This confirms nothing other than in the fevered minds of French leftists and those who either agree with them or are gullible enough to swallow their codswallop.
WHO IS MARION LE PEN aka MARINE LE PEN?
Marine le Pen is the protégé and daughter of Holocoast denier, anti-Semite (as in Jew hater), and an outspoken hater of Israel, Jean-Marie le Pen. His daughter Marion aka Marine le Pen has refused to distance herself from those views. The National Front Party (FN) is anti-American, anti-free enterprise, anti-capitalist, etc
MLP has aligned herself with the anti-American, anti-capitalists and Statists, the closest thing to Fascism we’ve seen. She is far more dangerous than her father ever was, and a much smarter, shrewder politician.
The merger of far right nationalism and the leftist anti-capitalist, (anti-liberale), economic agenda is called Fascism. A term the French are uncomfortable with and are afraid to use when describing MLP & her movement.
MLP is not any kind of Conservative, Far Right, Right, or otherwise . American Conservatism is a political philosophy based upon the God-given rights of the individual as expressed in the Declaration of Independence & the Constitution, and free market Capitalist principles.
MLP is a Statist which is the total opposite of Conservative. MLP believes in the power of the State over individual rights & Liberty, government control & has no problem with the soft tyranny of authoritarian government. In the past, the Communists & many others on the Far Left have voted FN.
The anti-European, anti-globalization message of MLP is shared by many on the Far Left. They might see that as a greater evil than creeping fascism, which they have never had a problem with in the past.
MLP has nothing in common with Ron Paul, who has many conservative values, but is really a Libertarian.
Ron Paul’s issues are mainly economic, fiscal, and the preservation of individual rights against the increasingly invasive, encroaching tyranny of the Federal government.
MLP, Socialists, Communists, Greens & every shade of red, are Statists who believe in the power of the State over the individual rights set forth in our Founding Documents, The US Constitution and The Declaration of Independence.
Tocqueville himself warned against this possibility of what he called “soft tyranny”. Americans listened up. Apparently even the French ignored him warnings.
