#1 Could he hear over the violence?

#2 That wasn't violence, that was the gnashing of teeth and rending of garments at Democrat National Committee HQ...

#3 Socialism - ain't dead yet - but it might want to put in its application at the nursing home.

#4 While I do not envy Sarkosy the tasks that confront him, he has the chance to build a legacy unheard of since De Gaulle. If he can subdue the banlieus and put an end to Muslim led violence, all France should kiss his ass feet.

They're running out of weasel holes to hide in. Before November they said Bush should listen to the generals. Now they won't listen to Petraeus let alone give him a hearing. They've whined about getting the approval of other nations, i.e. France. Now watch as that excuse rant disappears below the surface, too.

What's left? A Munich signed agreement with Syria and Iran for a formal alliance?

#8 Good luck Sarkozy. I don't envy the huge task you have before you in getting France out of the swirling bowl of doom and ruin.

#9 Good luck Nic. Yer gonna need a lot of it. Maybe the U.S. can help you with the task of taking your country back. I'm sure their are plenty of people in the military that would much appreciate an invite to invade France and free it again.

#10 The notion of all the lefties around the world who are having stomach pains this evening is giving me the warm fuzzies, soon to be augmented by several drams of The Good Stuff...

#11 I feel a strange urge to bond intimately with Sarko supporters, thanks, John Frum :-)

#12 Let's see.
To the North, Canada.. Conservative.
To the South, Mexico.. Conservative.
Germany.. Conservative.
France.. Conservative.

Oh my, I'd say that's a "trend".

Place your bets on the UK now.
Congratulations France.

#13 The other day Britain's Conservatives came out ahead against the Labour Party in local elections, get your gun lb. I imagine the sports aren't getting good odds on Labour for the next Parliamentary election, even though apparently they don't have inspirational leaders.

#14 Now, if we can add a conservative U.S. President to that list, we'll be in good shape.

#15 #12, don't forget about CHINA, as MAOISM as originally premised by MAO TSE-TUNG/ZEDHONG is ideo closer to RIGHTIST CONSERVATISM, including "FASCISM" or ULTRA-RIGHT SOCIALISM
=GOVTISM, than to the Leftist forms. Mao went off the track when he + his top clique started listening to STALIN's rants agz the USA-West. Post-USSR, the Lefties includ Commies now recognize the need for national-global MATERIALISM + CONSUMERISM, etc. [by definition CAPITALISM] WHICH THEY NEVER WOULD HAVE ACHIEVED UNDER COLD WAR LEFTIST-COMMIE TOTALITARIANISM. ANGRY LEFT > one major reason for on-going intra-Lefty internal disension is factionalism between traditional anti-Materialists versus those in favor of Materialism.
