Secondly, what you don't realize is how many people are indignated against lack of fairness in dealing with unemployment ("unemployed are always right", says the PC Bible, because they are victims, and victims always are), in dealing with immigrants (an immigrant is necessarily a sort of asilum seeker, he doesn't need to obey the law, respect the host country or the locals - I speak about respect, not submission, not abandoning one's identity). And so on. This gets a wide range of people indignated and they vote right. The left should be careful about picking its favourite categories and exclude others, or else they will continue to lose nation wide elections.
As to your quotation from Canard Enchaine, there was a documentary on France2 about their hard left leaning, or the absence of it. The conclusion was that yes. Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last! (Martin Luther King)
I only reported a uote by Gaudin. Criticizing the messenger is not an adequate argument. In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes
Yes, you could say I hate him. Because he promotes the fear and hatred of the others, because he made a mockery of the rule of law, because his policies are abominably clientelist (to the point where I think we have to call it corruption) and so on. Certainly not because I had anything against him ex ante.
Sometimes, hatred is the sensible reaction. Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed. Gandhi
This is a symptom of the mind-boggling polarisation of the political life in France.
If Sarkozy calmed things down on his side, the left remains in the same extremist stance. If you claim that someone won by saying "arabs will rape your daughter", this claim is so extremist that blocks all possible dialogue. This attitude can be seen all over the French Left today. Their whole problem is how to gather their forces to FIGHT SARKOZY and to FIGHT THE RIGHT. It's almost like a crusade.
What you don't realize is that people are getting fed up with constant "extremisation", they prefer politicians who deal with issues and speak about France, not about adversaries, not vilifying them. So I repeat: more lost elections are about to come, as long as you guys continue to see the world in Black (the others) and White (Us) and focus on Battles against the Demon. Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last! (Martin Luther King)
Speaking for more reason and against blind faith could actually appear a bit like trolling, I suppose. What can I say, then... sorry to bother you in your comfort zone, I guess. Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last! (Martin Luther King)
