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!
"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.
