Germans Invade Phrance AGAIN
Hat tip: Cracker Barrel Philosopher. EFL.PARIS -- Those French citizens who thought they would spend a quiet day at the Louvre this week have found themselves assaulted by German youths, dozens of them, intent on plying them with blue-and-yellow flags, heaps of literature and long, impassioned arguments. "I'm asking you, as fellow Europeans, to think about whether you want my people to retreat back into our old history," WTF? Die Deitche are going to become Huns and Nazis again if the Phrogs don't vote yes on the EU "Constitution"? Does that include the Germans who said at the beginning of the shooting war that nothing is worth going to war over? What the hell is this clown smoking? Hans-Stefan Stemmer, a 20-year-old Berlin university student, told a bewildered elderly couple in fluent French How very cosmopolitan! I know I'm impressed. the other day in the museum's elegant courtyard. They declined his offer of European Union flags, but said they'd think about his entreaties. Mr. Stemmer and hundreds of his comrades are part of a desperate last-ditch effort this week by leaders across Europe to persuade the French to vote in favour of adopting the European Union constitution in a May 29 referendum. To the shock and horror of French leaders, the people seem prepared to defy the wishes of the elite BINGO! At least some of the Phrench may become Americans yet. ;-p and cast a majority Non vote. That would invalidate the constitution, which requires approval by all 25 EU countries. Nothing seems to have worked. GOOD! You'll be grateful later. Polls this week show the Non side with a slight lead over the Oui vote, even though all the major French political parties are in favour, as are every major newspaper and TV station, most magazines and a truckload of celebrities, from Gérard Depardieu to Jeanne Moreau, who have been hauled in front of TV screens with increasing desperation. The fact that all of these particular elitist clowns are in favor of it would make me suspicious right off the bat. None of it was working, so this week, it was time to bring in the Germans. Are they as welcome as they were the last time? Did The students have been bused from across Germany to beg and plead on French streets for people to cast a Oui vote, in the belief that French citizens, suddenly disillusioned with their media and politicians, are more likely to listen to rank (Must..resist..urge..to..make..snotty..hygiene..crack) outsiders. Read the rest at the link. Much possible snark leaps to mind with this story. But I'm not touching it with a 50-foot tuning fork. Posted by: Barbara Skolaut 2005-05-21 |
