Nicholas Sarkozy is the conservative (UMP) candidate in the upcoming French Presidential elections to replace Chirac. Sarko is the real thing, as pro-American and pro-capitalism as a French politician dares to be in public. In the article cited here he lays into his socialist rival Segolene Royal (who substitutes charm for brains and caters to the traditional lefty agenda) for defending the young punk who recently started a riot in a French train station when the police tried to arrest him for turnstile jumping.

Would you please explain to me just what the term "speaking truth to power" means? It sounds like a Jesse Jackson made up phrase.

Sarko was raised by his grandfather who told him, "With a name like Sarkozy (Hungarian) you'll never get anywhere in French politics. You should consider emigrating to America."

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.

They are mooligans.

They shout and punch like hooligans,
As they burn a car, or fifty.
Mais oui! They are Les Mooligans.
And way, way short of nifty.
