris is beautiful, the palaces, art, music, its entire great cultural heritage, the lovely coastal parts of France, and the wine country are all exquisite. I loved France when I visited it, but it has sunk so low of late. I hate feeling rotten about the French part of me where once there was great pride. Come on France, heal thyself.
It pains me to think of all the Americans buried there to free such a loathsome population. It wasn't always that way to be sure. If it weren't for the cemetaries and vineyards I wouldn't mind if France slid into the ocean.
