A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Nantes

The incident wasn't quite so amusing to the French National Front tour since their buses got ambushed but I imagine there was great comedy for those who splashed them with paint.  (RT:  French National Front convoy attacked on way to rally (VIDEO, PHOTOS))

The French National Front is another of the outfits in the various countries with extremist views regarding nationalism.  It doesn't look like those views are as well-accepted, at least in Nantes, as Marine Le Pen may have hoped.

Roughly 50 protesters have blocked convoy and ambushed carrying members of the far-right National Front Party (FN) approximately 20km from Nantes, France.

"Three buses, two from Rennes and one from VitrĂ©, were attacked.  There was a roadblock, the road was blocked, and they burned tires," said Emeric Salmon, a FN councillor for the Bretagne region said, as reported by France 3.

Ain't this great since it's like the guerrilla Resistance fighting le Bosch.

Marine Le Pen plays the same artless word dance as Donald Trump with regard to Muslims, some of whom are good but mostly they're bad.  It's the same thing with Germany's PEGIDA and with Nigel Farage in UKIP from England, etc.


The hatefulness is running high in the world, my chill'uns, and maybe it's remarkable to you to see the Vatican doesn't have a tiny part of it.  The example coming from the Vatican is not one I've ever seen before and it's welcomed.

Ed:  they elected Trump.  They can suck it!

Not so fast on that indictment, Judge Roy, since Catholics are all over the place.  Trump was elected by the same Thugee nationalists we see in other countries.  Maybe some of them were Catholics but we can also be sure many were not.

Trump supporters are often accused of being KKK members but one thing you will never see is a KKK supporting Catholic since the KKK hates them too (unless they have modified their hate list for a more modern context).


The general sentiment behind most of the hatefulness is someone, usually an immigrant, got something I had a right to get.  In Texas, the idea is common that illegal Mexican immigrants are taking jobs from Americans.  They still call them 'wetbacks' too.

There's no logic to it since anyone here illegally has no green green card and no Social Security number so he or she can't get a legal job.  Right from the top, that eliminates competitions with Americans since none would ever take such a job.


Trump said he would get the 'bad dudes' but that just makes him sound like Mister Rooney's secretary in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off."




The 'bad dudes' at the top have successfully transferred any idea of taking things from Wall Street to illegal immigrants.  No-one says much of anything about Goldman Sachs now but they will wail all day long about Mexicans.

They just switch the script to Muslims in France but it's otherwise the same.  Don't worry about the tourbuses since they look better when they're painted white anyway, don't they.


Meanwhile, half of the tax gold goes to the military and for protest we hear nothing but crickets.
