Maybe we could get all the "Blue Staters" to actually live up to their promise and leave. Then they could have their heaven of a Socialist Paradise and leave the rest of us to keep the US viable and strong.
Of course that would only delay the problem for the Euro's for a about 20 years or so.
Count me among them. Franco was a hero of Western Civilization. Perhaps you have no problem with the commies raping nuns, killing priests, committing mass murder, establishing a presence in Western Europe, and cutting off the Mediterranean Sea,- but I do. The only way to rid Spain of the Reds was to beat them back in bloody street to street fighting. If the wolf was at your door you would beg for Franco to save you.
Wow-please see my post 102. Great minds think alike. I didn't see your post until after I posted.
Steyn is so freaking brilliant!
Thank you for your posts. Franco's mission was to keep Spain Catholic and not allow the "enlightened" liberal/socialist/communist/atheists to get ahold of his country. The Left has never forgiven him and continues to spread lies about him...
There were a lot of very entertaining, high spirited debates about Franco on a series of threads about 2 years ago. You may want to do a search for them-they left a lot of bruises.
If your favorite music includes: wine, women with large breasts, cheese, sunshine, stars, boredom, and existentialism, all in the same song, you might be a Frenchman.
They don't understand that it's a completely different ballgame. These kids don't want jobs, they don't want assimilation into the corrupt French society, they want to rape, pillage, burn, and murder, and they want to cut off French heads as trophies.
I will grant that French arrogance, snobbery, and racism created a situation in which these people were easy prey for Islamic Supremacism (which I call Islamism for short), but that's a done deal, a fait accompl/i>, if you will, and the only thing left for the French is to fight, adapt, or die.
p.s. I think I'm one of the few that uses Islamism as a short version of Islamic Supremacism, since most people prefer Islamofascism. I don't think it's so much a political movement as a racist movement and it reminds me of good old fashioned White Supremacism more than anything else.

I suspect that the longer the move is delayed, the farther to right the actual move will be.
That's very true. Of course, in 1968, it was privileged youth rioting just for the heck of it, because they wanted to smoke more dope, not go to school or not have to pay for it if they did, and not serve in their country's army. It was a sort of nihilistic but non-specific type of rioting where they wanted to raise a little hell but didn't really have a concrete objective. Of course, there were more radical leftists who did have a plan, but most of the 1968 crowd was just in it for the thrills. And it was, as you say, the high-point of their lives, and they think that the Muslim rioters are just the same, out there having some fun.
Thinking that these Islamists are don't have an objective, however, is just plain foolish. Maybe not every single rioter spends time listening to the preachings of some mad mullah, but the ravings of their "religious leaders" are in the ether, so to speak, and the rioters are being motivated by them whether they are conscious of it or not. And we all know what the objective of the mad mullahs is...
Thanks Pokey. Missed this Steyn from earlier in the week.
