LOL Well I didn't know that the decision had been infirmed in higher court. Sorry for that mistake. Yet, this doesn't change the real point so much. Racism remains pretty clear in this case: Hortefeux was judged for having said about UMP militant (his own party) from maghrebine origin the following "He does not correspond to the prototype. there must always be one. When there is one, it's ok. It's when there are many of them, that there are problems". and yes I mentioned Marine Le Pen going to some nazi nostalgic ceremony, but didn't use the word nazi as an insult... | ||

Also i'm not calling people nazis because they don't agree with me :D I'm sure you can make the difference between hating rich people and hating a political ideology that tends to favor richs becoming richer and poor becoming poorer. And blame the second ones for being lazy and claim they deserve their fate. If you can't that's a pity. Every FdG voter I have met, and they are a shitload of them around me, make it very clearly. As did Marx, that being said. Now your hatred on "lefties" really does smell resentment, but maybe I'm misinterpreting. And once again, comparing "lefties" and the left to a xenophobic party founded by OAS nostalgic and ex from La Milice, that is one of the most rooted in fascism in all Europe is sickening. There have always been people who were more scared by socialists than by fascists. Nothing new there. "Mieux vaut Hitler que le Front Populaire" was a famous slogan in late 30's. And, although Le Pen is not Hitler, the comparison applies perfectly. She represents the same hatred and the same fears. http://www.cozanne.net/le-bon-sens/944-rappel-la-fondation-du-front-national No reason to compare these people with nazis you are right. They were just working with them. Georges Bidault, le successeur de Jean Moulin à la tête du CNR, ancien Président du Conseil et Ministre des Affaires étrangères du GPRF et de la Quatrième République, ayant rompu avec l'attachement à de Gaulle au moment de la guerre d'Algérie, alors chef du Mouvement pour la justice et la liberté, partira presque immédiatement le 12 octobre 1972 tout en conservant des relations d'amitié avec la plupart des nationalistes ; Pierre Bousquet, secrétaire général du Parti de l'Unité Française et ancien de la division SS Charlemagne. Il partira en 1981 François Brigneau, ancien milicien, condamné pour collaboration avec les nazis, puis à Ordre nouveau, journaliste à Minute et au Crapouillot, cofondateur avec Antoine Blondin et Pierre Boutang de nombreux journaux comme La Dernière lanterne qui deviendra La Fronde et enfin Rivarol, ancien des Comités Tixier1 Dominique Chaboche, ancien de Occident François Duprat, journaliste et ancien de Ordre nouveau, diffuseur du négationnisme, assassiné en 1978. Les auteurs du crime n'ont jamais été retrouvés Roland Gaucher, ancien collaborateur, historien du communisme et romancier engagé dans la dénonciation de la dictature dans les démocraties populaires, journaliste à Minute, Initiative nationale Itinéraires, L'Auto-Journal, avec Barthélemy et Brigneau la personnalité la plus influente et la plus décisive sur le nationalisme recomposé de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle Léon Gaultier, ancien proche collaborateur du Secrétaire général à l'Information du gouvernement du Maréchal Pierre Marion, un des fondateurs de la Milice, il a combattu sous l'uniforme allemand de la Waffen-SS sur le Front de l'Est durant l'été 19442, il a travaillé après sa libération pour l'agence Havas, et a été l'un des cofondateurs avec son ami Jean-Marie Le Pen de la SERP : s'il n'est pas directement un fondateur du parti, il y participera après dans la traversée du désert mais sera progressivement écarté du cercle des amis de Jean-Marie Le Pen au début des années 1980 Roger Holeindre, ancien résistant, ancien de l’OAS, alors président du Parti de l'Unité Française Alain Robert, pour Ordre nouveau et le GUD. | ||

But this whole immigration issue is just a massive paranoia, an irrational fear present in sick frustrated people who want to blame their own shortcomings on people who are different. If people were rational it would be a non issue really. | ||

But this, though, doesn't prevent racist outbursts. Should I remind you that Brice Hortefeux was found guilty of racism. He is not even far right supposedly. He was just a member of the UMP goverment in office at the time... Now you're blaming them of being racist because they do not make racist statements, but you believe there are racist beliefs hidden somewhere behind it all the same ? And what is the link between the fine payed by some random politician and the views of a party he's not even a member of ? That just makes no sense. | ||

This isn't entirely true. (For reference what I'm saying comes from my current understanding as a vet student). Halal and kosher food is not as humane a method of slaughter as current best practice slaughter methods, so speaking personally I would not hope to see more Halal/Kosher food being made than required by the respective religious populations who require it, and would not want to eat Halal/Kosher food myself if I could avoid it - but my perspective is only based off reducing animal suffering during slaughter. | ||

Yes I am just saying that racism is more often suggested than openly claimed. Is that so complicated? | ||

If I say "There are definitly too many jews in France. That's why the country is sinking. They want to invade us with their culture. And they are not real French. They also are the number one reason for insecurity. And they just want to enjoy our social services" ... am I an antisemite? Yes of course. ... replace jews by arabs, and you have exactly what Marine Le Pen is saying. She might be clever enough to stay in legality, it's not even the point. Blaming foreigners, arabs and muslim for all the evil in France is just as racist as it was antisemite in the 30's to rant agaist the jews that were the cause of all problems. | ||

The only difference is that since UMP members started to use the same vocabulary, it's now considered politically correct to be xenophobic apparently. But this whole immigration issue is just a massive paranoia, an irrational fear present in sick frustrated people who want to blame their own shortcomings on people who are different. If people were rational it would be a non issue really. I actually think most of these right wing parties have valid points... The only problem is.. They should actually just say "poor people" instead of immigrants or whatever... That would be true and not solveable with racist bullshit. But well, it's easyer to point at people with funny skin than to realise that something is wrong when even people with 100% jobs barely can make a living and "going into crime" seems like a very viable alternative for MANY of them. | ||

Not entirely true, Jews were driven out of their lands by arabs, while arabs are here out of willingness. We just keep delaying evolution by bringing them into our lands. Stalling our way of life in the form of cheap imported / exported labor. So long as we have this cheap workforce we can maintain the current economy and lifestyle. Is it wrong to wish for some sort of change? | ||

If you work more, then young workers don't get your job; and they get unemployment wages. So the State doesn't pay retirement, but pay unemployment. Plus you make two persons unhappy, the old worker who wants to stop working; and the young worker who has no job. Smart? | ||

Lets look on the bright side , i heard he wants to bring all french troops back from Afghanistan by the end of 2012 so he will probably save some money there.Still i just don't see where he will get the money from for these socialist programs.Whats happening to French government bond yields right now , any big moves? | ||

European left needs to reinvent itself because we have to undo the financialization of the economy and weed out free market dogma that is used as an excuse for all kinds of damaging policies. | ||

Putting the retirement age to 62 was suppose to help against any deficit of the pension fund, but since we have more or less 10% unemployment (and the % is higher in the youngest population) it is not stupid to try to lower unemployment with a low retirement age. Putting the employment rate from 60 to 62 is actually useless if the number of people working (and paying their cotisation to the pension fund) stays the same... | ||

And again more dirty accusations from the lefties who always forgot that Mitterrand was a friend of Bousquet and got a very nice Francisque from Petain himself. Should i mention that many people from the socialist party collaborated ? You seem also to forget that it was the socialist (Mollet) who send the contingent in Algeria and that it is Mitterrand himself (Garde des Sceaux) who signed many death sentences during the war. Oh and Mitterrand was the dirtiest president we ever got. Your ignorance and naivety is amazing. + Show Spoiler + ![]() Sup lefties ! edit: Also read your sources lol. Holeindre is listed as "résistant" uh. | ||
