As promised, here is an e-mail from Sebastien Beuzit, one of my French fans. In case you are wondering how these people find me, just Google "French bashing". I'm number four on the list.
Without further ado, let's see what Sebastien has to say.
at first, i'm sorry, like all my french fellows, i'm too stupid to speak an appropriate english
Tell you what Sebastien, I'll clean up your punctuation and grammar so my readers can tell exactly what it is you are writing and find out it's not your English that makes you sound stupid.
My dear Denny
Yes?
Please stop jerking off on your history books and start reading them.
Just damn! And I so enjoy getting off on them. My favorites are Will and Ariel Durant's History of Western Civilization, Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, and Winston Churchill's History of the English Speaking Peoples. I always use paper towels so I don't get stains on them. Other people use girlie magazines, I use history books.
By the way, I do read them and I have a much better knowledge of history than Sebastien as we shall soon see.
Your naive and racist vision of history makes me laugh (often) but it also makes me puke.
I must of gotten my naive and racist vision from the above books, all of which I have read. I really didn't know that the Durants, Gibbons, and Churchill were racists. I learn sumpin' new every day.
Let me remind you of a few historical facts.
I await with bated breath. Enlighten me you font of historical knowledge.
In 1940 both French and British armies were defeated by the Germans,
OK. I'm with you so far.
Britain was not invaded because of one thing : the English Channel
That's rather simplistic, Sebastien. There was this little thing called the Battle of Britain. Had the RAF been wiped out by the Luftwaffe, the Germans would have been able to launch an invasion across the English Channel. Do you remember reading the following quote from Churchill? "Never have so many owed so much to so few". Probably not. He was talking about the RAF. Brave men.
the French did surrender in order to avoid total destruction
And then collaborated willingly with the Germans. Does the name Vichy ring a bell?
but the British retreated in panic at Dunkerque
And saved their army to fight another day. Fight, not collaborate.
History is not as simple as your star spangled brain can figure.
I dunno. Seems pretty easy to me. Germany rolled through France like a hot knife through butter. France surrendered. Britain did not.
Now he starts to veer off into an alternate universe.
US did not declare war on Hitler,
True so far.
Hitler did declare war on the US.
Yep! After his ally, Japan bombed Pearl harbor to drag us into the war. After that, it was pretty much a foregone conclusion that we'd be fighting in Europe as well as the Pacific.
America did not come and save Europe (and France) like a white knight.
We didn't. Why did we come, pray tell? Look out! Here it comes!
The D-Day and the invasion of Western Europe took place to stop the Russian flood coming from the east.
Huh? WTF? If we wanted to stop the Russian flood coming from the east, the last thing we would want to do is invade France. Let the Germans and Russians fight it out and then go after the winner. I wonder why we didn't do that if we wanted to stop the Rooskis? Hey! Maybe that would have shortened the Cold War!
Sebastien. Put down your bong! Slowly step away from it. This is your mind on drugs.
Roosevelt knew his next war would be against the USSR,
He did? Is that why during the war, America sent weapons and other supplies to Russia? To equip them for the next war against us?
he did not want to save French, Jews or the Dutch from germans,
I can understand the French part. You guys are a bunch of ungrateful bastards. But the Dutch and the Jews? We wanted to save them.
he only wanted to prepare for a war to come.
So that's why he and Churchill met Uncle Joe at Yalta and they pretty much gave Stalin Eastern Europe and half of Berlin. That's a fine way to fight a war. Give your enemy Eastern Europe. Holy crap! The polio must have fucked up Roosevelt's brain as well!
French bashing is like gay bashing
Nope. To be a gay basher I'd have to be homophobic, which I'm not. To be a French basher, all I have to do is read history. What's more, French bashing is fun and it is so easy to do and it is based on facts. Fortunately, I'm careful when I'm jerking off and I keep my history books unstained. Also, since I'm 60 years old, I can remember the 50's and 60's when your anti-Americanism started, you ungrateful assholes.
I'm sure you like it too),
Nope! I don't like to gay bash. Sorry. I do enjoy French bashing though.
I think that, deep down inside, you would love to be french
Why would I want to be a cheese eating surrender monkey? Plus, I like to bathe on a daily basis and I hate snails.
(maybe one of your ancestors is french,
Actually, if you take my Freeman line far enough back, I am descended from Charlemagne, but I read that 3/4 of Western Europe is descended from him. I do have a Norman ancestor, but the Normans weren't really French. Other than that, my mother's side of the family is 100% German, and my father's side is English with the aforementioned Charlemagne link and the Norman link.
it would be great, you could look for him and shit on his grave)
I'll leave that up to you. I prefer using a toilet.
I have to leave you. I will put on my beret and I'll put my bone through my nose (I'm black too)
Holy crap! And he calls me a racist?
and go out surrendering
Probably to the Moo-slimes who are burning your cars every night.
keep on being so racist, ignorant
I think we have pretty much established here who is the racist and who is ignorant.
and proud to be american
You're goddam right I'm proud to be an American. We're the richest and the most powerful country in the history of this planet. We saved your sorry asses in two world wars and we're the ones who are facing up to the threat of Islamofascism, with no help from you buttheads.
...you're also about to become a stereotype.
Yep! And I accept that. We're the country the world turns to whenever there are problems. Those damn Americans! Yet the world is not too proud to take our money.
And look at the shit we have invented. Did you know this internet thing was invented in America (by Algore)? Nuclear power which provides a large portion of your electricity in France was an American invention.
So go live in your fantasy land Froggy, where France is still a world power. Go surrender to the Moo-slimes. But next time you ask us for help, guess whom you'll call? Remember, you can count on the French to always be there when they need us.
Thanks for playing.

It is a scientific fact that if one eats to many snails the slime migrates up the sinus passage and then into the brain. The main symptoms of this are, distorted reality, stuck up behavior, body odor, excessive hair growth (mainly on women) and strong dislike of superior groups (namely parents and/or Americans).
This guy is obviously mentally disabled and to be PC we should not make fun of the mentally disabled.
Denny.......
I suppose I should have known that we had to be cousins courtesy of our mutual ancestor Charlemange. as you correctly noted some 75% of Western Europe is somehow related to him, probably a similar percentage of the United States.
I would guess we are on the order of being 170th cousin`s or so,but Geneology does produce some convoluted relatives. Remenber Bush & Kerry are also related from back 5 or 6 generations,hopefully they do not trace their lineage back to Charlemange.
By the way , when is the family reunion?
Dudley1.... the uncrowned king of the Holy Roman Empire
Posted by: dudley1 on November 1, 2006 01:37 PMDenny, that was unbelievably awesome! I'm crying here from laughter. I'm linking this post on fuckfrance.com. Those guys will get a kick out of this one.
Posted by: paul on November 1, 2006 01:45 PMPaul and MM - Some of these things write themselves. It's just like fisking Molly Ivins.
Posted by: Denny on November 1, 2006 05:35 PMA delightfully savage beatdown. These schmucks learn history from some left-wing prof and a stack of PC-gutted textbooks and think they know something.
I will give the French one thing, however--they fought pretty well in WWI.
Side note to Denny: I got my Master Scuba Diver cert this summer and thus qualified to join the Coast Guard Auxiliary, which I did. Just got my security approval last week. Bwa ha ha...the SF lefties can't call me a chickenhawk any more!
Yup, he's a history buff(oon)alright. As I recall, the British Panic at Dunkerque was one of the best executed organized withdrawals in Military history. They saved their army and quite a few others as well, including many frogs, Dutch, Belgians, etc.
Britian was not invaded because of good counter intel work. They had a pet spy, a man they knew was feeding information to the Germans, and whom they misled into believing that the RAF was far stronger than they in fact were. They flew the guy arround England Wales, Scottland, and Ireland to review boyscouts, all the while darting a few squadrons of fighters in and out through the clouds. At each stop they reviewed Boy Scouts, and the detachment of anti aircraft artillery at the base. Its amazing the clod didn't recognize any of them, he saw most of those AAA guys ten or twelve times.
I have to keep reminding myself that my oldest daughter was born in Evereuax, France. I also have to remind myself why I was there in the first place. Good wine, bread and goose liver. Other than being a beautiful country the people SUCK!
Posted by: gene Hall on November 1, 2006 07:45 PMWell this would explain a few things as to how the French has a badly distorted view of the world. That must be part of that free education again. I guess this bozo never heard of the 15 billion dollars in war aid that the U.S. gave/loaned to Russia to fight the Nazi. And that the Normandy invasion was largely at the insistence of Stalin for us to "get into the war." If we wanted to stop Russia, all we had to do was do nothing. What a pinhead. Prosper, do you want to weigh in on this?
Cheers
Excellent! It's been a while since you've fisked a moron.
Posted by: marcel on November 1, 2006 09:32 PMDenny,
Don't forget -- France requires a periodic invasion by a foreign army to strengthen their gene pool. THe invading forces "conquer" more than real estate...
As evidenced by your, buddy, Sebastien, it seems it is time for French women to again be "conquered", er, I mean, time for France to be invaded. The Frech gene pool is begining to look like a shallow pond after a legthy drought -- just mud and slime (or mooseslimes).
Posted by: Rastus on November 1, 2006 09:43 PMYou know every now and then I stick up for the french because... well shit, someone has to do it.
But this?
You beret wearing, underpants stuffing nation of snooty waiters are on your own. Why don't you go deliver that same monologue from one of the cemeteries in Normandy next D-Day anniversary.
Posted by: Murray on November 1, 2006 11:33 PMFuck the fwench. They're losers. Always have been, always will be.
Even after the USA and the Brits saved their sorry asses (again) in WW2, the fuckin' losers have no graditude.
They continue to insult us.
My grandfather, a U.S. Marine, died because of defending Fwance in WW1 (He was awarded the Croix de Guerre by Fwance, the Fwench cross of honor), in the battle of Belleau Wood, when he was gassed by the Germans while defending the surrender monkeys.
Fwance is doomed.
It will be an is-slime-ic republic before most of us die.
Now, if fwance had some real men, rather than the girlie-men that inhabit and govern fwance, they might stand a chance.
Start kicking the moo-slime's asses using GUNS, not batons, and not cutting and running because they're afraid of the moo-slimes.
They deserve their future...

Posted by: Jon on November 2, 2006 05:52 AMActually, the U.S. contributed comparatively very little to World War I. The truly indespensible Allied country, the one without which WWI would have been lost is... (wait for it) France!! Yes, they did the vast majority of the heavy lifting in the war against Germany while "brave" America was whining about how much it needs to stay neutral and not get its prissy little hands dirty fighting in what was then called the Great War. America came in VERY late in WWI, to give you an example, when Germany launched its last offensive in one last attempt to win the war or break itself trying (Kaiserschlacht), America had exactly four divisions in the line, and exactly NONE of them participated in countering this last German offensive. Know who stopped them? With a little help from the British, it was the FRENCH. America came in and helped beat on an already-beaten enemy, and then proceeded to pretend like it "saved the Allies' asses". Waahahahahahahaha. What a laugh.
As for World War II, the country that was more responsible for beating Nazi Germany than any other, the one truly indespensible Allied country in WWII was..... the Soviet Union. Yes, from 22 June 1941 the Soviets faced 75% or more of German combat power, and even after the Normandy invasion STILL faced no less than two-thirds of German combat power until the end of the war. They destroyed vastly more German units than all other Allies put together. More than 80% of German combat deaths in World War II were inflicted by the Soviets. Understandably America did more than anyone else to beat the much-weaker Japanese, but they were very much a smaller, less powerful country than Germany. Not even in the same league. Compared to the fighting on the Eastern Front (Soviets versus Germany, Hungary, Finland, Romania, Italian forces and puppet Slovak forces), every other theater of the war was scarcely a sideshow. Give credit where credit is due. Without the Soviets doing the vast majority of the fighting against the Germans, there is no way the war would have ended in Allied victory over Germany. And F.Y.I., what do you think would have happened in 1940 if somehow France and America geographically switched places and America had to face the Nazis in the summer of 1940 on mainland Europe? Hmmmm?? A faster ass-kicking than the French got, that's what. So you had better thank God for the north Atlantic Ocean. Furthermore, even Thomas Paine admitted that without French help in the Revolutionary War we wouldn't have won (I believe the saying he used was "would've cut a pretty sorry figure"). So as Dick Cheney would say, "Go f*** yourself".
Posted by: Realist on November 5, 2006 08:13 PMRealist - America turned the tide of the war. of course we didn't want to get involved in one of Europe's wars. They were the assholes that got themselves into it. We were dragged into the fucking war. We finished it.
I agree about the Soviets. Hitler was a lunatic to open up another front. As for France and the United States trading place, we would have stopped Hitler before he went into the Rhineland. The French and English appeased him, just like the French are now appeasing the Moo-Slimes.
Japan was a stronger enemy than you think. They had already conquered parts of China, and a big chunk of the Asian Pacific islands. At the start of the war, their navy was larger and more modern than ours. They got their asses handed to them at the Battle of Midway. That turned the tide. Name one European country other than Germany that could have fought a two front war like the United States. And we won it!
And I am thankful for the Atlantic Ocean. It keeps us separated from France.
Oh, and go fuck yourself, asshole!
