Just shut up. You are a newbie. Newbie's should really think twice before spouting off your qusai-liberal views here. Got it?

Why is it ridiculous to be repulsed by the idea of sponsoring fascism with our own money? Hey,some of us think there is a moral imperative not to help financially underwrite those regimes which prop up genocidal dictators. Everyone to their own conscience.

Agreed. This anti-french thing is ridiculous.Yes. I can understand maybe the government deciding that the French oil companies won't be able to get any lucrative contracts in Iraq after the war is over--that's just tit-for-tat politics and is to be expected. I have no problem with "low-key" decisions like that being made, and at least it'd be a mature, dignified, and substantial action.
But this shrill, low-class public display against the French has just gone overboard. It embarrasses the American people more than it shames the French.

Sorry, while I respect your views, you'll have to advance stronger arguments...
There is no way I'm gonna fund the French firms that in turn fund the French government. I believe in voting with my wallet. This may be sophomoric to you, but I sleep very well at night.

Post 20 is for you too.

Whatever you think, this anti-French is resonating! The 20 year olds (who are not being brainwashed in liberal colleges) are becoming anti-French.

I guess you didn't see the way the French spray painted the entryway into a military cemetary in France. Had you seen that this would make more sense to you. There was a busload of family members going to the cemetary on a once in a lifetime trip to see the tombstones of their family members when it was discovered. Bright red paint.
