What do you think of the victory of the National Front in France?

The problem with Madame Le Pen is that she is just as much a product of the French Revolution as the rest of them. They think they can mold the Muslims into good little secular Frenchmen. Madame Le Pen, who joined her family's National Front because of her admiration for General Bonaparte and his Jacobin army, will crush them with two of the Revolution's most destructive ideologies – nationalism and radical secularism – laïcité -- enforced by the powerful French state – she will ban the nun's habit along with the burqa. Such a sad situation – ever since Europe threw off Christianity they have no heritage, nothing to bind them but liberalism and nihlism.

Lol, I love it when religious right-wingers criticize France and Western Europe as though it's this horrible place because religion basically has no purchase there. That region has the highest standards of living, the freest societies, and the most open media on the planet. What are you people bitching about? Not everyone is sucking God's cock enough?

@IvanKaramazov: Generally correct and generally glossed over by the US media, including the alleged "liberal" part.

@IvanKaramazov: Yeah, everything is so cheap over there. And their military is top of the line.

@IvanKaramazov: Just because you would prefer for a common aspect of human culture to not exist doesn't mean it's healthy to ignore and neglect it. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if France's anti-religious laws aren't a major factor in why so many religious extremists there seem to think that they're freedom fighters.
