Not real up on my French, but I think what you said had something to do about the French helping us fight for our independence. If my interpretation was correct, yes that is true, no we haven't forgotten that either. It's still taught in our history classes. But what seems to have been forgotten by the younger generations in France, is that we fought to help maintain French independence twice in the 20th century. The military cemetaries there as you well know are filled with American soldiers who dies so that France would remain free. I think what angers most Americans most, is tha the younger generation in France is spitting on that memory and the government in Paris doesn't care.

This is it for me. I agree. France disrupting NATO is the straw that did it....that kind of selfishness and lack of concern for the NATO alliance is beyond the pale. Let them suffer under the weight of their Muslim infiltration and stew in their own fancy sauce for a long time to come. As for this house...it is going to be strictly CALIFORNIA WINES and Wisconsin cheese.

We thank the French for their help during our fight for independence.

We also realize that the biggest reason they helped us was to p*ss off their rivals, the English.
