A socialist France is all the more reason to unseat Obama.

France has been socialist forever. This is not news. The Zero has to go, but this is not a change in France’s political landscape.

He probably told him, “I can spend more money than you can! Nyah, nyah!”

The white race, that conquered of the world, that developed science and math, that took us to the moon and that split the atom, will now succumb to the disease of socialism and the world will revert to mud huts and short, brutish lives.

Farewell to the fair.

Well, since France is bankrupt too, I doubt Hollande can to anything to pull his emaciated arse out of the fire.

BTW, based on the S&P futures tonight, Ms. Market does not like this. Tomorrow may be an interesting day on Wall Street!

I read this comment:

“Guess Euro elites will never learn. France will have to go down the tubes to learn the simple lesson that whatever you tax, you diminish. Humanity has countless lessons, but the impulse for power trumps experience and memory. You will elect another Socialist with predictable results.”

I would add one word. The impulse for power trumps experience and memory AND logic. I pray all the time we are never so stupid in America, but the left has spent years dumbing down American education, making us forget our roots and founding principles.

Learn from the Welsh. Do what you must to preserve your language, culture and customs. Success in spite of oppression is the best revenge.

Obama high-fived Hollande and thanked him for that great sauce he invented.
