Even the French say it's a mistake to copy them and make America socialist too
How terrible is the White House’s desire to turn this nation into France, Part Deux if even the French themselves think it’s the worst thing they’ve heard in a while?
Doubleplusterrible, we think.
What happens when an insecure man with self-image and identity problems and only a tenuous connection to American culture and spirit is given the most powerful position in the world?
He does what he’s always done: aspire to be something he is not, and that he doesn’t truly understand, because the thinks the people he believes are cooler and more hip than he is will like him better for it.
Instead, they are laughing in Paris…those that aren’t in tune enough to realize the fall of America will ultimately impact the French as well.

Loved this! I am sending it to all my french friends, along with a plea for them to innite their beloved O and MOO to come and be citizens. After all, they love to provide santuary for all the other criminals in the world. I wonder if they will mind that O will not bother to learn French because he is the ONE and everyone else should bow to him.
Please take him mes amies! Pretty please with fromage on top!
Merde …. she’s so right. Having lived there, I keep wondering why Obama wants to emulate countries like France and Germany. We have a much higher standard living here and less poverty.
Give it a little time;a lower standard of living and a great deal higher poverty are coming soon to a country near you!
Froggies.
Stinkin’ froggies.
They’re called froggies because when Hitler invaded, they hopped away.
Ribbit.
I actually like the French… sort of. I appreciate the French involvement in the American Revolution. I respect French culture, art, cuisine, and wine. I LOVE FRENCH TOAST!
But I don’t love their economic policies, attitude towards business/work, etc. France is a country that is in steep decline, for her people are apparently more interested in taking business executives hostage in some kind of lunacy meant to encourage business to hire more people. The only difference between that attitude and full blown terrorism is that at least they’re not killing anyone. At least not yet. But that will probably come later.
Anyway, great video. I’ll be sending this one out to my email group.
It’s called “entitlement” Eric.
You see, in France, you don’t EARN a job, you are ENTITLED to a job.
And that sort of attitude is growing in the US as well.
Once you think you are owed something for nothing, your economy is bound to implode.
They make delicious crepes–if you can get them off their ass to do it!
I never understood why anybody would care if France liked us or not. Far as I can tell, they hate everybody, especially themselves. F*ck France! Honestly!
Our president despises much of what has made America great up to this point. This is why he wishes to fundamentally transform us into something more cultured, more cosmopolitan, like him and his friends. Please, sir, you embarrass yourself.
To be embarrassed one needs to have a conscience.Sociopaths like the brown clown who have been handed everything on the basis of their skin color their whole life have no concept of what made this country truly great.
Good one, pistol!
Thanks for posting the video….Socialism cannot work here unless you eliminate most Americans because it goes against the American Character….nuff said…
This is where we were, and this is where we are headed. Found this on another site.
Nice piece except I don’t think you can open the link at the end:
If you read any objective book about the United States role in World War II you will see that it was our industrial might that most concerned the Axis. We were the manufacturing giants of the world, and we turned all our production towards defeating the Axis of evil. Our companies manufactured jeeps, tanks, LCVPs, trucks’ planes, and other instruments of war…..heck, I have an old WW2 M1 bayonet that was manufactured by Union Fork and Hoe, a farming tool company. It was our production might, and our ability to turn that production over to the winning of the war that turned the tide. We overwhelmed our enemy by sheer production numbers, a good example being how a second rate tank like the M4 sherman prevailed over far superior German armor, we just swamped the Tigers and Panthers with numbers……It was our industrial might, and belief in our nation and it’s cause that won the day.
Fast forward to 1960, and a new president makes a promise that America will put a man on the moon by the end of the decade. With our technological and industrial superiority, and our belief in America’s ability to meet this challenge…..we did it in less than 9 years…..and we did it 6 times. We were well on the way to the vision realized in the book and movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. It was a vision that had us leading mankind into the heavens, breaking the restraints of this planet and taking the steps to building new worlds. We were leaders, we were explorers, and we were great.
But something happened to us as a people and a nation, something that restrained us and curbed our boldness as leaders and innovators and liberators. We became timid, and wracked with guilt and self accusation, and we grew uneasy about our role as the shining light of the world. We became obsessed with how the rest of the world perceived us, whether they liked us or not, and we became contrite. Couple that with the stifling of our industry by oppressive unions and government restraints, and the engine of democracy that was America began to slow to a crawl. Exploration and innovation and industrial might withered…..it was too expensive, and we needed that money to prop up a growing dependant class who couldn’t or wouldn’t support themselves. After all, we thought, shouldn’t everyone share in the dream of America?….shouldn’t everyone benefit from the sweat and labor of those who take care of themselves, and work hard to support their families?….and shame on you hard working Americans who want to keep your hard earned money to spend on your children’s education and your house payments….don’t you know we need that money to pay the hotel room rates for the displaced ungrateful Katrina welfare spongers?
Our new collective guilt, and the lust of politicians to enslave the dependant class as a voter base guaranteed that our forward progress and role as a world leader would no longer be a priority. The new priority is the expansion of government into every aspect of American life….from how much of our wages we take home, to what kind of light bulbs we use, to taxing us for using plastic bags at the grocery store….to telling corporations who their CEO is and what kind of products they can produce. We can’t innovate or explore without the approval of this or that bureaucracy…..we can’t wage total war on the enemies of freedom loving people lest we offend them or violate their human rights. We can’t lead the world forward anymore, it’s not our place to do so…..it’s too imperialistic.
So rather than offend anyone with our arrogance. We’ll abandon our role as the world leader, we’ll stop climbing the stairway of progress and freedom, we’ll stop extending our hand back to those struggling behind us….and exhorting them to “follow us!!!” We’ll allow ourselves to be drug back down to the cellar by those who are jealous of our freedoms and goodness. The dream of America is considered a quaint and antiquated notion today. We live in a world that doesn’t require a leader anymore, it doesn’t “require” a guarantor of freedom anymore, it is a world that requires a diaper change….being cowed as it has into perpetual navel gazing and hand wringing.
Here’s something to cheer you up and to remind you of how great we once were:
An outstanding site with virtual reality recreations of the Apollo
“We overwhelmed our enemy by sheer production numbers, a good example being how a second rate tank like the M4 sherman prevailed over far superior German armor, we just swamped the Tigers and Panthers with numbers……”
True. We figured on losing three to five Shermans for every Panzer IV, V, or VI knocked out, BUT we were building seven or eight for every one of theirs.
But we didn’t have second-rate equipment in every area. Others built better tanks, battleships, submarines, and artillery guns. But we had THE BEST fighter aircraft, bomber aircraft, transport aircraft, aircraft carriers, trucks, radar, battle rifles, submachine guns, and pistols.
And, of course, we had the best people, especially in leadership.
