When you combine Nationalism with Socialism, you only need to add Aryan and Workers Party and you are fully there...
The alternative is worse.
We are talking about France after all..So, bell curve.
She at least recognizes muslims are a problem.
What did anyone expect that France would suddenly turn into America (post 1986) ?
How is Macron an outsider? He was a member of Hollande’s administration.
What a stupid response...
How can anyone expect much from France?
It’s France!
America was taking a speed train to socialism these last 30 years?
Once America is great again, if some loony leftist/commie/socialist doesn’t kill our President then maybe we have half a chance.
Until then it’s kind of hard to poo poo (other) socialist countries.
Otherwise, you must be for Macron?
Not (post 1986) but pre-1986
MAKE FRANCE GREAT AGAIN.
Just my two cents and I probably overcharged :)
The National Front is very anti-Israel, that has not changed at all and in my opinion, anti-Israel is usually the flip side to the anti-semite coin.
Re your post 16: one step at a time. If she can successfully get France out of the EU, it should be easier to change their economics systems.
Hmmm. Well, what passes for "conservative Republican" in France is to the LEFT of Hillary Clinton in the United States (even Sarkozy was considered the "most conservative" candidate in their party and that dope was "disappointed" in Obama for being as liberal as him on global warming). Given how left-wing their "conservative" parties are, I'd hate to see how their "centrists" will govern.
Europe got a more or less free ride on the wealth of America. This gave countries like France room to be lax.
I think the Muslim problems are serving to show that America can’t fix everything.
With this invasion, Left or Right really doesn’t matter right now.
where can we reliably trace the doctrines of the National Front in France?
I find it hard to believe that Le Pen would want to continue that, not being as she is in the shadow of Donald Trump.
I do not disagree with you at all on this. France has made some very bad decisions over the past 200 years and it has led to this. Le Pen is not the answer. But the French will not even look at the answer because they hate free markets and real liberalism.
Rousseau fathered modern France and has left her an orphan...
The Jerusalem Post is where I go to get info on France believe it or not. They have a real sober view of France in my opinion.
I find it bizarre as well. That being said, the National Front have "moderated" some of their more odious positions since Marine took over the party and fired daddy, but she's also moved leftward and abandoned some of the few decent conservative views they have. National Front has always been far more fascist than conservative.
As for American conservatives giving National Front's vehemently anti-Jewish views a pass, look no further than the worship Hamas fanboy Justin Amash gets from Tea Party groups -- and UNLIKE National Front, which is BOTH anti-Jewish and anti-Muslim, Amash is anti-Jewish but a terrorist sympathizer. I love the irony of these tea party groups claiming Israel is "the most important issue" and giving lectures about how "if you won't stand with Israel, we won't stand with you" while they cheer on scumbags like that.
The sad thing is that anything resembling an actual conservative will be lucky to get 8th or 9th place in the French elections. I gave us hope long ago that France would elect anyone decent.
Yeah, left and right are not the case as is who’s taking Qatar money to expand the Caliphate and who isn’t. The Uniparty is everywhere.
“The answer” is found in God.
Donald Trump rather obviously has his sails up to catch that divine Wind.
What will Le Pen actually do? People were complaining about Donald Trump’s background and found him instead to be a good team coach. Will Le Pen also let herself be moved by that Wind?
If she does, then French nationalism will find a godly side once more, and enmity towards Israel will abate. Israel isn’t telling Jews to move to France at any rate; if anything it’s inviting Jews to move FROM France (and everywhere else).
What did they think of Trump pre-election? Were they all nervous about him?
Well said. We are letting our problems color the solutions in other countries. I am not a nationalist at all, I am a patriot and in my view they are very different. Nationalism in Europe has led to three hundred plus years of misery...
