The Socialists and MLP offer no solution to the economic and political problems in France. Just more big state solutions and entitlements in a top heavy overly bureaucratic system that is broken & running out if money.

Jesus christ is THE solution and Benjamin Franklin(a free-masson ?) is very far for being God.

Anyway he is not my messiah .
Sarkozy, like Obama, are plain liberal-fascists and are owned by oligarch scums.
As a french i perfectly know the lies of Sarkozy who betrayed the french people.

You probably ignore the meaning of freedom which has nothing to do with liberalism

Sir,

far be it from me to disrespect you or Benjamin Franklin, but I am with fellow Freepers rmlew and Ulysses on this one.

The American political system, which Franklin was reffering to, had evolved from the centuries-old British political traditions of individual freedom. They could only have evolved on an island safe froom direct invasion - as they say, geography matters.

However, the political traditions of mainland Europe are a different kettle of fish. Most of them had to restrict it due to external threats.
My country, for instance, with hardly any natural boundaries, was invaded and looted time and again for centuries, so that granting political freedom to everybody, even if his ideas went against the grain of society, would have been ludicrous, if not downright suicidal (nonetheless, we always had a streak of libertarianism in our political culture, just less than the British :-)). With France, it is similar, IIRC.

President Sarkozy, before he was elected, had promised to solve France’s problems with the EU and especially France’s immigration disaster (sounds familiar? ;-)) and all the other “blessings” which the de-facto rule of our transnationalist friends brings about.

Rmlew is right, in my humble opinion, that any damage MLP could possibly cause in her tenure as President, would be repairable, whereas with Sarkozy and his “tranzi” cronies, there is a strong possibility that there might be no France left...

Out of two evils, I’d rather choose the lesser...
