"If they are cheese-eating surrender monkeys, what does that make us?"
Worse.
Say what you will, the French ruling class has a sense of national identity and care for its citizens. Most of our Ruling classes are set for globalism and wage depression. It juices up their investment returns in the short run.
That's the core concern. Feelings like "tolerance" and "compassion" for others - not other Americans but foreigners - are dealt to make the injury sound better and induce guilt-ridden submission. Left wing has been successfully coopted, running with delusional anti-Bush memes and pet hates distracting them from the core economic issues such as wages, costs and taxes. Some snarky people on the Right have not been assimilated into the collective, but Bush is trying his best. I don't think pointing out to the Left Media that one of their favorite countries, France, is working to help its people will do any good on immigration, opposite to us. They are too wrapped up into Bush Derangement Syndrome, recently enhanced by the tacit and scary realization they are hand in hand with Bush on this issue.
The Senate's actions in the last few days scare the crap out of me. It is ASTOUNDING they don't realize they will permanently destroy this country with the crap they are slinging. I mean for real and very permanently.

That's a very good way of putting it. Sometimes I wonder what happened to our national identity. Seems to have evaporated by the time Clinton left office.
