#1 Rouge en rouge.

#2 Should be "rouge sur rouge", but it still wouldn't mean anything in french.

And if by "red", you mean ennemy, I don't think french people, tourists or not, are the USA (or in your case, Canada)'s ennemies, unless words have no meaning. An annoyance, adversaries at worst, even the neogaullists; only "ennemies" would be the usual suspects (leftists and assorted msm tools, Moderate Muslims), but you've got exactly the same ones at home, their "frenchness" is not a defining factor.

I won't do it, but... Remember me to glee and say "red on red" next time a canadian is killed or kidnapped; I mean, Canada's got a pretty large liberal population, hasn't it? Moonbats, neomarxists,... Surely it has a multiculturalism-dominated intellectual life? Isn't the proud father of both the oil-for-food program and the Kyoto pact a canuck? Canada's Enlightened Elites are full of tranzis, aren't they?

Excalibur, please, cut down on your french bashing, it is as unhealthy as France's judeomania; I mean, you're obesssed by frenchies, I swear, everytime there's a France-related post, I know in advance you'll be there, faithful and regular, to throw in a cliché. You love to hate us. Hey, why not? It's a PC-authorized racism, after all.

Criticize France for what it does and what it did, what it invented in terms of false ideologies, I won't disagree, in fact, I will be right behind you... but stop criticizing it (or rather the imaginary version you seem to believe is the "real" thing) for what it supposedly is.

Really, what's your beef with France? Did one of your ex leave you for a quebecquois or what? Come on, it's tiring, and distracting.

#3 Hit him again, A5089! You are right, it is tiring.

#4 The distance from adversary to enemy is a short one. As I look back over the half century of my life I struggle to find the examples of France acting as an ally of the US. Crickets. The reflexive position of the French government is to adopt whatever policy is in opposition to that taken by the U. S. almost regardless of what is in France's interest. This French default position has become equally tiring.

#5 The French in Paris (I.E., the elitist, government-dominated bureaucratic nihilists, "journalists", and other hangers-on) are not our friends. Most of the people in rural France are far more pleasant to be around. The French GOVERNMENT is nasty, arrogant, and needs an enema.
