French Bashing is not just a temporary political phenomenon, although the  election of French President Nicholas Sarkozy was an amazing development that signaled a new awareness among the French electorate.  We admired his chutzpah when he walked out on a CBS 60 Minute interview.  Now we admire the stand he is taking to protect French culture from the cancer of the Islamic invasion. As we Anglophiles accelerate our descent into the abyss of European-style socialism and political correctness, we should hope that a nation that has already made every possible mistake could by their bad example serve to warn us of the consequences of such folly.  But even as Sarkozy attempts to make the necessary reforms, France's intractable unions are fighting him at every turn. Their death wish is mirrored in the U.S as a similar parasitic infestation consumes the Obamanation. So rather than lament our own miserable situation, we continue to find solace in mocking the French: 

Mark Twain observed in 1879:
''There is nothing lower than the human race except the French.''

The French are worried that their language, once the language of diplomacy, will sink further into oblivion resulting in an Anglophonic Empire where everyone eats McDonald's Hamburgers.

The French bash the U.S. too.  It doesn't get much attention outside France, Belgium, and Quebec because it's written in a declining language.  For a serious look at the kind of sophistry that passes in Europe for critical analysis, look at this shallow diatribe. (HERE)

Someday we may tire of ridiculing the French, but until that happens, keep sending jokes and news stories about the price they are paying for their on-going betrayal.

 "The French are always reticent to surrender to the wishes of their friends and always more than willing to surrender to the wishes of their enemies."

Dennis Miller

George Bush, Jaques Chirac and Tony Blair all go hunting. At the end of the night, they are cleaning their game and having a drink when Tony Blair stands, throws a bottle of whiskey in the air and yells "For Queen and country". He then pulls out a pistol and shoots the bottle out of the air. 

Chirac stands and throws a bottle of champagne in the air screaming, "Viva la France". He, too, pulls his pistol and shoots the bottle. 

George, not to be out done throws a can of beer in the air and pulls out his pistol. Then he shoots Chirac and yells "It doesn't get any better than this".

Astronomers spotted a meteor heading towards the earth. They  calculate that it will strike France in four days and is large enough to wipe France from the face of the earth. 

France and the UN have requested that the U.S. immediately send all available ships and aircraft to evacuate the French population. Hundreds of thousands of French people are gathered on Omaha Beach at Normandy hoping for US ships to appear on the horizon. 

What is the President of the U.S. to do? The ships and planes he could send are being used to fight the war on terror overseas. 

As President, he must decide: (1) Does he stay up that night to watch live coverage of the impact, or (2) Does he tape it and watch it the next day?
