the French resistance was badly factionalized, spending as much time fighting among themselves as fighting the Nazis, and in many cases were penetrated by German counterintelligence.

I know this is the romanticized view of the French resistance, but they were largely useless.

They had far more propaganda value than anything else.

The hardest sell of all time was Charles DeGaulle trying to convince the French that there actually was a Resistance.

Most French simply did not believe it, and those that did knew how hapless it was.

The best resistance in our society is ridicule. We should make him a constant joke like the left did W.

Yes, I understand that their effectiveness was not substantial, but they put up a resistance. That is the point, and that is what we need to do. We will, of course, do it much better than the French. Our website will not have white flags.

John Galt is going to get very nasty. In more ways than one. Count on it.

The buttons would be nice. We probably also need self defense products.

With the passage of the Fairness Doctrine likely a first item of business for the Obama administration, we like the French Resistance will soon be getting our uncensored news from foreign radio broadcasts.

In the spirit of the thing, I resurrect the following threads:

What good can a handgun do against an Army? Threead IV
http://www.FreeRepublic.com/focus/news/659714/posts

Folks, this one speaks of the Liberator pistol, which was airdropped by the millions into France.

Repost: (+) THE ART OF THE (WEAPONS) CACHE (+)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1735279/posts

What to do BEFORE they come for your guns (or even after, to have a few spares)

Tactics of the Second Amendment Rifleman Part I
http://www.FreeRepublic.com/forum/a382500833d0c.htm

TACTICS OF THE SECOND AMENDMENT RIFLEMAN: PART 2
http://www.FreeRepublic.com/forum/a3826299a0431.htm

Our Reichstag Fire http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/fr/629504/posts

One of the enemy’s first tactics will be to effectively eliminate the 1st Amendment - say goodbye to Rush, Hannity, O’Reilly, Savage, Michael Reagan, and the rest of talk radio. Say goodbye (possibly) to FR and many other Internet sites (at least on domestic servers). Say hello to Big Bro. The worst part of it is that Johnnie Mac was instrumental in designing and passing this thing, and it will be a key instrument of the destruction of the US if the Obamessiah gets control of the government and the naming of judges and Justices.

I URGE PEOPLE TO PRINT OUT (or copy and save to your hard drive) THESE THREADS, AND ALL OTHERS OF ANY INTEREST TO YOU. Who knows how long they will be available via mouseclick.

...and (now that John Hinckley is to be released from prison), "Barry is boffing Jodie."
