 France...just when
I thought you couldn't get any dumber, you go and do
something like this.....and totally redeem yourself!
With 53% of the vote this last Sunday, Nicolas Sarkozy -- a
true conservative, at least by French standards -- is the
new President. Buh, bye Jacques Chirac, it's been great...I
really mean that.
After the election, Sarkozy said: "(our) American
friends…can rely on our friendship…France will always be
next to them when they need us." I'm sorry, my hearing aid
must be cutting out; come again? Did you say that you'd
stand with us? I don't want to think selfishly here, but
how am I going to fill four hours of content a day without
you guys actively working against us in the E.U., the U.N.,
the IAEA and every other multi-lettered organization you can
think of?
Sarkozy apparently
admires America so much that he actually wants to steal
Nancy Pelosi's first 100 hours idea. Of course, this is
still France so he's tweaked it to be the first 100 days,
but still, it's a good concept. And, unlike Pelosi, Sarkozy
actually wants to move the country away from Socialism.
He'd like to get rid of the 35 hour work week and make
overtime pay tax-free so that people are encouraged to work
more. He's also said that he'd like to help the poor get
dignity and a paycheck, but they better start planning to
get up early. Wow, helping people to help themselves; what
a novel concept for socialists.
But it's not just his economic policies that are very un-Frenchy-French
like, it's also his view of the world. Sarkozy actually
supports Israel and has denounced the Muslim extremists who
participated in those violent riots back in 2005, calling
them "scum" and saying that the entire area needed to be,
"cleaned out with a power hose." Wow - imagine Jacque
Chirac -- no -- imagine any politician saying that? Yea, me
neither.
The Real Story tonight is that while America continues to
lose its spine and move towards socialism, the people who've
already tried it -- including the French -- are abandoning
it. While we move to the left, the rest of the world is
going the opposite way.
There's John Howard in Australia; Angela Merkel in Germany,
Stephen Harper in Canada, Felipe Calderon in Mexico, and
many others who are moving to the right because America's
success story is undeniable. You can talk about the war in
Iraq all you want, but the truth is that America is still
the envy of the world. How is it that foreign countries get
that when most of our own politicians don't?
Throughout the history of civilization, mankind has shown
how it can enslave, oppress, and brutalize each other.
Although we've made some of the same mistakes, our little
experiment has proven that there's a different way; that man
can not only be free-but they can be prosperous.
Now the rest of the world is finally catching on -- and not
a minute too late. Unfortunately, there's still one glaring
entry missing from the list: Britain. As Tony Blair gets
set to step down, it's obvious that they are in more trouble
than they've ever been before.
According to the Daily Express in London, Islamic courts --
run according to Sharia law -- are now up and running in
major cities across the country and they're issuing binding
rulings on the Muslims who go there, essentially allowing
them to turn their backs on the established legal system.
Wake up with Britain! This is the very definition of a
"slippery slope." It may be weddings and divorces now, but
if you give these courts legitimacy then it'll be traffic
tickets, then misdemeanors and soon, these kangaroo courts
will be sentencing adulterous women to public stonings and
you won't be able to do a thing about it.
France finally seems to have figured it out; they've
realized that the country they love is slipping away and now
they've made a choice to do something about it. Britain:
when will you do the same?
