Anti-socialist and anti-Muslim but how we love our French Impressionists, especially Renoir! Do you not realize that Lafayette and the American revolutionaries fought for Freedom of Religion, among other things, and not just Freedom of the Protestant religion? Where is your respect for religions other than your own? And what do you really know about socialism? I guess you think corporate greed is preferable.

I wished we lived close enough to get together for a "French Conversation" club! And I also love the French Impressionism, and so many more things. There are many things about France I don't like, such as socialism, post-modernism, over-run by Muslims, etc. But I still have a strange love of the country and its culture and language, and pray for them often. e-Mom, J’aime la France, aussi!

Maybe it's because I've studied French since kindergarten (Canada's second language), or maybe it's because I love French Impressionism--especially Renoir. There's just something particularly endearing about the French, including their cafe au lait, croc monsiers, le mistral, Paris, etcetera! This post was very informative Jennifer. You're a wonderful student of political history. Thanks for filling in some of the gaps. Too bad France (and the rest of Europe) have been eclipsed by other foreign powers. Eventually, Europe's fate may befall the U.S. ... in time ... shudder. :~D I love La France!
