Got me an e-mail from some French asshole who took offense at the Poem For The French that I posted two weeks ago. It seems every time I do a little French bashing the simpering cowards from France take offense. I guess I hurt their poor widdle feelings and I make the poor widdle babies cry. It must be so hard to live in a country that is long past its glory years and has become irrelevant on the world stage. Let's see what Gilles Bertrand has to say.
Dear Sir,
Nice start.
I am a frenchie as you like to call the French people.
Actually, I like to call them Frogs, or wimps, or pussies, or cheese eating surrender monkeys and I guess I should feel sorry for you that you are French. By the way, have you ever heard of soap?
And I am so deceived while reading the posts on this website and especially the last poetry on French bashing!
Why should you be deceived? I've made it perfectly clear that I do not think too much of the French. We saved your sorry asses from the Germans twice. We used American taxpayer money to rebuild your sorry country. It would be nice to get a little gratitude from you backstabbing assholes.
You are encouraging discrimination against the
French people.
Gilles, you have a firm grasp on the obvious. Congratulations.
This is stupid and makes me angry.
Too fucking bad.
In your country where the right of free expression and opinion is in the constitution, but I guess the French people are not suppose to have the same right as you, especially considering the Iraki war?
Since you're French you do not have the same rights that I do under the United States Constitution, but, you are free to say whatever you want to say about Iraq. I am free to say what I think of your opinion.
Here's what you dickheads cannot seem to get through those thick skulls of yours. Your country actively opposed us in the Iraq War. Had you sat back and done nothing, which I would expect to be normal French behavior, we would have not had any problems with you, but you actively opposed us. That makes you asswipes the enemy.
We are fighting WWIV. This war is your war too although you are too stupid to realize it. You didn't give us any help in the Cold War but at least you stayed out of the way. I wish you would do the same with this war. Wave your white flags of surrender and leave the fighting to the people who have balls. If you want to help, go teach Syria and Iran how to surrender.
Shame on you for picking on the global village idiot like that.
Posted by: Jeremy on February 28, 2005 11:23 PMNot to be a bugger or anything, but actually the first 8 or so amendments don't grant anybody any rights. They simply acknowledge the God given rights of every free man. Including this loser. Hell, I am even fine with him carrying a pistol for self defense. But I am also perfectly fine with an American capping him for "threat to national security" if he acts up in the US.
So to put it simply the only thing that can be done in the SUPPRESSION of rights. Hence the Bill of Rights. Nevermind the suppression abounds everywhere...
But anyway, I am perfectly fine with French bashing. This guy is a nancy boy. I must admit to French blood within my veins.
Risasi out.
Posted by: Risasi on February 28, 2005 11:26 PMDidn't we bail out the French wine industry after most of their vineyards were wipped out by a fire. Most of their grapes have Napa Valley roots. Denny since you actully drink the stuff I figured you might know the answer to this one.
Instead of whack a troll lets play whack a FROG!

Posted by: CharlieDelta on March 1, 2005 03:01 PM"stayed out of the way"??
Don't you remember NoBalls DeGaulle throwing us and the rest of NATO out of France in the mid 1950's? Far from staying out of the way, they reveled in being the heighth of Communism in Urorpe.

I'll give you one more... During the Cold War Charles de Gaulle did everything he could to weaken NATO. In 1986, François Mitterrand denied U.S. warplanes permission to fly over French airspace on the way to Libya--a decision that added six or seven hours of flight time for American pilots retaliating against Tripoli for a Berlin bombing that had killed American servicemen. President Reagan remarked that "France conducted a lot of business with Libya and was typically trying to play both sides."
Read the rest from this EXCELEENT Article from last year, Our Rocky Relationship With France written by Tom McMahon.
Need more French articles where they stab us in the back? I will post them as needed. The French suck.
Far be it from me to defend the French, but to be fair, they did in fact help us out in a couple of incidents during the Cold War. One was by sharing info their agents in Cuba had obtained around the time of the missile crisis in the 60's. The Hichcock film "Topaz" immortalizes some of this at an unclassified level.
In the 80's they shared info on Soviet Technology Espionage they obtained from one of their sources. The source was caught by the Sov's and executed (we think) for his troubles, but the warning alerted us to the Soviet's need for stolen US technology in order to compete, and clamping down on this helped bring on the Reagan-era defeat of the Soviets. Look up the terms "Farewell" and "Soviet Red Book".
Even a shit-bird can be helpful sometimes.
Just saying is all.

Makes me think of a plaque I saw at a restaurant in Massachusetts.
French Rifle for Sale. Never shot, dropped once.

Posted by: Vulgorilla on March 1, 2005 11:07 PMUnfortunately the French left most of their good DNA on the battlefields of World War I, a slaughter from which they've never actually recovered. The Brits were similarly decimated but had a wider DNA pool to choose from in recovering.
I don't have a theory on why the Germans came back up to speed so fast both post WWI and WWII.
Posted by: Jesse on March 2, 2005 06:38 AMThat reminds me, I've actually come across a few American fuckers smugly spouting French phrases. That is SO last century. I told them to learn something useful, like Spanish.
Posted by: annie on March 2, 2005 09:16 PMNice posts. Maybe if you try to connect all your neurones, you can get a good brain.
