France: Vulture of the world: Kyle Williams says nation is morally repugnant, no friend of the U.S.
WorldNetDaily.com ^ | Saturday, March 29, 2003 | Kyle Williams

Politicians in the United States have said that President Bush has failed diplomatically and perhaps has made history in his "failure." However, I believe they are wrong. France has outdone itself in failing diplomatically. Along with other nations, America and its people have blasted the spineless, appeasing, socialist nation for their stance in the war on terror.

Still, some suggest a very overblown response to France, in terms of changing French fries to freedom fries, French toast to freedom toast, and hatred toward the nation simply because of their dissent in the war against Iraq. But, it goes so much deeper than that. Opposition toward France is not only because of their dissent, but because of their obstructionism on the world stage.

Dissent is not an issue that would cause a deep divide between these nations – we have disagreed with other countries and it hasn't led to this. France could have respectfully disagreed with the United States, taking a step out of the playing field to the sidelines. Instead, France President Jacques Chirac said, in regard to the follow-up resolution to 1441, "My position is that whatever the circumstances, France will vote no."

They stand beside a United Nations that equalizes the morality of America and Iraq. Their citizens have torched a replica of the Statue of Liberty in Bordeaux and destroyed a plaque honoring victims of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. They said last month that our war against Saddam Hussein is illegitimate, yet they demanded the U.S. have no role in a post-Saddam Iraq and, apparently, they wish to be the lead government in the reconstruction process.

Furthermore, as reported by Sky News, French Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin refused to answer the question, "Who do you want to win the war?" after a speech he gave in London.

In addition, some reports confirm a clear conflict of interest that has helped break relations between the U.S. and France involving the business of Jacques Chirac and Saddam Hussein – business relations that go back 26 years to "his sale of two nuclear reactors to Iraq with enough weapons-grade uranium to build three or four nuclear bombs," an article in the Vancouver Sun reported on Feb. 25. "Chirac also spearheaded a $1.5 billion weapons deal with Saddam which included 60 Mirage F1 fighter planes, surface-to-air missiles and advanced electronics."

Yet, there's more. According to a report on Thursday by Creators Syndicate columnist Benjamin Shapiro, French soldiers were expelled from a U.S. base in Saudi Arabia for espionage: "The French had apparently been caught hacking into the U.S. secret computer system."

I'm not simply systematically chronicling the problems of France as a reason to oppose them – these are just a few instances of the hatred toward America on the part of France. There is a long list of statements and actions by the French people and government that shows they hate our nation. France is about the most liberal, socialist nation on the planet and they make no effort to hide it in their comments and political actions.

Some say the falling-out between our two governments and our people is regrettable. I respectfully disagree. Such a morally repugnant and arrogant nation should be no friend of the United States.

Australian Prime Minister John Howard framed his words perfectly in opining on the current state of France: "When you start to compare [permanent security council members], America is the eagle, China is the tiger, Russia is the bear, and in my view France is the vulture," he said in an interview to ABC Radio. "It circles around and does nothing for itself, waiting for the opportunity to go and pick the benefits of other people's hard work."

In the past, when France had major difficulties, what nation was the first to help? America. In the future, when France has serious problems, who will be the first to help?

France never recovered after the Napoleonic wars. Before Napoleon they were a great nation, a center of science, mathematics, arts, and technology. Since Napoleon, they have been a pack of rootless, backstabbing weasels.

France lost her men, and has been nothing since.

If it's actually the case, as seems likely, that France pressured Turkey into refusing us crossing rights, then France should be treated as an enemy nation henceforth or at least untill every vestige of their present government is gone. The policy of our people and our government should be to see that they starve.

When God created the heavens and earth, he (she?) also created body odor. Guess where that went?

France never recovered from the 18th Century Philisophs, Voltaire to Rousseau and the French Revolution. Napoleon was just one more big fat nail in the cofin of what once was a great culture.

It is broader than just France's stance on Iraq. They have been letting the jihadi run amok cheered on by local antisemites at home. They have been a disappointment all around.

I'm occasionally trudging through Peter Gay's, The Enlightenment, but I'm not quite with you yet on that assertion. Certainly Rousseau was a cause, but there were others whose thinking contributed greatly to our own liberty under the Constitution.

In the chapter titled “Newman and the Antichrist” Father Vincent Miceli S.J. points to the French philisophs as a prime example of a type of modern antichrist. He says that during the French Revolution an atheistic state was established. The State leaders forced a Catholic bishop to come forward and proclaim that there is no God. They closed churches, and orchestrated processions of men clad like priests while singing profane hymns. They established secular festivals to replace religious days. They resurrected the Roman deity to prove that the spirit of the Roman Empire was alive, and raised a statue to Ceres and proclaimed a festival in her honor. The apostates bowed down to the goddess of reason placed on the alter of Notre Dame cathedral in Paris.

In a tract titled “Noyades” from the book “Europe”, Norman Davies writes that in 1974 the French devised ships that could be submerged long enough to drown large numbers of citizens. The Grand Republic had been starving and shooting thousands of religious prisoners, but like the Nazis they needed a real killing machine. The victims were known as the Vendeans – loyalists and religious. The republic propagandists called them ignorant peasants, superstitious, and under the rule of tyrannical priests.

Henry Kissinger writes of a later period of history in his book “Diplomacy.” The chapter entitled “The New Face of Diplomacy: Wilson and the Treaty of Versailles”, recounts the French position that shaped the factors that led to WWII. While Wilson called for a moral order, where harmony in Europe is a natural state. France could not lift its eyes upwards. It demanded to occupy the Rhineland, and to use reparations as a way to keep Germany weak. France saw the League of Nations as a military device that could legalistically invoke other nations against its enemy -Germany.

Now, why is France acting like it is? I think that their lack of trust in God makes them overly fearful and selfish. Therefore, they covet the United Nations as a war machine. And like all atheist, arrogant, liberals they reach for power out of a desperate fear and a false sense of control. The French will use their veto to ensure that the United Nations (as a war machine) will never fall in to the hands of their enemies. And, who do the French see as their enemy – George Bush and the Americans.

Just a thought but I think the French never recovered from the Reign of Terror. The people who remained were the ancestors of the unwashed Chirac and the filthy Villepin.

The filthy Jacobins. That's what I was referring to with the Napoleonic Wars, where many more men, all selected for their fighting ability, died than during the Reign of Terror (my understanding is that the average stature of the French male was over two inches shorter after the Napoleonic wars than it had been).

A tragic parallel to our own time is that the Jacobins thought the world was overpopulated, "unsustainable" if you will. Yup, it's the same people, the same clandestine organizations, the same ideological heritage, and the same religion, and it's happened over and over. See Leviticus 26.

"Hey, Jim, do you know why always have a bucket of week-old bear manure at ever meeting of the UN?"
"No, Bones, why do they?"

"It keeps the flies off the French!"
Bada Bing!

Want a break from war news? Go to Stark Trek for a laugh or two. Then come back refreshed and loaded for bear whether he goes in the woods or not!

The thinking behind the Reign of Terror is the same thinking that led to the Holocaust and the Gulag of Soviet Communism.

In effect, the French were the first experimenters with modern totalitarianism. Add the fact that men like Ho Chi Minh were educated in France, that Communism has been a force in france for more than 100 years, and that the country and culture has been 'statist' for centuries.

These bad ideas infested other countries (Russia, Iraq, China) because those other countries had less developed political systems - or attacked countries that were advanced (Weimar Germany) but weakened by economic crisis. so extremists and violence could catch on elsewhere. it is an irony that a democracy like ours can tolerate Communists like Noam Chomsky. But the pervasive thinking by a people degrades it.

It's a lesson for us too. The rejection of religion and the honoring of the profane has happened in our own Leftist Cultural Revolution since the 60s. the assaults on traditional institutions go on, day by day, by the leftists in academia, under guises of 'multiculturalism' and 'diversity'.
