I notice there's not one word about Le Pen.
I shudder to think what would happen in France if the French revolted against their own government. The instability would provide an open door for the muzzies. What an invitation for takeover. It would be just the opportunity they'd be looking for.
He is so lame.
"Leading star of the French Right."
Hahahahaha.
Oh, that was for real. I didn't know there was a French Right.
He's a tax and spend liberal from the sound of things. So is Le Pen, for that matter. As far as I can tell there is no small government party in France. Perhaps the Libertarians should start one there.
...Because Le Pen isn't running for the UMP nomination! If he wants to run, he will do so in his own party. He will, however, be about 80 years old, and if he doesn't consider himself too old to run, others in his own party might.
Incidentally, you do realize that Le Pen is not a U.S.-style conservatibe/European-classical-liberal (In Europe, free marketers are called liberals), don't you? Even Pat Buchanan has said he has made "radical and foolish statements." Although there is a conservative tendency to figure anyone attacked by the U.S.-style-liberal press must be a good guy, Le Pen is definitely more a David-Duke Democrat than a Tom-Tancredo Republican.
And what of Le Pen's younger coleagues in his Party? The liberal media there must find it important to black-out any reference to Le Pen's successors and fellow candidates/advocates.
He wrote a book about the need for faith in a new France. Sounds good, right? Except in the book he basically puts out a bunch of multiculti rubbish about the need to embrace Islam along with other faiths.
Wrong answer.
"He's a tax and spend liberal from the sound of things."
He is an authentic Catholic who wants to slash income taxes, eliminate the minimum work week, reform (i.e., limit) immigration, and oppose the Islamification of Europe.
Let's put it this way... He is a HELL of a lot stronger on protecting his country from the Muslim immivasion than President George W. "Religion of Peace" Bush.
I like your spirit but I believe 'the jury is still out' on Sarkozy. I liked what he was saying during the Muslim rioting. Talk is easy though.
Lol...
The liberal media is the same on both sides of the pond!
Look up "1958", "4th Republic", "5th Republic", "DeGaulle".
I was there a few months ago and let me tell you it's too late to stop a take over of France. They don't count ethnicity, nationality, etc. in the census there but I've heard some pretty high estimates as to the percentage of the non-native population and even those, just based on observation, must be too low.
New French Revolution?????????????
Ah, yes,"the defunct military service." That's the story of western Europe.
Were these the same young people who filled the streets to protest a law intended to reduce unemployment by empowering the employers to fire the incompetent? If so, they aren't the stuff of revolutionaries. They're the stuff of self-righteousness, large talk, expansive rhetoric, and absolutely no substantive action whatever, and the lucky among them will have a sinecure within French academe and government, and the rest will sip coffee and talk darkly of a revolution they don't have the guts to effect. I'll be happy to apologize if they prove me wrong.
>> I like your spirit but I believe 'the jury is still out' on Sarkozy. <<
I would be dangerously proud spiritually if the worst that anyone could say of me was that I was ideologically optimistic. :^)
Des that mean what I think it means?
