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) ?
Not (post 1986) but pre-1986
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.
The party as founded and directed by Ms LePen’s father was as you say anti-Semitic, etc. She supposedly purged that element from the party. However its France where your choice is usually what’s the least bad.
I think the cheering on this site is more for the anti-EU part of her campaign then anything else. Warts and all a win for her would probably be good for France in particular & Europe in general.
