The history of Western Civilization is no longer being taught in most of our schools. I’m starting to wonder how much longer civilization itself will last.

Christianity, combined with classical values and philosophy—from Jerusalem, Athens, and Rome—was the underlying force behind this culture. About the only thing I can see that might save it is a Christian revival. But in that regard, Europe is in worse shape than we are.

Still, it has happened before. Let’s hope.

As a very conservative Brit, I can only express my delight that the odious Sarkozy has lost.....

Just like Merkel and pretty much every other Euro leader, he was happy to sell his people and everyone else to the disgusting Euro project.

Britain is going to be the resistance to the socialist disease once we get rid of Cameron.

There goes an anti-Iranian ally. The welfare-funded, antisemitic, muslim vote probably tipped the scales.

I just saw an interesting documentary from Journeyman Pictures on Youtube yesterday. It was about the elections in France and the crime, so bad in some areas the police don’t want to enter. Here is the description:

French election battle enters tense final phase

The beautiful port city of Marseilles was once a symbol of multiculturalism in France. Now plagued by gangs and crime, it has become central to the heated election debates around immigration and security.

Generations of immigrants have helped to shape the character of Marseilles and a third of the population are Muslim. But recently an explosion in violent crime has torn apart this melting pot, exacerbated by the recent killings in Toulouse by Islamist, Mohammed Merah, and Sarkozy’s controversial anti-halal campaign. “An election doesn’t justify being demagogic. It is dividing France, playing people off against each other.” In the midst of an ongoing economic crisis and with the election only a week away, many remain sceptical about France’s unity and the future prospects of its people. “We need real solutions to the problems here”, says Nassurdine Haidari, one of Marseilles’ vice mayors.

I certainly do not forsee the crime and unemployment improving under socialism. It’s taking them down the wrong road. I was hoping Sarkozy would be reelected. I bet Obama, however, is happy to have a new socialist to hang out with.

The people wanted ‘Change’. You can have OUR ‘Change’, France, and shove it where the sun don’t shine.

Well, I guess Sarkozy won’t have to deal with Netanyahu any more (since he found that so distasteful).

A big domino has fallen for the Left. The markets will roil; the Iranian situation will also become more precarious as France moves towards the radical Islamic position.
A weaker and unstable EU should also increase the chance for a US market decline and collapse thereby increasing the likelihood hussein’s defeat. J’espere.

France's economy is likely headed in the same direction as Spain's. One would think that not enough Frenchmen had the common sense to look next door to their neighbor to see the dangers of blatant socialism. Wonder if the Islamic vote was the difference.

France voting in a socialist government... because it's working so well for Spain and Greece, I suppose.
