gotta give credit where credit is due the frogs stood up and did the right thing for whatever reason
Maybe His Excellency should pay them a social visit. That should make them vote against his ideas even more!
I guess just like the French Fleet off of Yorktown, they have their Fleet now sybolically off of Haifa.
The French marched on Paris in the hundreds of thousands against gay marriage.
They give the liberal Hollande a 15% approval rating, don’t know what they think of this particular vote, I imagine he feels a lot of opposition.
They have no respect for Obama, I imagine, don’t know.
Americans tend to hate the French. It always seems to be a result of bigotry or ignorance. I don’t know, what is it?
We can never figure it out.
When we go to France, we go to places we want to see war memorials, shrines, museums, and we stay in good hotels, and eat locally (not mcdonalds like our friends do), we shop at the department stores and, our favorite, Monoprix, and we speak French.
We went to Normandy with a group, our friends drove us in their van. He was looking for, and complaining that there was no McDonalds.
sigh.
We went to a restaurant ON Utah Beach and had the best fish and white wine one could ask for in a pull over and eat something lunch.
Our proprietor there and at the B&B were wonderful and very nice to us.
Normandy is preserved. you could be there 70 years ago, you can imagine it.
On to Carentan, where the Airborne dropped in on DDay.
The churches had their stained glass windows blown out in the bombing, and had been replaced by local artisans with images of paratroopers.
I just don’t get why Americans hate the French.
The “whatever reason” is that France would be in the mushroom-cloud-fallout zone of most anything nuclear that went off in Asia Minor or around the Med. rim. That’s enough to keep the Frogz focused but I always wonder why we don’t hear anything from them with respect to NKorea?
Yes...its the reason that worries me.
