He’s lucky they’re French and not Mexican.

I really hope this turns into a full fledged revolt and revolution. It would be apt since the French followed us in their revolution in the 1700s. Maybe the opposite can happen this time. We must stop these horrible leftists like macron from taking over our governments. We stopped one of ours in hillary clinton. However, there are thousands more waiting to take over and the 40 new demo_rat congressman are yet another group of leftists looking to control free people.

France passes law to ban all oil and gas production by 2040


https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/energy/2017/.../france...oil.../966132001/
Dec 19, 2017 - PARIS — France's parliament has approved a law banning all exploration
and production of oil and natural gas by 2040 within the country and its overseas territories.
Under that law that passed a final vote on Tuesday, existing drilling permits will not
be renewed and no new exploration licenses will be granted.

My reply was sarcastic, where I said I’m using the left side of my brain was to imply I’m trying to think like a lefty.

I have sympathy for the common Frenchman whose plight against tyranny is shared with many throughout the Western culture.

To create a tax based on a fantasy shows the arrogance of Macron where he likely thinks the people out there are either too weak minded or too weak spined to resist.

But has it gotten to the point to where the average Frenchman will elevate the struggle past protesting?

Statists mock Christians for their “end times scare tactics.”

Then the statists figured out how effective “end times scare tactics” can be so they settled on turning changes in climate into a scary, scary bogeymen to cow people and induce them to pay more in taxes to fund their dystopian boondoggles.

The elites know there is no “global warming.” They use climate change and couple it with scare tactics to make the little people pay more to have less for the further enrichment of the elites. “Refugee” immigration is also a club they use to keep the people in check. (How can the people battle the elites if a population of strangers that won’t assimilate live among them and prey upon them?)

It’s all a con and the elites are doing everything imaginable to maintain it.

Just been watching OAN and they showed a French woman saying it is the right wing causing all of this !

Socialists cannot ever admit who they really are, or tell the truth.

Really hard to be a socialist, liberal today. They are outraged over anything the media tells them about. They riot and cause violence due to their hate in their hearts, and yet tell each other how they love diversity and co-exist.
They think global warming is a threat but when plans affect them to counter their precious global warming they are against those plans.
They then want big government and more laws, but only if they agree with those new laws.

Conclusion .
They are far whack job , hypocritical , fake outrage lunatics.

Why are the Parisian authorities not being assailed for human rights abuses?

President Emmanuel Macron says his fuel policies are needed to combat global warming.

Combat how, exactly? Taxes do two things: raise revenue and discourage the taxed activity. So unless Macron has some magic program he's funding, it's just social engineering and everybody knows it. And as any good little socialist can tell us, social engineering is something you do to somebody else. Preferably under the auspices of the state and anonymously because sometimes the mice don't like running in your wheel.

What is happening in part is that progressive environmental enthusiasms have foundered on a rock of contradiction: no nukes, no fossil fuels, no coal, no new dams, and natural gas produced by somebody else. All this enforced by a tax structure that prevents everyone from paying for what little is allowed. And a governing elite that jets halfway across the globe to preen in self-congratulation about how environmentally virtuous they are. I can see why the people are reaching for their vests.

Thank God they are not doing this to their Muslim immigrants.

Partner, this has got to be one of the funniest lines on the Freeper Nation.

Actually, Tear gas and pepper spray is a standard crowd control method for misfits that destroy property and creating mayhem all around.

We did not use this on the Anarchists and misfits in Portland, Oregaon, Ferguson, Missouri, St. Louis, Alburquerque, N.M., Baltimore, Maryland etc.

Of course, we had that "America Hating Piece of Work Imposter Obama as our POTUS."

We are pretty sure that the "America Hating Piece of Work Imposter Obama" will go down as the worst POTUS evah!!!

Macron has a 25% approval rating.

Partner, I did not know he had that bad of an approval rating which can only mean one thing is that Macron will not be around after the next election, we hope.

These Mooselimbs are mostly Illegal Aliens that are changing the landscape of so many countries in Europe. we hope this is a good lesson for Europe in that you can not let the Illegal Alien population change the make up and destiny of a any country since Illegal Aliens are mostly an anchor to society.

Actually, the Mooselimbs are not a religion since Mohammad copied and pilfered all the Jewish customs and traditions!!!
