Supposed to be and actually are are two different things. You can always say that you're liberal but remember the old saying that "actions speak louder than words?" Their actions haven't come close to what they say they believe in.

I am not arguing with you .... and I agree with you...I was just pointing out that France was.....well you know....

That's a myth that this administration (and Fox News) would have you believe.

Did your parents happen to have any intelligent children that lived,or did they call it quits with you?

Why, yes... after they gave you up for adoption (citing your irreversible brain damage)
they've been quite pleased with my sister and myself, thank you!

Well GEE! It is obvious that brain damage runs in the family and why you ride the short bus. Perhaps you would like to go explain, you and your sister to my lawyer and my sister's lawyer and we could finally get the estate settled...

when i was in school the older kids would throw pennies at me all the time, i started catching the pennies, they saw that i was getting rich, so every day they would rob me as soon as i got there, then throw my own money at me all day, it made me sad, but it was worse when they started throwing my school books at me

French toast is smelly and ungrateful. But American Toast is delicious!

Wasn't trying to argue with you, just trying to answer your post.

IMHO it's really bigoted to hate a person beacuse of where they were born. It's just as bigoted as hating someone because of the color of their skin. People jump over a certain poster because of his bigotry towards blacks yet have no problem bashing the French. I ask you - what's the difference? It's all bigotry to me. And I know the people of BN that have French ancestry are offended by these bashing threads.

Well said, Connie
It's ridiculous... and truly indicative of how misinformed and, as a result, polarized
we become as a society. It's tolerated at first because of one's choice of political leaning, conservative or progressive, and then allowed to grow because
we, somehow, have to insult the opposing "team" as a method of gaining, what we think should be, moral superiority.
It usually happens as a replacement for an argument of any substance, and we know who practices it here.
And with certain others here, yes, I know... I do it, too.

Very well said! I have never understood the "French Hating" that started after they decided not to be a part of the war in Iraq. I never understood why people got mad at them for making a decision. Going to war is a huge decision and they did what they felt was right. Just like the USA was doing what they thought was right.

I think the people like Bill O'Reilly (a pervert) and Rush Limbaugh (a pill popper) who tell people what to believe are doing more harm to us than the French ever thought of doing.

Interesting that those two, claiming such moral high ground after the fall of Clinton, turn out to be two of the BIGGEST HYPOCRITICAL BLOWHARDS.
Limbaugh is still not out of the woods with his prescription drug prosecution...
Those two must have idolized Sen. Joe McCarthy when they were growing up.

aeroparrot is right on & no, the French are not 'liberal' in the same context we use that term here in the U.S. (If you've been there for even a day, you would understand) Racism is rampant throughout Europe, but it is particularly bad in certain areas of Germany, France and Spain... especially to displaced Muslims of African or Eastern Mediterranean descent. It's a global issue that no nation has control of. Despite what some European countries attempt to portray, there is nowhere where all ethnicities exist in harmony.

But... how did this thread turn to a Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, Bush administration bashing thread? That's irrelevent to the current problems in Paris and all of France.

Connie said we shouldn't bash the French so we needed another scapegoat.

BTW, Am I still allowed to make fun of the goober tourists in midtown Manhattan? It's almost that time again, I think the Christmas tree lighting ceremony is Nov. 30.
