* Terrorism tally in the West for one week:
1) The murder of 14 Americans in San Bernardino.
2) Muslim man stabs 3 people in London, screaming “This is for Syria!”
3) Jordanian immigrant to the US tries to break into cockpit during a Lufthansa flight.
That ignores all the even deadlier slaughters taking place in the Third World. Quite a week for the religion of peace.
* The problem is that the FN seems to essentially be bounded at something like 30% support. This means the “moderate” Left and Right can keep on barring them from effective power indefinitely and it seems that even as great a shock as the Paris Attacks have made no cardinal difference.
To be sure their support grows stronger in the younger age groups but even in the 18-24 age bracket they are still co-equal with just the combined Leftists to say nothing of “Le métissage obligatoire” Right. And this poll was conducted after the Paris Attacks.
So in short, nothing to celebrate here…
* I’m thinking, where’s the other 69%? In Israel, Ariel Sharon went from being a fringe figure in the 90s, to winning 70% in the 2001 election, once the people had had enough of the second Intifada.
The French should either come to their senses, or vote to expunge the words “Qu’un sang impure abreuve nos sillons” from their national anthem.
* One wonders how popular they would be if they had the wind at their back. What if the media of France promoted the FN as something positive rather than toxic? It’s amazing and unfortunate how powerful the media still is in our nations. They literally still control the debate and get to determine what is and is not acceptable public discourse.
