WE can't be bothered with this - we are too busy boycotting French wine and complaining about Canada - after all, they were our friends and they hurt our 'feelings' and that is more important than actually trying to preserve the country.
Yes, didn't people have great fun calling the French names, feeling so very proud and patriotic. If anyone wants an eye-opener, please read this post of mine from one of Allan Wall's recent translations of what's been reported in the Mexican media since the war began. I wish O'Reilly or someone would interview this American who lives and works legally in Mexico. He holds an FM-2 residency and work permit, and serves six weeks a year with the Texas Army National Guard, in a unit composed almost entirely of Americans of Mexican ancestry.
This is outrageous!
