Bravo for the Orthodox !
What will world alliances look like in twenty five years when the U.S. is aligned with Russia, Eastern Europe and India vs. Western "Dar Aslaam" (formerly Western Europe, now the land of Islam) ?

The question, though, is, as Eastern Europe and Russia improve their economies to First World status, and, as the Third World invasion is beginning, will the Eastern Europeans and Russians watch what is going on in Western Europe and North America, and refuse this "visitation"? Or, will they exhibit the same stupidity and cowardice that we in North America and Western Europe are currently exhibiting? Time will tell.
I am betting on the former. From my admittedly limited knowledge, I understand that self-hatred and political correctness are not prevalent on the Eastern half of the Continent.

In a sense, today, yes, they did. They surrended to the Third Worldization of their homeland.
But no need to pick on the French; we do the same thing here on a daily basis.

Don't want to see any more pity-party articles about Muslims torching synagogues in France. On May Day, 10,000 from a Jewish student organization marched in the streets against Le Pen. The National Front did have members guarding synagogues from arson. I bet they are not so eager to do that now.

Maybe headline should read European Union socialist candidate, Chirac, wins big over French anti-socialist candidate, Le Pen.
Le Pen is out of step with the new world order folks. Nah, being for your own country first is only appropriate for Sharon and Arafat.

A few leftists said they were so displeased with the choice offered that they planned to cast ballots for the conservative Mr. Chirac, who is plagued by corruption scandals, wearing latex gloves or with clothespins on their noses.I presumed French leftists always needed to wear clothespins on their noses!

Every pendulum swings...even ours.

When it starts happening again (and it will), Chirac will greet this Muhammedean aggression with a velvet glove.
Le Pen would have done so with an iron fist.
But we will undoubtedly hear about it ad nauseum, and many of those complaining loudest about it will be those who were at the forefront at the campaign to demonize Le Pen.
I will unreservedly condemn this anti-Semetic Muhammedean aggression (but, I will also condemn other acts of Muhammedean aggression, such as gang-raping French girls, with equal gusto), but at least I can honestly that I did not demonize the man who was willing to confront it.

over ultra-right leader
how many times do i have to hear ULTRA RIGHT the press always seems to forget that chirac is a socialist
To: LarryLied
Another irony: the Left suddenly became very interested in anti-Semitism after Le Pen qualified for the run-off despite pooh-poohing the Mohammedean aggression before; now, watch the liberals lose interest again.
