More France implosion and liberal self-hate! It cracks me up though, to think we’re easier on the French than they are on themselves. Maybe they’ll wise up and change their ways!

Just kidding, that would never happen.

This isn’t surprising - after all, they have to live with themselves and we can be back on our side of the ocean and ignore them most of the time. It is sort of like what Churchill said once, when a female political opponent pilloried him about being drunk: “I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly.”

As to Germans not disliking the Fwench, why should they? Every few decades they get a government-sponsored trip to France, and when they get there the Fwenchies greet them with lots of white banners, give them food, housing and women, and give them all of their rifles (never fired and only dropped once). What’s not to like?

French said to outpace Americans in French-bashing

Well, heck, if we had the short work-weeks that they have, and their long vacation periods, we'd have more time to bash them more.

“44 percent of French people thought badly of themselves against 38 percent of U.S. respondents who had a negative view of the French.”

We’ve got some catching-up to do.

"44 percent of French people thought badly of themselves"

Thought badly of "themselves", or badly of the French government?

I guess we beat the French-hating out of the Germans years ago.

“Only 14 percent of Germans”

How could the Germans POSSIBLY hate the French?

Anytime they want to kick butt, they can just cross the Rhine and beat up the French. But then other people like Americans, Brits and Russians come along and kick the Germans’ butts.

Seriously, I wish the France of Charlemagne would return. HE would know how to deal with the Muslims there.
He would laugh his silent laugh, grab his sword and....”

“Relations between France and the United States plunged following Paris’s fierce opposition to the U.S.-led war in Iraq.”

They just don’t get it. It wasn’t their “opposition” it was going behind our backs and actively trying to scuttle the effort by all means possible.

Always watch your back around the french. They smile and give you a peck on both cheeks as they drive the stiletto in your lumbar.

The French have a LOT to be ashamed of.
