French on FrenchNo, it's not the worst porn movie ever, it's rioting in the suburbs of Paris. What could the French possibly have to protest about? After all, French farmers get $900 in government for every cow they own and, since the average farmer in sub-Saharan Africa only makes $400 he can't grow his own food and sell it locally cheaper than they can import it from France. So the French have it pretty good, unless you care about poor people or ethics or hygiene. But hey, that's not what this tirade is about. This tirade is about making fun of anyone who would live in a place called 'Bobigny.' And, in some sense, it's about the fact that the French are worried about their own terrorist breeding grounds. Ya see, when you have abortion on demand, people tend to have less children. The population of Old Europe is aging rapidly and they didn't have any kids, so in order to feed the government machine, the French have to let in anyone at all willing to work and pay taxes. To an extent that 40 years from now France could be gone. Not a bad thing, you think, right? Well, sure, but then we would only have 6 kinds of cheese in the world. Unfortunately for France, the only people willing to move there are Muslims from Africa and points farther east rather famous for blowing things up. So Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy would maybe like to be President some day and he has to have a gimmick, and crime is what he chose. This had led to a few incidents where Muslims protested law enforcement because it involved stopping Muslims from committing crimes. In this case we even got the bonus tear gas fired into a Mosque. Muslims really didn't like that but they don't bother with statistics that show 80% of Mosques are involved in subversion or even terrorism. It's that whole "Dar al-Islam" thing they talk about in the Koran. They feel like they owe it to the world to make everyone Muslim. Thus they give you a choice; infidel to Muslim or living to dead. So Sarkozy is doing something that has been 30 years coming, and the French aren't the most tolerant people in the world anyway. If you'll shut up and drive a taxi and pay taxes, they will allow you. If it looks like you might be planning to overthrow one western country at a time as repayment for their intellectual and ethical largesse in letting you in ... well, bad things can happen. Sarkozy isn't without political enemies willing to make some hay at his expense. Laurent Fabius, a former Socialist prime minister and also a potential presidential candidate in 2007, even managed to take the obligatory French shot at Bush: "We need to act at the same time on prevention, repression, education, housing, jobs ... and not play the cowboy." Looks like you can be the cowboy, or you can be the Indian. Article Here |
