A new book titled “A President Should Not Say That…” has revealed that François Hollande calls Nicolas Sarkozy “a Duracell bunny”, how his ex-partner was obsessed by another ex-partner, and how he believes a Muslim woman could one day be the symbol of France (if she feels free enough to ditch her veil).

The statement has caused a storm in France, mainly because it was taken out of context and was used as an example of how Islam would one day take over French culture — a fear that has long gripped certain sections of the French population, particularly the far right. […]

In reality, Hollande was talking of how a liberated Muslim woman who stops wearing the headscarf or veil could become fully integrated in French culture, albeit at the same time suggesting a veiled French woman was not really a French woman. …

Socialism is socialism, be it thru Hollande or Hussein.

No more. It will take DJT to MAGA, and Geert Wilders to MEGA (make Europe great again)

Hollande is the french white obama .

He tries to follow his heroe .... HE IS A PATHETIC CLOWN but still dangerous .

Why not, indeed? If transgender surgery is becoming an accepted part of nationalized healthcare, why not FGM? At least it will be done under anaesthetic and more sanitary conditions.

Marianne of France, the symbol of Le Revolution is traditionally shown bare-breasted.

But now I guess she’s in a burkha. Vive le revolution!

It used to be assumed that America and the world’s future would be something like Star Trek’s Federation. It seems now more likely that the best that can be hoped for is a Klingon future, with a Cardassian future a real likelihood.

They’d force a clitorectomy and kill her. That image would not last long. Such a pile of sacred bleeding heart stupidity it’s hard to fathom.

How to throw away a country in two easy steps...

1) import muslims
2) completely surrender.

Done.

These are the words of a self-loathing traitor. Hollande is fit only for the gallows or guillotine.
