Typical parochial emotionalism.
It was in America's best interest for Le Pen to get at least 30%.
That would have knocked down the Trotskyites, communists and socialists for a generation. They are the ones always running to international organizations such as the UN and attempting to infringe on our national sovereignty. And they don't operate alone, they get other internationalists to push and push and push with them.
The fewer of those types in power anywhere, the better for America.
But you don't care about that. 600,000 Jews in France were offended by Le Pen. That is more important to you than the interests of over 260,000,000 Americans.
Abe Foxman would be proud.
Btw...Le Pen's real sin in the eyes of Foxman was not his comment about the Holocaust. It was that Le Pen said Jews used communism and race (multiculturalism) to tear down Christianity and France. Only place I saw that reported was by Eric Margolis in the Toronto Sun. Every other article repeated the Holocaust "detail of history" quip he made. Wonder why that was. . .
Remember, France has one of the same problems we do: A liberal news media that overestimates participation in rallies supporting the liberal side. Remember the "Million Moms March?" That was widely reported at highly inflated numbers by our own media.
I haven't studied French politics much lately, so I can't really say whether Le Pen is or is not a Nazi. But France was a great nation... once. Not since Napoleon have the French people had anything to be proud of. Maybe Le Pen couldn't have made a difference. We may never know. France will continue along the road to nowhere, gradually relinquishing its identity and its pride to the European Union.
Can anyone imagine a remake of the old musical, only now titled "An American in the EU?"
Sad.
