Socialism End game.

The idiots get complacent, expect the Government to provide everything, while they themselves sit on their lazy arses, waiting for the next Government check.

Liberals take note, This is NOT what we want in America. You like the idea so much, go have a picnick out in that part in Paris. Then we will talk again.

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

If they have to steal, then that means that their evil employer is not paying them enough. Therefore if they are caught stealing, they must be given a raise so they won't have to do that anymore.

That's kindergarten stuff...

Imagine if there was ANY crackdown in America on illegals, their employers or the states that enable them. There wouldn't be enough meat-wagons to haul off the casualties.

French Students Take to Streets Over New Employment Law

A new law aimed at reducing youth unemployment (currently 23 percent) by making it easier to hire and fire young workers has sparked an outcry of opposition from the intended beneficiaries. As many as 1.5 million people participated in street demonstrations to protest the “First Job Contract” law passed by Parliament.

Jacques Esse, one of the students leading the protest, denounced the law. “They are trying to take away our leisure and force us into boring jobs,” said Esse. “We need money, not excessive demands on our time.”

Esse contends that forcing young people into the workforce will have anti-democratic impacts. “Who will march in the streets to protest bad laws if everyone has jobs?” asked Esse.

Esse demanded that the government save his generation from a life of meaningless toil. “Our time and our minds should be free to create the new ideas needed for a new millennium,” said Esse. Esse proposed that corporations and the rich be taxed to provide stipends for young intellectuals like himself.

Asked what new ideas for a new millennium he has, Esse responded that his proposed stipends for young intellectuals was just the first of many he was sure would be forthcoming if he isn’t bogged down by a dead-end job and has the time to work on them.

Watching the riots in France on Fox.

This is exactly what is going to happen here in the United States when we have a downturn in the economy.

All those bleeding heart politicians who have sold us out on immigration will reap the harvest of dissent of which they sow.

All these people who are here in the USA illegally (doing jobs Americans won't do), will be on the street rioting just like the Muslim immigrants and students of France did a while back, making the 1960's American hippie protests look like a piece of cake.

Fox is saying the hard core protesters are made up of Muslim immigrants.

Speaks well for the religion of piece.

All our politicians are doing is creating astronomical problems for our children to deal with a few years into the future.

I've been watching it for a bit. Seems to me that the police aren't really doing much to defend themselves, or to quench the riot.

Then again, I was in support of the Ohio National Guard in 1970. Maybe I prefer a more harsh response.

One thing's for certain - if a group of punks with bandanas across their faces started throwing rocks at me, I'd be throwing lead back at them.

This is a great visual of what socialism brings. Now will the Republicans be smart and strong enough to bring that up and brand the dems with this stuff?

Since McCain thinks we ought to be influenced by street 'protests' do you think he's calling Chirac now and telling him to cave to the rioters?

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?

While the French loafers are rioting the Muzzie are prowling throough the mobs picking out easy "marks" and beating them senseless. It reminds me of a pack of wolves culling the herd.

My observation? I think parts of this proposed law they are "protesting" are needed in France, but the application just to younger workers is obscene. Why should older workers receive extra protection? France has high unemployment partly because the law makes it difficult to get rid of employees, thus providing a disincentive to hire. The older generation is the one that put those rules in place, and now they are looking to correct it, but by applying totally different rules to younger generations.

All workers should be covered equally - no age bias should be allowed (either for or against older/younger workers)....

I love Paris in the springtime
I love Chirac's fast free fall
I love a riot as it sizzles
I love Villepin as he fizzles
I love gendarmes every moment
Every moment in the Square
I love gendarmes
Why oh why do I love gendarmes
Because they swoop with flair

Ooo, la la

I feel a song coming on:
Apologies to the Doors, Jose F. and, of course, DFU

C'mon Boss, You just can't fire (Tune: Light My Fire)

You know that this is so unfair,
To think, that I could just be fired.
Tho’ this, I will say to you:
I’m a sorry labor supplier

Come on boss, you just can’t fire
Anyone that you hire
So, I’m not a ball of fire
At work, no real live wire
In fact, I’m a big flat tire
But, it's my job, ‘til I retire!
