We will probably see that in this country in a couple of years when Fred Thompson defeats Hillery Clinton.

PARIS:
Following are highlights of conservative Nicolas Sarkozy's first speech after he won the French presidential election on Sunday.
PRIDE
In addressing you tonight, at this moment which as everyone will understand is exceptional in the life of a man, I feel an immense, sincere and deep emotion.
Since my youngest years, I have felt an immense pride to belong to a great, old and beautiful nation. I love France as I would love someone dear to me who has given me everything. Now it is my turn to give back to France what it has given to me.
My thoughts also go to Madame Royal. I want to tell her that I have respect for her and her ideas, in which so many French people have seen their reflection.
To respect Madame Royal is to respect the millions of French people who voted for her. A president of the republic must embrace all the French people.
My thoughts therefore go to all the people who did not vote for me. I say to them that beyond the political combat and differences of opinion, there is only one France for me.
I say to them that I will be the president of all the French people, that I will speak for each one of them...

Rats! He’s a global warming guy: “...United States has the duty to not obstruct the fight against global warming, but on the contrary to take the lead in this struggle because what is at stake is the future of all humanity. France will make this struggle its first struggle.”
France will not abandon women forced to wear the burka.
France will not abandon women who do not have freedom.
France will be on the side of oppressed peoples. It is Frances message, Frances identity, Frances history.
Let the crackdown commence!
Welcome France to the coalition of the willing!
I stopped reading at the “global warming” part. GRRRRR!!!! How can people be so suckered!!
UNITED STATES I want to launch an appeal to our American friends to tell them that they can count on our friendship in the tragedies of history, which we have faced together. I want to tell them that France will always be by their side when they will need her. But I want to tell them as well that friendship is accepting that ones friends can act differently, and that a great nation like the United States has the duty to not obstruct the fight against global warming, but on the contrary to take the lead in this struggle because what is at stake is the future of all humanity. France will make this struggle its first struggle.
Well, looking on the bright side, if global warming is all he has to complain about the States, then that's not too bad, but making this France's "first struggle". Woo, boy!
“I tell great powers, including the U.S., that they are mistaken because they have not signed the Kyoto Protocol and that they are wrong in Iraq. But we have common values, such as democracy,” Sarkozy said.
Is it just me, or is Sarkozy, as well as his counterpart in Spain, both dead-ringers for “Mr. Bean”?
all nit picking aside, I believe we can all agree France is ina much better stance today. imagine if that cutie Royal had been elected. We dodged a close one in ‘04 with Kerry
Ernest, a global warming warning from Sarkozy.
Hey, it isn’t that the dancing bear dances well, it’s that he dances at all...
Look, Chirac hates him and Sarkozy is not Enarc. Sarkozy also campaigned to have a closer relationship with the US. France will still have its views, but that’s a lot better than what we’d been dealing with.
And another thing, over the past forty years, France has invaded Africa, sometimes bidden, sometimes unbidden and has consistently chosen the bad side. This is a moment in which we will hear non-establishment views. And he had 53% of the vote in a run off. That is important.
Your first struggle should be to get off your sorry socialist asses and work a 40 hour week like the rest of the industrialized world.
What do your people get, six weeks vacation when you start a job? Your weak and at this point in time I'm sorry to say we should have left you as the greater part of Germany.
Is there anything I left out?
Oh, I hope this election is an indicator of a country that has decided they won't be such wimps after all.
Doubtful.
We will probably see that in this country in a couple of years when Fred Thompson defeats Hillery Clinton.
Grenouilles avec fierté? Vous devez chier je.
Can we buy French wine again?
Yes! And if you want, you can quit with the "freedom fries."
Watch for some over-the-top tactics from the left as they fight for their political lives. A general strike or series of strategic strikes seems likely.
