Which is not an insult but a fact (if he wasn't lieing/making that up) and therefore perfectly legitimate to state?

That is nationalism, not racism. It is more a matter of debating wether there is such a thing as a nation's culture and if so, should it change to adapt to newcomers or should the newcomers adapt to fit in.

I agree M. Le Pen is actively defending that yes France has its culture and yes newcomers should learn to speak french, stop washing and gobble up frogs before they are accepted.

Racist statements are illegal in France, but nationalist views are a classical conservative stance. They can be debated, but I fail to see that they should be outright rejected.


Well to a certain extent, it is precisely because racist statements are illegal that right and far right parties tend to be racist indirectly, instead of doing it openly. 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...

You are wrong (again lol).

Well I didn't even call anyone nazi. I didn't even use the word. But apparently, being honest is too much of requirement for you. Of course, it's a typical rhetoric strategy to exagerate one's claim to make it easier to answer. As for racists, I didn't call everyone racist, I am just saying that the Front National voters in France have voted for racist dicourses, which strongly suggests that they have racist ideas, generally speaking; and in that sense, yes they are racists. At some point you have to face that, instead of hiding behind rhetorics and cheap arguments.

You are constantly lying and i'm the one "hiding behind rhetorics and cheap arguments" ?
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...

I honestly want to kiss France on the cheek.

Were there any Le Pen supporters in this thread? I'm afraid to look.

Most of them aren't really that bad. They are just conservative people who are pissed by the recent scandals, the lies and all the political bs. The sociology of the party is also fairly complex and there are several different tendencies, it is not like 18% of the population are nazi wannabes lol.

Anyway they can't be really worse than all the resentful lefties.

No offense but you are the one who sound resentful.

Nope, i don't hate rich people and i'm not butthurt because Le Pen got 18% and Melenchon only 11.

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

Of course the FN is still a xenophobic party. 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.

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.

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?

It won't but it, theoretically (i'm not for it), would do something against "young" unemployement which is eventually worse than going deeper into debt.

and you tell me how increasing retirement age from 60 to 62 will help? 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?

Hollanda can just follow Stiglitz and/pr Krugman. Yeah, the low retirement ages are a bit silly. But only if there were jobs for them to do in the first place, which there often aren't. And it's the upper class people who retire earliest anyway.

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.

Reducing retirement age from 62 to 60? i mean come on.Socialists have no idea about economics.....


Yeah, I mean what does this Krugman guy know about economics anyway? Surely iPlaY.NettleS knows better.

ok , you tell me how lowering the retirement age from 62 to 60 will help the french deficit?

It's a question of unemployment. 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...

I honestly want to kiss France on the cheek.

Were there any Le Pen supporters in this thread? I'm afraid to look.

Most of them aren't really that bad. They are just conservative people who are pissed by the recent scandals, the lies and all the political bs. The sociology of the party is also fairly complex and there are several different tendencies, it is not like 18% of the population are nazi wannabes lol.

Anyway they can't be really worse than all the resentful lefties.

No offense but you are the one who sound resentful.

Nope, i don't hate rich people and i'm not butthurt because Le Pen got 18% and Melenchon only 11.

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.

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.

Resentment can only be directed toward higher beings duh.

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.
