    It's the "I'm Rubber, You're Glue" Law

    However it is misapplied here, as I am not accusing Ben of being racist.

    Why, exactly, are we supposed to care about this?

    Because Muslims are scary, Card. Geez.

    Ah.

    I'm not entirely sure history paints any different of a light of nationalism winning the day over Muslims going about the Meditterean.

    I don't think that's really the deal for them. I'm sure the terrorism and everything obviously has a significant effect, but I think most understand that is isolated to a few lunatics. The French people I know that are more concerned with women being harassed and threatened for not adhering to a Muslim dress code and a lot of other incidents that represent a lack of an attempt to integrate which is apparently pretty commonplace over there.

    That is my understanding as well. Not a bogeyman, a true culture clash especially regarding women.

    I love the fact that May 7th seems to be a terribly bad date for fascists. They are 0 for 2 on the date.

    You don't have to have a reason these days, so long as you disagree with them you can just call them racist.

    There's some truth to that, but I definitely feel as though France, and some other European countries, tend to get a pass on some of their racial issues where people would have no problem calling out the USA.

    Le Pen, and her dad, are unquestionably racist.

    And fascists. Had she won, we'd have a modern day Vichy France except control would have come from Moscow instead of Berlin.

    Evidence that the hacking of Marcon's emails was Russia.

    Is this what you guys on the left pass off as thought? This Russia narrative has gone to the clinically absurd. You should all be treated for a mental disorder.

    Ben's mad. He wants to see Europe splinter.

    While I'd like to see the EU destroyed, it isn't all that high on my list.
