Figures being that little girls are about all that Frenchmen can overpower. Anyone else they immediately surrender.

This may be the only country where she could seek and receive justice.

Along with a disturbingly large minority of FReepers.

Sadly, you are right.

What do you mean “we” white man?

Conservatives reject and repudiate any embarrassing perverts that may turn up from their ranks.

The RATs celebrate and elevate them.

“The gist of his brief: Who is this lowly woman to accuse a great man of such base acts? And how dare America’s courts take her accusations seriously when it’s her word against the great Strauss-Kahn’s? According to Levy, the New York judge should be ashamed because he “pretended to take (DSK) for a subject of justice like any other.” Translation: Do you Americans know who he is?”

The mantra of the Liberals, RINO’s and most politicians that think we are just there to serve them. Noblesse oblige my arse.

What would one expect from a country that persecutes a poor, helpless artiste like Roman Polanski?

(that there’s sarcasm, folks)

"Perhaps even more than her race, her station in society would probably prevent authorities (in France) from taking her accusations against a rich and powerful man seriously."

And for this reason, it's hard to take French opinions seriously.

Jonah Goldberg is indeed brilliant.

The French Left and the American Left are in bed together. Among other consequences of their sleazy immorality and untruth are the doctrines that oral sex is not sex (willingly accepted by children as young as grammar school et al.); sexual assault, rape, the indimidation of witnesses, murder, and purjury are not crimes, at least if committed by Leftists, especially powerful Leftists; Leftists, especially if they are powerful and influential, are free to prey upon and parasitize the lowly; and the U.S.--and apparently France also--are nations of men and not of laws.

This is the sleazy, deceitful, truthless "New Morality" of the Left. It's nothing more than the old immorality given a new label to serve their propaganda.
