Let’s just hope they can consistently control their own streets, and they don’t shortly surrender quietly behind the scenes. But this is an encouraging step.

> The United States never has been so traumatised.

Yes it was, in the Civil War.

We recovered because our immigrants were mostly Europeans at the time seeking opportunity. They loved their new country and became Americans. They and their descendents fought in our wars against our enemies.

France’s immigrants are MoHamHeads.

I can think of no worse people group from which to draw immigrants.

I’ve already answered this in this thread: Deaths in the U.S. Civil war represented 1.9 percent of population. That is less than half that of the French in WWI.

In a related news item, Al Quada hires Germany as consultants on how best to conquer France....

Did steroids do that to Jerry Lewis? I’ve seen the puffy face on a colleague of mine.

I think they’ll be starting there and then moving outward. I bet the native citizenry have fantasized about using the guillotine for some time now.

Al Qaeda commits another warcrime and Amnesty Internation, Code Pink, Red Cross/Red Crescent, and the UN are silent.

If anything, the French are rabid about protecting their culture. The Muzzies have been stomping on it, like they have in other countries and the French are fed up, along with Belgium.

I would like to add that were it not for the Marquis de Lafayette and Admiral de Grasse we would never have won the American Revolution.

It's easy to make fun of the French, but that doesn't mean it's justified.

I try to hold my fire. But there are bitter memories about the embrace of the bailout and sanctioning of illegal immigration that embitters.

The bailout was a mistake, I agree. However, he never "sanctioned" illegal immigration. He supported a version of a measure that had already been kicking around Congress in the late 1990's.

I really wish people on the Right would be honest about this issue. The person who opened the floodgates to illegal immigration was President Ronald Reagan when he both supported and signed the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986.

Not only did that terrible piece of legislation lead the way toward the massive illegal immigration of the 1990's and 2000's, but it began the downward pressure on American wages and employment that is still impacting our standard of living today. It began the trend toward companies obtaining both white and blue collar labor through subcontractors and temporary agencies, otherwise known as outsourcing. The passage of NAFTA a few years later under Bill Clinton opened the floodgates to jobs being outsourced overseas. (Ross Perot was completely right about NAFTA. Too bad he was such a nutcase.)

President Reagan was a great man, who is still beloved by millions of Americans. I love him and cried buckets full of tears when he died. But he was a human being subject to the same human failings as the rest of us. He made mistakes. The two biggest, with the longest and most damaginig impact, were supporting and signing IRACA/86 and turning tail after the Marine barracks bombing in Lebanon. President George W. Bush is the man who, along with the rest of us, got stuck paying the bills for those two mistakes.

...usually discrete about its behind-the-scenes battle against terrorism.

And yet another idiot journalist who doesn't know the difference between discreet and discrete. Moron.

Pretty bad when France has to declare war as the United States placates

Question One: If all out war breaks out in the streets of France and Sarky asks for military aide From the USA will Obama send troops?

Any support would be contingent on taxpayers purchasing industries for a fraction of what they're worth, then distributing shares amongst the muslim gangs whilst forcing France to forgive any debts the new owners would inherit, and to sweeten the deal, include dual citizenship in the US along with voting rights, free tuition, housing and health care, etc.

His work finished, The Citizen Of The World would move on to his next acquisition.

Why didn't Bush beef up the border patrol and back installing more walls and fencing along the border. It's a very simple idea.

Bush and others allowed the problem to grow and it's just unforgivable given the events of 9/11 and what that day should have taught us about the absolute necessity of national security, events that he himself reminded us of continually.

First I thought of the French from Hogan’s Heroes.

Then I thought of the French from the Revolutionary War.

Bienvenues, mes amis!

Good luck to them. Pictured is William the Conqueror who I think was the last Frenchman to win a war on his own. ;p
