LIVE THREAD: French Riots

Post your observations here.

Richard Miniter was on FNC and said that even if an employee is caught on videotape stealing from their employers, they cannot be fired.

[OldFriend]

IMO Miniter is way off on this.

There is a world wide core of anarchists that appear to fan the flames of all protests.

Then fly the Mexican flag at your home and school, okay? No harm done, indeed.

"But I think this might be vacation month, in a week or so. So it might work out well for you."

That's good to hear. Thanks.

Why Mo1, as a matter of fact, I believe it is that very same advice!

Just remember, Hillary is Saul Alinsky's disciple.

[BossLady]

My statement should have been clearer.....I was refering to the SIZE of the "protests" not neccessarily the reasoning.... ;)

[onyx]

I do -- I am watching FNC.

[mass55th]

"That's a way to show that you are mature enough to get a job for life."

They've got a future with a demolition company at least.

[OldFriend]

Didnt' realize he is the son of Yannick Noah, tennis great!

Good on him!!

[Petronski]

This is actually pretty lowgrade stuff.


When they start making Molotov cocktails--when the kids start lighting fires--it will be more noteworthy.

[La Enchiladita]

Those French gendarmes are scareeeee..... :)

The fruits of Socialism, and its concomitant, multi-culturalism, unfurling before our eyes.

Paris?

It was "unfurled before our eyes" in the USA's public school system and in the inner cities in the USA years ago, and has worsened since the Great Sweep of 1994, Trent Lott, Republican majorities in Congress, Frist, and Bush.

"Has anybody asked why Tuesdays have been chosen as their protest day?"

To make for a five-day weekend?

[bill1952]

Well, finally some good news. I'm not very endeared to McCain

The Sans Cajones.

Can you imagine if the French would have gotten this upset about Hitler taking over their country. The USA would have never been needed.

France was bled dry during World War I while President Wilson* refused to sell them any armaments, pretending that both sides were morally equal. They hadn't recovered by WWII, nor have they yet. God help them.

[onyx]

Just wait until our "demanding invaders" mirror the French.
Our cops won't be able to respond in French fashion.

[OldFriend]

Think about the sailors on the USS Cole. On deck with NO ammunition in their weapons.

Think again about there being no difference between dems and repubs.

Frank Sinatra / April in Paris

I never knew the charm of Spring,
I never met it face to face,
I never knew my heart could sing,
I never missed a warm embrace.

Till April in Paris, chestnuts in blossom,
Holiday tables under the trees,
April in Paris, this is a feeling
That no one can ever reprise.

I never knew the charm of Spring,
I never met it face to face,
I never new my heart could sing,
I never missed a warm embrace.

Till April in Paris,
Whom can I run to?
What have you done to my heart?

[OldFriend]

There were some muslims rioting in Germany during the fall when the French were having their muslim riots.

The Germans put an immediate stop to such 'protests'. Germany is NOT France.

[bill1952]

Put a picture of Bush on that sign and she looks like any democrat right here.
