I liked this article. It was balanced and informative. I agree that Europeans are great at criticizing the US on many issues without really taking care of their own issues at home.
To be fair, though, France is a bit of an exception and Sarkozy appointed Rachida Dati and Rama Yade (two immigrants) to important positions (he himself is the son of an immigrant).
Something also that most readers of Pajama Media won’t know: France was the first country in the West (incl, the US) to elect a Jewish Prime minister in the 1930s, Leon Blum. So, speak about French anti-semitism now…
Last point: misanthropicus made a VERY stupid comment: “the Maquis and the French ressistence [spelling mistake here by misanthropicus] stories are mostly inventions”. Of course, you can always argue that the whole nation should have been part of the resistance blah blah blah. The fact remains that 80,000 resistants died during the war, and bravely. Spitting on heroes is a shame, and misanthropicus should be ashamed.
