Socialist Francois Hollande has been elected as France's new president, early estimates say.

He got about 52% of votes in Sunday's run-off, according to projections based on partial results, against 48% for centre-right incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy.

Mr Hollande would be the first French socialist president since 1995.

Wait a minute... Color me confused. France was not socialist before? Or too capitalist? So these embiciles decided to go a foot more in? Madness. Sheer madness.

Well the first two are working together Imo...jocking for power positions is the name of the game on the World Stage. .....the World Order will indeed occur....how and when that will be achieved is the story.

China and Russia are still cozy in a love hate relationship....both will come into play in a big way down the road.

Islam will continue it's march no matter...nothings changed except they're using Stealth Jihad rather than bullets....in time the Muslim Brotherhood will curtail most of that while they position themselves, but keep the violent groups on the back burner for later use.

As for America? Well the face of this nation, as others, has changed from being the face I recognize as American. Those coming here aren't interested in assimilating rather changing what's left to reflect their own cultures...regardless of which nation they come from.

Political correctness, and laws established to protect these minorities has all but drowned out any opposition for fear of being arrested, fined or both. America has lost the will to fight Imo. We see this very thing in our election.

So when you say America needs to wake up....it's not America as we have known her to be anymore...’too many’ are perfectly fine with the status quo and willing to take this nation into world dominance...or under International Control....in part because too many of our leaders elected are in favor of this move and want their part in the action.

The French & the Greeks want socialism, they’re finished may they RIP. Maybe the Germans will wise up and bail out of the bail deal out for these socialist/marxist countries.

Germany can only bail out the lender banks for so long. Eventually, that will come to an end too.

Obama-type “stimulus” spending is bad enough in the US, but if fostered on a distorted system like the Eurozone, it is truly disastrous.

This could be the end of the European Union. Germany can’t force fiscal sanity on its own. Time for them to bring back the Deutsche Mark and close their borders to rest of the Euro trash who are going down the fiscal black hole.

Yes the guy with the mustache did just that.

I honestly believe Obama’s simply the mouth piece for Michelle and Jarrett.....who are running the show.
...and frankly Michelle would gladly take the helmn if it weren’t for the fact they long ago put a muzzle on her.

When you look at their first interviews, when he was running, she was constantly taking the questions while Obama sat quietly by...and more than on occassion she was told she coudn’t do that. Thereafter you see her trying hard to keep quiet and be the “wife” of the next President.

But now they are putting her out there as the so called “Tip Of The Spear”.......hummm- mmm I don’t think so.......

The underlying dynamic is the same although as you say to the left.

We American conservatives have little reason to like Sark but there is nothing to celebrate in his defeat. What we would deem “real conservatives” are a small minority of the French right.
