Remember Freedom Fries.....

Remember when right wing conservatives were slamming everything French because they refused to back George W. Bush's war on Iraq. You know that illegal, immoral and unjustified war on all those WMD's that were never found. Seems they are in love with France, now that they have been attacked.
Begs the question, Why? Is it because they are actually all giddy and happy that it happened for payback! Surely it is not because it was a tragedy and they mourn for France.
Slap my ass and call me sally, just a personal observation that's all.
My prayers go out to all the victims and families, they need our support.

working type, whose best interest would be better served by democrats, yet they vote strait R every election, listen to fox, repeat dumb crap, most of them attend church every week. None are remotely saying france deserved this... they are nearly as pissed off that it happened to french as they would be if it happened to americans

With that comment you seem to think your neck of the woods is the standard for all republicans.

Here are some people considered to be folk hero's around my neck of the woods. Seriously they would be running the country if left up to my neck of the woods!

I.doubt that yours is more "standard" than mine...Mine at least reflects the results of the

last presidential election.

Just stating that your area reflects a microcosm just like mine does. That my original post is not off. There are people in this country that revel in the fact that the French were attacked. That is a statement of fact that I know personally and first hand to be true. I live in FloriDUH, does that tell you any thing?
