France Puts On Some Pants
“The U.S. can rely on the friendship of France” - Nicholas Sarkozy in his acceptance speech today.
Well it’s four years too late as far as Iraq goes, but further proof that Socialism and enemy appeasement do not work has come to the fore in France.
What is notable in this election was the frightening display of the self-destructive, cowardly nature of the Leftist mind. The typically nervous little socialist he was running against had the following two things to say in the days before the election: 1. We can’t elect Sarkozy because he doesn’t like domestic Muslim terrorists and so they will riot as a response ( never fight the enemy, always appease ) and 2. Sarkozy’s election will be “like a punishment from God” because of Sarkozy’s “bad character”, ie because he chooses to allow conflict with enemies as an option to appeasement. The job of Leftism is to destroy democratic capitalist societies from within. Therefor it is important to make them militarily weak in order to allow for outside domination by more powerful Leftist countries. Unfortunately for the Left, there is no more Soviet Union, so the only outisde entities that they are setting the West up to be dominated by, are Jihadist.
UPDATE
Does this mean I have to start spelling france with a capital F ?
May 6th, 2007 at 10:44 amViva La France.
May 6th, 2007 at 10:50 amFRANCE GREW SOME BALLS!
All together, ViVa La France!
May 6th, 2007 at 10:50 amPat - do you have any info if soros, carville and dean (sounds like the devil law firm) had any involvement in this election, it sounds like the same old shit we hear here.
Also-
We should all go out and buy a bottle or two of French wine, as a vote of our support, as I had stopped drinking French wine before. Every little act builds.
This is simply great news, the speech he just gave at about 2:40 est was incredible in the viewpoint of his observation that we are involved in a battle for civilization and the importance of the relationship with America.
France may lead the fight in Europe for the first time in quite a long time.
May 6th, 2007 at 10:52 amHah! Could this be a preview of what’s to come in the U.S. 2008 election? One can only hope! Spread the word my friends! The nutroots cannot be allowed to take over this country! Power to the people! Don’t allow Soros to buy power!!!! No Manchurian Candidates!!!!
“This republic will not survive the continued neglect of its people.”
May 6th, 2007 at 11:09 amMaybe France got tired of all those ‘youths’ rioting all over the place? It’s about damn time.
Appeasement does not work, hopefully the French have awakened and smelled the cafe’. Grabbing the popcorn so I can sit and see what transpires over there in the next few weeks, but I hope for the best.
France’s survival is on the line and they must stand up and fight for it if they expect to regain control over their own country.
May 6th, 2007 at 11:22 ami fear that a french conservative is the same thing as a northeast or california republican. please Sarkozy, prove me wrong
May 6th, 2007 at 11:33 amMerci No more Fwance in my diabribes. This is astounding. Maybe when we are totally pushed against the wall we will respond too. Hope it doesn’t come to that.
May 6th, 2007 at 11:45 amBefore everyone gets their hopes up on the French, remember it was France who helped Saddam build his nuclear reactor in the 80’s (thank the good Lord Israel destroyed it or who knows where we would be today…probably radioactive dust).
“France sold some $20 billion worth of weapons to Iraq. France became Iraq’s No. 2 trading partner – second only to Russia.” http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=31552
Not to mention the fuckin’ ingrates didn’t support us in our fight against these islamo-facists…
As Iran’s third leading supplier they can do a hell of a lot more than they are with Iran’s quest for nukes! http://www.diplomatie.gouv.fr/en/country-files_156/iran_301/france-and-iran_2788/economic-relations_3366.html
They have a long way to go and a whole lot to prove before they have this Americans support.
May 6th, 2007 at 12:29 pmAs we’ve all heard throughout our lives….
“Actions speak louder than words” …especially from a french politician……
May 6th, 2007 at 12:32 pmAll I can say is that I hope he’s as good a thing as he’s being played up to be.
May 6th, 2007 at 12:47 pmhave they gone to the barricades yet?
May 6th, 2007 at 2:45 pmIt looks like the violence in france has started.

May 6th, 2007 at 3:28 pmHe will turn out to be no better than the ass hole he replaces.. “He said the US could count on France’s friendship, but urged Washington to take a lead in the fight against climate change” Shows where his head is at.
May 6th, 2007 at 3:50 pmsarkocy in France is definitely anti Iraq War
May 6th, 2007 at 4:09 pmGood Ortega won in Nicaragua….despite Oliver North’s intense efforts to stop the left in Latin Am….now Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Brazil Uraguay & Paraquay ALL have leftist governments …and Cuba
May 6th, 2007 at 4:12 pmStill more left governments on the way!!!
Cut Sarko a little slack, people…Even GW threw some liberal programs on the table so people wd think he’s “compassionate”, hugged Ted Kennedy, Putin, etc…
The Muslims in France are rioting, that’s all I need to know.
May 6th, 2007 at 4:26 pmI will play wait and see—perhaps once again we can buy French wine, perfumes and soaps–or not. I really didn’t miss them. I will ask my kids if they wish to have French fries and French toast–or if they are happy with the Freedom kind. What about Freedom kisses?
One Lung–I was wondering about the barricades myself–I seem to hear the faint strains of the ‘Les Miserables’ soundtrack–”Can you hear the people sing? Singing the songs of angry men……….”
May 6th, 2007 at 4:34 pmHe has a month to quell the riots,
before I led some students on a tour of France.
May 6th, 2007 at 4:41 pmI agree with Jewish Odysseus
“Cut Sarko a little slack, people…Even GW threw some liberal programs on the table so people wd think he’s “compassionate”, hugged Ted Kennedy, Putin, etc…”
Yeah, I’m from Ohio and even Boehner couldn’t help teaming up with Kennedy.
The Muslims in France are rioting, that’s all I need to know.” I AGREE!
He’s no Lafayette, but Viva La France anyway!!! And maybe this bodes well for 2008. I’m buying a bottle of French red, just for the hell of it.
May 6th, 2007 at 5:02 pmFrance elects a conservative with an 85% turnout. So add yet another conservative to recently elected conservative leaders in Mexico, Canada, Germany, Australia (re-elected), Japan, a host of former eastern bloc countries, Afghanistan, Iraq, etc, etc. All support Bush in major policy. That doesn’t speak well to the notion the demedia would have us believe that Bush and his “neocon” Administration are damaging the opinion of the US abroad.
May 6th, 2007 at 5:17 pmI’m starting to see a trend that doesn’t bode well for her thighness in 08′.
I was really pulling for Sarko to win … and am so glad he did.
May 6th, 2007 at 5:38 pmCan you imagine the Socialistic mess if both Royal and Hillary would have won? Yes, I’m putting Hil in the past tense column. Fingers are crossed, people.
Maybe there’s some hope, after all! Congrats to Sarkozy!
May 6th, 2007 at 6:24 pmHe will definitely be better than royale…OMG the french might actually work a 40hr work week. What is wrong with being and environmentalist? Teddy Roosevelt practically invented evironmentalsim. This country could use a litte greening to get back up to par.
May 6th, 2007 at 6:24 pmwow this is the first good news i’ve heard in ages re: france.
perhaps some of the french residing here will actually consider going back in a few years… though i highly doubt.
my biggest hope is that this will mean the Jews will be much more protected from the muslims and other antisemite hate crimes.
think a good thought. still will never forget the french corps like loreal that were nazi sympathizers… & yeah not to mention the french were great friends to sadam & family… remember the trials where they were given witness family info to those who testified against sadam. f’d up!!!
still I hope this conservative trend continues & turns out to be something real
May 6th, 2007 at 9:48 pmdon’t get it wrong, Mr Pat, you didn’t finish his sentence :
now, that won’t change much till our foreign policy is tied with EU
and as far as selling arms to Saddam, The rest of industrialised countries did too : Russia, China, Germany, Zwitzerland, UK… and your white colomb coutry througn anonym societies or falsh names and letter boxes in EU, specially in France ; so easy to put your nice intentions on the others !
May 7th, 2007 at 12:31 am- even if your “friend” has to tell you something you don’t like to hear… (Sarko)
May 7th, 2007 at 12:33 amin france:dont try to get off the hook about saddam: hes maggot food, thats old shit, like the WMD that he shunted to syria.
May 7th, 2007 at 3:11 amThe fact that sarko, as you call him has won the election means nothing until he’s in the seat.Good luck to him. He is breath of fresh air from the country that has 20,000 cars burnt yearly. His defintion of “scum” in right on, I only hope that he is able to put the legislation into being that will get rid on the terrorists on french soil and deport them and their families back to the islamist shitholes they dragged themselves from. I program of deporting the whole families of convicted terrorists, or even criminals who torch cars or anything else will see the brush files cooling quickly,specially if they have dual citizenship.
There should be no dual citizenship. You can only serve one master, you can only live in one society. Assimilate or be deported.\
Hey::: does the US allow dual citizenship: if so why, if not mo criminals, and those in mosques calling for the “death to america, and death to all the joooos” are not US citizens then a cheap airfare to the muslim heartland of saudi arabia, where they will be treated as the bastards they are is in short order. Plus them with some kind a ATF crime, their mosques are full of weapons, see to it, Piss them off quick smart
Denis,
having leftys in south american governments is no surprise to me. with chavez leading the way, the pople will remain dirt poor but with free poor medical care. their economies wont thrive and they will only perpetuate crime and dependency. France, i believe has learned a lesson, holland is next.
France is a great example of how stupid immigration policy and welfare states produce disasters.
What endears sarko to me and many others is that he called the “youth” of france who engage in vandalism and other violent crimes “scum”. it may not be presidential to call it like it is, but it certainly is laudable. people who are tired of trying to understand why such scum do such things, elect leaders like this who voice their own sentiments.
Viva la France a beautiful language and an historical and beautiful country now have a chance to change things for the better They ought to start by deporting new immigrant “youths” who dont abide by the laws. perhaps, 3 strikes and you are out of the country!
venezuela will take them!
May 7th, 2007 at 3:45 amThis shows that if political parties go too far to the left (and even to the far right) the citizens will vote the party out! Senator Hillary better watch what is happening in France. She is flip flopping all over the place and now it seem she is catering to the far left MoveOn.org crowed. This will certainly going to cost her chance to be president! Remember this! The bulk of USA citizens are INDEPENDENT voters. We do not affiliate blindly to any one political party. We vote for whom we think is going to represent us by using common sense leadership. Be warned Democrats! Stop listening to the far, far left crowd or you will LOSE the election!
May 7th, 2007 at 5:56 amSarkozy is good for France, but he has a ton of domestic issues to deal with. The truth is that France is no longer a world power because Chirac successfully castrated his country over the last 10 years. I bet Sarkozy is going to focus on aligning France with the EU and try to fix the massive economic problems in his country. I don’t think we should expect much from France on foreign policy, maybe some cheaper French cheese and wine.
One thing is for certain though, Sarkozy is no friend to radical Islam. Overall, I think it’s a good move for France and Europe. Let’s see if France’s balls will descend.
May 7th, 2007 at 5:59 amHis clearest break with much of French elite opinion came last week when he made a dramatic speech about a “moral crisis” the nation entered in 1968, when the “moral and intellectual relativism” embodied by the 1968 student revolt that helped topple President Charles de Gaulle from power the next year. Today, many philosophers and media commentators routinely pay homage to “the élan of 1968″ and lament that the revolutionary spirit of the time did not succeed in transforming bourgeois French society more than it did.
France also has to battle the children of the immature, self indulged generation that we here like to call hippies.
Mr. Sarkozy took on that ’60s nostalgia. He labelled Ms. Royal and her supporters the descendants of the nihilists of 1968, and even appealed to France’s “silent majority” to repudiate the false lessons of that period. He claimed that too many Royal backers continue to hesitate in reacting against riots by “thugs, troublemakers and fraudsters.” He declared this Sunday’s election would settle the “question of whether the heritage of May ‘68 should be perpetuated or if it should be liquidated once and for all.”

May 7th, 2007 at 6:07 amLet us remember that he called the rioters “Scum” that France needed to wash out. He never apologozed for that statement! Bravo not apologizing for the telling the truth.
The reports I read last night is that a few hundred rioters started in the same place where about 5,000 Royale supporters had gathered. The photos that I saw looked more like a mix of anarchists and muslims.
In Britain the defeat of the Labor Party by the Tories may well be much more of a backlash to the Brits wanting to get control of the muslims than what is going on in the middle east.
May 7th, 2007 at 7:11 amYa this guy is still definitely French. But he will bring the nation a long way to being a more conservative place if all goes well. I think he will do a lot to show France that conservative values create a safer, more prosperous nation. However I don’t expect to see a French Expeditionary Force landing in Iraq any time soon.
May 7th, 2007 at 9:29 amhey everyone, i don’t know to much about Nicholas Sarkozy, exept he is against the war with iraq, and that he wants to go after iran. can anyone elaberate a little about the new prime minister.
May 7th, 2007 at 10:33 amWhile we are waiting to see if he turns out to be pro-freedom or pro-appeasement, entertain yourselves with this:

Still more left governments on the way!!!]
Pick one and MOVE THERE, already! You harp about “choice” … Move to one of your above mentioned “Utopias”, live there a year or so, and then report in on how much “choice” you had in life while there. You Marxist sap. I seem to have missed the MSM reports of Americans washing up on the shores of Cuba or any of the other filthy Commie ghetto countries you so rave about.
BTW, I’m still waiting on your report you were supposed to give as having pretended to be a conservative posting on a liberal/lefty blog and your treatment there, as opposed to your continued muted treatment and our tolerance of your insane rantings here.
May 7th, 2007 at 12:35 pmI think you will find a European conservative is something entirely different from a US conservative, its hard to tell the major socialist and the major conservative party apart here in Norway as well.
May 7th, 2007 at 12:44 pmbaked-beans pois-chiche, come on, and you’ll see what guerilla does to your ass, and spare-me the eternel refrain of surrending in WWII :

They must have used all their balls up in the resistance. If not for the french FOREIGN legion they don’t seem to have much.
May 7th, 2007 at 2:58 pmDenis,
I have met Cubans in NY and they would LAUGH hysterically at the yankee left wingers who would periodically vacation in Cuba and spend money to come and pick sugar cane for free in support of the “revolution”. You and your types are so very very mocked in countries like that. They view you as the biggest clowns. You clearly have no idea how stupid you and your ilk are. You clearly have never been to any of these socialist cess pools so it is easy for you to fetishize them from the safety of your bedroom. Hey, your father never loved you…
You’re a REVOLUTIONARY DENIS!!! A HERO TO THE PEOPLE.
The Cubans who made it out of Fidel’s hell hole laughed at you like a clown-boy-bitch. You have no idea how funny you are. But try selling that socialist crap to anyone who has actually lived under it. Try a Polish bar in Greenpoint Bklyn or maybe a Cuban club in Miami. Like that. Go in and tell them how wonderful the “Revolution” went.
You won’t be laughing.
May 7th, 2007 at 3:22 pmYeah, how cd I forget about that anti-1968 revo speech by Sarko…That is the equivalent of a Democrat denouncing the anti-Wietnam War movement AND the Watergate hearings put together!
To the French Left, the “spirit of ‘68″ is WHO THEY ARE.
May 7th, 2007 at 4:53 pmDenis, please PLEASE PLEASE!! try living in one of the countries you love so well, as it is quite obvious you have no love or respect for America. If we could get the rest of the vermin like you out of here, we would have a much better country. One question, why are so many millions of people trying to get here, and not into those countries you prefer? I notice the counries you listed all have many people trying to get into the US, even with the very slight threat of being deported back to their country of origin. I notice that the nazi’z that escaped Germany at the end of WWII when their defeat was so well sealed, that Venuzuela was one fo the countries of choice, as I believe was Bolivia. I think maybe you are a white supremacist in hiding, that you would much rather have all minorities totally dependent on the government for their medical care, food stamps, etc, so those could then be cut off, and the minorities then left to starve. Admit it, you will not try to pass yourself off on a left wing blog site, because you are a closet homophobic racist sexist white supremacist.
We can all see through you now, the gig is up, you can come out of the closet now….
May 8th, 2007 at 8:05 amNo…I have never been to the working people’s republic of Cuba…..I know some pplee who have visited.
They said Castro cuts sugar cane in the fields each day w/ the working people.
Chavez was elected by majority. Unlike Cuba where there are no elections.
May 8th, 2007 at 3:30 pmDenis; Castro is dead.
May 8th, 2007 at 6:12 pmcastro cuts sugar cane with the working people. yeah right. where did he hear that, on state run television. did he witness this first hand. Talk about photo ops, tell me denis, you arent that gullible are you?
and chavez was elected and when his experiement fails they will bring in another lefty and the country will continue in misery and deprivation. socialism never works because you will never find government people that wont abuse their power, particularly when you rule the media and enforce your politics oneveryone. investors leave the country and your left with government solving problems. Government problem solvers = Oxymoron
