France Recedes into the Darkness

Two decades after the precipitous collapse of the Soviet Union, France opts for socialism -- proving once again that democracy is only one safeguard of human liberty, and not always the best.  Proving also the capacity of French voters to completely ignore a century of catastrophes brought about by socialism in every country in which it has been tried; and, what is far worse, proving how far France has strayed from her Catholic heritage, since she embraces a system diametrically opposed to the Faith.

It is tempting to throw up one's hands and dismiss this as a case of France getting exactly what she deserves, since she brings this unmitigated disaster upon herself.  But socialism always seeks to export itself; the bitter chalice France has mixed for herself will overflow and spill across her borders.

And when Europe again ignites, will the United States have the wherewithal and the moral fiber to step forth to its rescue once again?

  1. And to think at one time she was called the eldest daughter of the Church!
    1789 has a lot to answer for!

    My thanks to the artist - I have read and studied about Jeanne since 1962, and the painting is very close to the way it was.

  2. Bob, it goes without saying that this development in France leaves her riper pickings for enemies from without. Apparently the warnings of recent years, including the Toulouse Massacre, were missed.

  3. Good note. The facts show that the Moslem vote helped the Socialist Hollande to gain power! Thanks Anita!

    I am not willing for one son of America to risk his life or shed his blood for these arrogant and deluded people. They have made their own mess, now let them live with it. Because we know very well from history that whenever we come to their rescue, they eventually turn on us.

    Our ancestors left there for good reason.

    During the Bush years, the anti-war crowd had a slogan, No Blood For Oil. If France ever seems to require our intervention, my slogan will be, No Blood for Cheese!

    I guess that'll depend on whether our own national interests are implicated.
