I like "radical Jihadists", but what do I know?
Its a shame that the U.S. is void of conservatives like him.
Ewwww...
Liberals "speak truth to power," Conservatives "speak the truth," got it? ;)
Yeah, I was thinking if they don't want him maybe we'll take him

Cant' wait for the Rosie O'Duncehead analysis.

Check out Sarkozys comments on the private ownership of firearms and you'll find he makes Sarah Brady look positively reasonable.
That being said, he would be a huge improvement over Chirac.

Of course you are right. I was being a bit tongue in cheeck. Still it's pretty direct talk on this subject for a polititian much less a Frenchman.
Sadly there are leading contenders on the American "conservative" side that hate the personal ownership of firearms as much as any leftist.
Regards.
Would you please explain to me just what the term "speaking truth to power" means? It sounds like a Jesse Jackson made up phrase.
It is a term used by Sandalistas on US college campuses which, translated into English, means
"behaving in such a way that you deserve to have the snot beat out of you and then hiding behind your own skirts because you are so unjustly persecuted--and then high-fiving yourself and masturbating yourself into a frenzy over your own moral superiority once you have returned to your own echo-chamber liberal enclave",
or
"bisawtydthtsbooyathbyosbyasupathfyamyiafoyomsoyhrtyoecle"
for short.
Cheers!
Sarkozy is "conservative" only by French standards, not by American standards, and if elected he will be trapped in all the constipations of French dirigiste administration. But at least he lacks the knee-jerk anti-Americanism of most French politicians.
Democrats are always on the side of the perps. They are skilled at making victims out of perps by twisting facts.
There's another guy to the right of him running, Sark's still the favourite, though, even over the Socialist.
The European press is really worried, he's like the Fred Thompson of France.
"Truth to power" = my use of irony, as I'm sure you know, since you're smart enough to read Free Republic.
Seriously though, the French media and political elite skew much further left even than the Beltway. When Sarko speaks out like this, the French left falls into a fit of rage and starts calling him "fascist" (but without the quote marks).
To the poster who criticized Sarkozy for his gun control beliefs: France unfortunately is not blessed with our Constitution (and its amendments). But we'll be better a lot better off with Sarko as President than another idiot socialist. He won't exactly be able to make France into our ally, but at least he can dampen down the active campaign of sabotage against US policy they have been running for the past 40 years or so.
I'll take notice when he calls them "enemies."
Close.
We could use this guy here to deal with our own "hooligans"...Pelosi, Reid, Murtha, Kerry, et al.
I like that!
Guns or no guns, that's short, sweet and direct.
You don't get much of that in Europe, let alone France.
As the recent famous line in France, "Speak beautifully and do nothing" is the standard.
Maybe not anymore. Go Szark!
