Could this be the beginning of the end of the EU as a socialist power? Could this be the beginning of the end of the EU itself?

It could very well be. Ambrose Evans-Pritchard is IMO, one of the best journalists in the world. He was the only one to REALLY go after Klinton before it was cool.

The prophet Daniel said it all. In Dan.2, he said of the EU, Can Iron be mixed with Miry Clay?
They shall NOT CLEAVE ONE TO ANOTHER (despite any of various attempts to make them do so, that are shown...)

Obviously, European people have witnessed what mass Immigration and left wing politics have done to their nations. Finally, they have realized the error of their ways. Is it too late? Hopefully not for America. Apparently there are many people who do not agree with their left wing leaders. It is astonishing that a party that preaches tolerance shows none towards other points of view i.e. conservative Austrian party mentioned in this article. The same trend has begun in the United States as well.

What is the deal on this French Le Pen?
All I can see is the terms: "hard right, reactionary, extreme right" everything just short of calling him a Nazi.
What is his platform?
To: Timesink
Don't count on it. By the time they're finished with him, people will think that Le Pen personally caused the Holocaust. And Chirac will be nothing more than the Schultz to his Colonel Klink...
To: Timesink
Even Holland, the model of easy-going tolerance, has fallen under the spell of Pim Fortuyn, an anti-Islamic populist who came from nowhere last month to take control of Rotterdam.Pim Fortuyn is no extremist, he's a good man. The same cannot be said for Le Pen... the two are very different.

What is his platform?What is his platform, this time, or what does he really believe? Le Pen pretty much is an anti-Semite. But from what I can tell, he appears to simply dislike Jews on a personal level, while he absolutely DESPISES Muslims, blames them for much of France's current problems, and wants to completely cut off their ability to immigrate into France. For this reason, even some French Jews have supported him in this election, given the constant physical attacks Muslims have been making on Jews lately throughout the country.

I don't see it as a end. Just the political pendulum swinging as it must in a democratic form of government. It is swinging here too.

Here's his party's website, including platform, but it's in French.
To: Timesink
His position on Muslims is generally accurate. They will destroy France within 30 years if something is not done.
To: Timesink
"Le Pen pretty much is an anti-Semite. Lots of people I like and respect keep saying this, so I am inclined to believe it. That said, I haven't yet seen any hard evidence that Le Pen is an anti-Semite. Could you point me in the direction of some literature or links that will confirm it once and for all. If he is actually an anti-Semite, I want to be able to rid myself of all grudging admiration for the man.
To: Buckeroo
