This is an astonishing speech by Madame Le Pen of France…..to Angela Merkel and Hollande. (Check out Merkel’s face even before Marine Le Pen starts to talk). Obviously, Le Pen speaks in French, but there is English translation written across the bottom.
I would absolutely love your reaction to her words…please take a few minutes and watch it……I’m very interested in discussing it with you all.

The chief danger that confronts the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost,
Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration,
politics without God, heaven without hell.
William Booth
“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.”
― William Saroyan
The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery. -- Winston Churchill
Ignorance is not an opinion, liberals
I believe in Christianity as I believe the sun has risen; not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. C. S. Lewis
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

The importance of Sovereignty.
I was surprised watching “Spectre” yesterday that a major plot point was the evil of the loss of sovereignty vis a vis National Security.
And I see the plot line echoed in this video.

The French have long had voices like hers. Years ago we saw the defenders of the purity of a guttural language which often resembles gargling frogs get their knickers all in a wad about incursions by such Murkanized English as “le hot dog” and “le coca-cola” and “le hamburger.”
It’s their favorite indoor sport, hortatory and accusatory speechifying. And they love the buzzword, the shocker, the verbal bomb, the barbed epithet, the rapier-like insulte du jour.
But it’s fun to watch, and much of what she says needed to be said. France simply insists upon cashing in on past glory, but more often than not she capitulates when the going gets tough. I think Le Pen is serious, and she believes that, like Orwell said, in times of widespread pusillanimity, throwing the bullshit flag is seen as a revolutionary act . . . and several of the attendees proved that point with their reactions.
Much of what she hurled at them is applicable with only minor editing to the Murkan gubmint. In a forum blindly intent upon rigid maintenance of the status quo regardless of cost in terms of progress and individual liberties, speaking the truth sounds like a gatling gun, and trying to get legislation past Harry Reid is like attacking Normandy with B-B-guns and cap pistols.
Now I’ve upset myself. Time for some multi-grain Cheerios with ripe banana and skim milk.

At one point, Le Pen mentioned that the new immigration policy is “immolating” the nations who are allowing borders open so that the invading hordes can come in — and exacerbate already-existent unemployment problems. These invading hordes will destroy European culture.

Hoooooo Weee!!! That was one hell of a speech. If we had more nationalists like her leading western nations, we would still be riding high.
The underlying issue is the future of the EU. People like Le Pen want to shatter it and throw it on the junkheap of history where it belongs. Ordinary people all over Europe enjoy their own cultures, languages and national identities, and the EU has ironically pushed people in the opposite direction of brotherly solidarity, driving them instead to even reject their nations, so you have whole regions like Catalonia insisting on breaking away from the recently-invented nation of Spain.
This is a turmoil that needs to happen. Europe is due for a grand upheaval. We refer to Europe as ‘liberal,’ but they are also very fundamentally conservative in many respects, moreso than in the US (France’s abortion laws, along with many other European nations) are more restrictive than ours, divorce rates are lower, people save more. Even their Speech Codes can be seen as reactionary.
I hope and pray that people take to the streets en masse and that more leaders like Le Pen stand up and throw this crap back in the faces of the EU overlords.
Europe can do this. Ironically, their ‘liberal’ labor laws with union protections, would protect millions of people from being fired who go on strike to march in the streets against this madness.

Maybe it’s because I lived in France for four years…and loved EVERY SINGLE SECOND, even the bad ones (of which there were very few!)…
I’m less optimistic than some of you that her words will be listened to and appreciated because, remember; SHE IS LE PEN’S DAUGHTER and HE IS DESPISED BY MOST PEOPLE.
HE said this stuff only FAR FAR worse and was disdained by the media for xenophobia, hatred, …about every AWFUL thing you can think of.
Marine is his daughter and I LOVE HER.
I know hearing ‘Subservience to the US” is hard for some to hear but SF responded to AOW’s question beautifully. MANY European countries do feel pushed around a bit by us and don’t like our exceptionalism because it hits them where it hurts so they balk at much of what we do (unless we’re bailing them out of natural disasters, etc.)
She had to add that…and it was perfectly right to.
Merkel, I fear, has LOST HER MIND….she honestly doesn’t look good and the pressure must be showing; her E German roots were something she fought after getting to W Germany, but it appears that the apple hasn’t fallen all that far from the tree, sadly.
OH, I am very rarely (VERY) ‘glad’ my husband is no longer here, but when I think what he’d have thought about what Germany’s doing to herself today, I shudder…REALLY SHUDDER.

From Glenn Reynolds the University of Tennessee law professor better known to the internet as Instapundit, who says that following student tantrums at Yale and Missouri, the voting age should be raised to 25:
In 1971, the United States ratified the 26th Amendment, lowering the voting age from 21 to 18. In retrospect, that may have been a mistake … [The] evidence suggests that, whatever one might say about the 18-year-olds of 1971, the 18-year-olds of today aren’t up to that task. And even the 21-year-olds aren’t looking so good.

The argument back then, as Ed indicated, was that if a soldier is old enough to die for his country, he ought to be old enough to vote. The argument is simplistic at its core. Carrying a rifle into combat is one thing, being intelligent enough, or experienced enough to understand all issues of policy facing a nation as large as ours is quite different. More than this, a human being isn’t neurologically mature until around 24 or 25 years of age. In seeking to lower the voting age, the left attempted to assure their own success as a political party: the communist left excels in convincing the ignorant to vote based on their emotions.

Critics of the gold standard are, IMO, over invested in the politics of “domination”. It has long been the strategy of those in power to periodically leverage their power by debasing the (paper) currency and thereby illicitly adding to their own “share” of power. The gold standard makes it very difficult to debase the currency, as it is physical and can be readily tested for it’s purity by matching it’s weight and volume characteristics. It also has the advantage of being “limitted” in quantity, so people can’t just print up more at every instance. It is a very fair and reliable medium of exchange.

Yes, I know that and understand the reasons. In today’s environment, perhaps we should grant the vote only to men, as they’re the only ones required to register for SS at 18 anyway? Or allow only those men in uniform to vote and drink at 18 then? I think any 18 yo who winds up in combat, carries a deadly weapon, is way more mature than these poop poodles suffering from “micro aggression” freak outs, that have infested our society and those college dorms … any day.
The snowflakes smell blood and they like it. Some will go screaming home to mom and dad, but many will take on a more violent nature and revel in it like the fascist brown shirts that they are underneath all the pleas for civility, inclusiveness, diversity and multi culti BS they have been spreading. Bill Ayers is sitting in his den in his million dollar house in Chicago with a big, sh*t eating grin on his face thinking. “At last. my dream of revolution is realized.” I hope they come for him and Bernadine first.
For that alone…we need to rethink the privileges we’ve bestowed and granted to these immature, violent, future fascists who are completely unworthy of inclusion and incapable of serious thought. Children who graduate from a high school in June…do not magically morph into adults 3 months later when they enter a college class or campus. We’re witnessing undeniable proof of that today.
