victory in the May 6 run-off would make Mr Hollande, 57, France’s first Socialist leader.

Uh, what about Mitterand?

...France’s first Socialist leader

The writer of this piece is an ignorant dope. How can anyone forget this Pinko loser?

Well somebody here scoffed at me the other day about this, on another subject.

But, if I lived in France I think I’d vote for Lepin, if I lived in the UK I’m pretty darned sure I’d vote for UKIP.

I’m a little tired, a gosh darn good bit tired of seeing white people portrayed as the devil, in our own countries.

That’s what happening in France and the UK. And it is going to happen here soon enough, one could argue it is already happening.

It needs to stop.

So, brand me a racist. As Patti Smith said “I just don’t care.”

Fabulous.

Sarkozy now has a choice: include the FN or lie about it like he did the last time.

If he tries choice 2, Hollande wins, and Sarkozy heads into history. In the meantime, Le Pen will capture even more support.

The French are fighting back against the Muslim invasion. We can all only hope they win.

Looks like President Glenn Quadmire (shown here campaigning for votes at a sleazy French strip joint) is getting his butt kicked by a neo-NAZI who puts a smiley face on fascism and holocaust denial, simply because she's the "only" major candidate who takes the Muslim invasion seriously (Glenn Quadmire will play lip service to the issue, then tour a Mosque and offer to distribute Qur'ans in every French household)

Words fail me. Needless to say, the "fifth French Republic" is so screwed up, they make the choices in our election look good.

I think even putting the Napoleon family back in power would be an improvement over any of their "viable" political parties. Or the descendants of Louie & Marie Antoinette for that matter!

Many of the guys here would vote for her! To quote the story that accompanies the above pic: Sarko and Hollande want to transform the confederation of EU to the federation of USE (United States of Europe), enslaving all Europeans to Brussels and spreading the cancer of socialism. But Marine Le Pen is determined to cut their balls! Venitis Law of Democracy: Every democracy is eventually hijacked by rabblerousers, pullpeddlers, clans of kleptocrats, bumptious bugaboos, busybodies, butterbabies, nabobs of nepotism, cranks of cronyism, pusillanimous pussyfooters, riffraffs of rascals, socialist sophists, and Machiavellian mafiosi. Democracy tends to kleptocracy.

Evidently something is filtering this topic on the web. I find the same 404 response from other news sources.

What is going on?

The Sarko vote plus the LePen vote still clock in at under 50%.

Looks like the Commies get this one.

The U.S. continues to move leftwards, while much of the rest of the world moves rightwards.

As I said earlier, Sarkozy has been kind of a disappointment, only moderately conservative in his actual governing, and doing little or nothing about the Muslim immigrant threat.

Hard to say from those numbers who will win. Sarkozy has Le Pen to the right of him, and Hollande the Socialist has an “extreme leftist” to the left of him. The voters will have to choose between Sarkozy and Hollande.

Even more important than the economy—but related to it—France has to stop letting Muslims flood into their country from their former colonies. Le Pin is the only one who might actually do something about that, but the majority of French voters still refuse to face facts. The left has labeled her father and her Nazis not because of their economic views, but because they say that France should be for the French, and they don’t need all those Muslim Arabs sitting in public housing, eating on public welfare, blocking the streets during prayer time, and burning cars in their spare time.

Sarkozy told Chirac that he ought to do something about that problem, but he hasn’t done much himself, beyond a few token gestures.

Please don’t mistake this as any sort of endorsement of the National Front (several themes of European populism are of serious concern to me) but I do think reading this article is a good idea. It may be a good example of how conservative third-parties, even in a European system, can have the effect of throwing elections to liberals and socialists in the short term.

The French political system is too different from ours for close parallels, but it is clear that the American populism represented by today’s Tea Party and the earlier Reagan Revolution is similar to though not a direct part of a broader Western movement of reaction against liberalism in “mainstream” politics. Our American tradition is very different from that of Europe — and I would say that is a good thing — but grassroots people in both Europe and the United States are realizing that the liberal assumptions which have infected both “conservative” and “liberal” parties are causing major damage and need to be challenged.

The big problem is that returning to the “old ways” in Europe too often means returning to a xenophobic nationalism based on ethnicity and not on ideology. America is a nation of immigrants drawn to an ideal of freedom; that is not necessarily the older heritage for large parts of Europe.
