Le Pen is secular. She openly admits her disdain for religreligion and LGBT values.

Marine or Brigette? I wonder about the cop vote. Cops have to fake allegiance to the machine, but if most LEOs convince 25 of their friends and family to vote LePen... if you weren’t particularly political but a LEO cousin or aunt or neighbor begged you to vote LePen with warnings about jihadis, that’s a demo that might not be polled or analyzed much.

Nope. Still Trump!

It’ll only be a shock if you believe the POLLS! Other wise it just seems to be due.

IMO electing Trump was the only thing that made La Pen even thinkable.
If Hillary Clinton had made it, La Pen would have been throttled months ago.
Hillary’s people may have done the throttling. Past history makes that fairly clear.

Le Pen doesn’t want France taking orders from the leader of Germany.

I have walked through a few American military cemeteries in France and it’s quite sobering. This was when I was stationed in Germany. From this perspective, I find it galling that Europe did not learn anything from its history and is looking at a new Dark Ages as its future. To see France go this way is disheartening and those who remember those men who liberated them are rapidly shrinking in numbers. Socialism and Islam are rotting Europe and this in turn makes every soldier who is buried the various military cemeteries to have died in vain.

“If Macron wins, the next election will be won by someone named Mohammed.”
I disagree it could just as easily be someone named Abdullah.

We gave them their freedom and liberty back and they took it for granted. It seems they didn't learn the lessons of history. If they elect Macron, they deserve what they get.
My grandfather from the Alsace-Lorraine area, so I feel like I have a stake in this in a roundabout way. I hope the French put their thinking caps on Sunday.

A Le Pen victory means the collapse of the EU, because the EU without France doesnt make any sense, Gerard Araud, Frances ambassador in Washington, said in a conversation with The Washington Post earlier this year. And it means the collapse of the euro and a financial crisis, which will have consequences throughout the world. And don't forget what it will do to Global Warming!

Interesting article on Le Pen:
Marine Le Pen's 'Brutal' Upbringing Shaped Her Worldview Like Trump, she Fights!
From the article: "When asked who she was and what she stood for in a recent debate, Le Pen said, "I'm a French woman, a mother and a candidate for the presidency. For me this election is about a choice of civilizations. Our country is overrun by insecurity, economic and social disorder and Islamist terrorism. Our values and identity are under threat."
She's also a cat person. : )
