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.

@Iluvpanties365:

“One of the occupational hazards of being an atheist and secular humanist who hangs around on discussion boards is to encounter a staggering level of historical illiteracy. I like to console myself that many of the people on such boards have come to their atheism via the study of science and so, even if they are quite learned in things like geology and biology, usually have a grasp of history stunted at about high school level. I generally do this because the alternative is to admit that the average person's grasp of history and how history is studied is so utterly feeble as to be totally depressing.” [b]~ Tim O'Neill[/b] in [i]“ The Dark Age Myth: An Atheist Reviews 'God’s Philosophers'”[/i] [c=#BF0000]http://bit.ly/2pXmYtV[/c]

@Greenbare: as clueless about history as you are about politics.
