Stating facts is “whining”? Are you a liberal? Do you find facts troublesome?

You were attempting to prove France was worse than the US in it’s opinions on the war on terror, when much to my surprise you proved it was about the same. I find nothing about the facts you presented troublesome, unlike you apparently. Are you a liberal who finds facts troublesome?

PS, You were whining about French attitudes on terrorism.

Before anyone expresses the typical moronic glee, we should remember that France has just elected a President and a Chamber of Deputees that is fiercely pro-America and supports the war on terror. In the last election, the United States elected a Congress that is fiercely anti-American and opposes the war on terror.

Ok, then I'll boycott any wine sold by members of Congress, too.

It is not whining to point out that a poster who wrote that the French elected a “fiercely pro-America” government is wrong — by posting results that do not show such “fierceness” on the part of the French.

That’s called making a point with facts. Read the posts that I replied to regarding the supposedly “fiercely pro-America” French. When you disagree with somebody who presents facts, dismissing those facts with ad hominem retorts shows a dearth of support, both factual and intellectual.
