#1 Give this man a ClueBat and let him at the leaders of the West!
This is the first time I have seen the left described as having the Stockhom syndrom, and I believe it fits.
Good Job.

#2 Took a long time for the implications of the Battle of Tours, 732 AD to catch up with them, didn't it? Talk about being slow learners.

#3 JFM -- I think that the word you wanted was expiate, where you wrote expy. If only we'd stayed longer in Brussels, I would have had a chance to learn French, darn it! Thank you for the translation -- it is very good to know the French mainstream media is allowing such voices to be widely heard.

Alain Marsaud

I thought their Hungarian Interior Minister was the only one with any gonads... I was wrong...

So there is a nativist Frenchman who has gonads against the Islamonutz... Well, with a population of 60,000,000, there had to be...
Law of averages...

#5 France is run by a small elite who attended the ecoles superieur (sp?) It's as if the US were run by Harvard and Yale grads exclusively, not that we aren't close. Average Jean Table Wine has never been as screwed up as his elite leadership.

If guys like this are starting to say these things in public, and getting press, I interpret it to mean that the elite has strayed too far from what Jean Table Wine will accept and that they are now afraid of a Le Pen really taking over. So they are starting to break ranks, especially those on the lower rungs who see this as a way to catapault up the ladder.

Finally, as Kissinger observed, it has the advantage of being the truth. Let's hope France is really waking up and getting a smell of the coffee. Better late than never.
