Nationalist: I'm quite intolerant against most forms of nationalism that I regard as a concept that crawled out from the darkest corners from the intelectual world of the 19th century.

As for you analysis. I think you portrayed all immigrants as unwilling to anything but strictly economic integration. As I'm no expert of all countries in the world but that's much more complex than that. It usually takes two to tango, so to speak.

As a 'foreigner' living in France, I am starting to get worried.

Even more worrying, Le Pen won the vote in the area where I live.

Well I hope this will make the French left wake up and see that they can't afford the divisions that have plagued their movement for so long. I hope the next socialist candidate for President has a united front behind him (did that make sense to anyone else), and above all, I hope Le Pen doesn't win the election.

A lot of commentators have remarked on the historically high 28% absenteeism rate and what a tragedy it is. Here in the US if the absenteeism rate was only 28% it would be a miracle--it's usually more like 50%. In many state and local elections only about a third of the people show up to vote.

Yes, just about all French politicians aren't too friendly towards the USA, but Le Pen is far worse than Jospin or Chirac.

Complete bullshit. Europeans do many things completely ass backwards from logic. Replace "logical thinking" for "socialist drivel" or "irresponsibilty" or "reaction" and you'll probably be closer to the truth. Don't even get me started on this topic.

It seems that European nationalities are not reproducing enough to replenish their populations. Combine the near universal acceptance of abortion in Europe (an issue that is NOT about women's equality, no matter how you want to twist it), with a general disdain for the importance of the traditional family (possibly from the rejection of religion by many Europeans), plus a large acceptance of "alternative lifestyles", and you get the drastically falling birth rates of Europe. I don't blame people for voting for LePen. He seems to want to bring France back to its sense and get rid of the socialism that has been dragging it down for the past century. I don't care if he's anti-American. He doesn't have to be pro-American. A French President should be Pro-French first and foremost. France before Europe, France before America, as much as I believe that President Bush should be Pro- American, and should do what best benefits America, regardless of what Luxembourg or Syria or Mongolia, or any other country wants us to do. That is why I just chuckle when I see Europeans protesting America in the streets. Here's a news flash: many Americans don't give a damn what others think about us, ESPECIALLY France. We'll be executing criminals, protecting our 2nd amendment laws, protesting abortion, going to church, etc., long after the European countries have Arabic for their official language.

You seriously need to take a few history classes. Yes, all Americans are fascist, an always have been, while European nations have always been ran by peace loving green socialist hippies. Plain stupid. Have you ever heard of people such as Thomas Jefferson. Or have you heard of people such as Napoleon III. Name an American Fascist President, and I'll officially become a Communist, burn my bible, pardon every criminal (because there is no right and wrong, you know) make my pregnant wife get an abortion, and stop thinking for myself. Isn't that what it would take to become an Enlightened European like yourself, paiktis? I hope LePen becomes President of France, just to humble arrogant, self-righteous, leftist clones like yourself.

Incidentally, Le Pen's said that economically, he's on the left.

Well, what is to be done? Ban abortion, put the little lady back between the fist and the stove where she belongs, have religion mandated by state and keep gays so far back in closet they're about to meet Aslan, and by Jebus, we'll surely beat those anti-woman, anti-gay, intolerant religious Moslem fanatics by then? Is this one of those things where you beat the enemy by turning into the enemy?
