* My favorite response to Front National’s electoral victory was Sarkozy’s response that he understands the “exasperation of all those who are afraid that their identity and way of life is being treated with disdain”.
Well, better late than never, Nicolas.
The fact that he doesn’t really intend to do anything about their “exasperation” makes it seem like an echo of your favorite DeGualle quote: “I have heard you.”.
* Divisions loom.
As you mentioned, Marine Le Pen represents the Rust Belt.
The dewy Marion is running in a southeastern region which is arguably the nicest place on earth.
Nice, Cannes, Avignon, Grasse, Marseille, the French Riviera, almost anyplace you’d want to go outside of Paris — that is the area Marion will govern if she wins this weekend.
Oh, and Marine’s region is the poorest in the country, while Marion’s is the third wealthiest.
If the FN wins, intra-party conflict is guaranteed.
* It was much easier to scare people about the dangers of the French far-right when it was lead by a former paratrooper from the wars of French Indochina and Algeria like old man Le Pen than two blonde girls.
* Apparently a female Finnish cop got raped at a refugee center and the Finnish po-leece are covering it up – so crazy.
Speaking of Trump-related issues – isn’t it crazy that all these GOP politicians support pre-emptively bombing the **** out of any country deemed a threat but stopping people immigrating is the sin of all sins.
* Ezra Levant from the Right Wing Canadian website The Rebel, interviewed a lot of French Leftists right after the Paris attacks. There was a French Liberal who told Ezra that Christianity is just as violent as Islam. He used the Mexican drug cartels as an example of Christians who commit senseless barbaric violence.
What an extremely retarded example. Last time I checked power and money is what drives Mexican drug cartels to murder people, not Christianity. Mexican drug cartels do not chop people’s heads off, hang dead bodies on highways and cut off body parts because they believe Jesus Christ and God told them to do it.
Mexican drug cartels are not going around murdering people for being Atheists, pro-gay marriage, and or pro-abortion. What’s next, classify The Hell’s Angels as a Christian gang? Classify the Crips and The Bloods as a Christian gang? Classify MS-13 as a Christian gang? Classify Cosa Nostra as a Christian gang?
