Desperately seeking anti-Americanism

Posted on April 26th, 2007 by Jackie Danicki

So…Segolene Royal knows she’s on a hiding to nothing in her attempt to win the French presidency. So what’s her last-ditch, desperate attempt to sway voters?

Accuse Sarkozy of kissing America’s collective ass, and President Bush’s specific ass.

    France as France is doomed, no matter which of these two is elected. The victories of Charles Martel are being undone before our eyes.

    I think Antoine has lobbied for us to name any son of ours after Martel (who conveniently has the same first name as Antoine’s grandfather). Better than Dagobert, I suppose.

    You lot want to get a grip, you really do…instead of glorying in wars that happened millenia ago and have 0 relevance today.

    Steven, why are you such an intellectual pygmie? Go away.

    Steven Wood says: 0 relevance today?

    Hmm. Well Edward Gibbon wrote:
    “A victorious line of march had been prolonged above a thousand miles from the rock of Gibraltar to the banks of the Loire; the repetition of an equal space would have carried the Saracens to the confines of Poland and the Highlands of Scotland; the Rhine is not more impassable than the Nile or Euphrates, and the Arabian fleet might have sailed without a naval combat into the mouth of the Thames. Perhaps the interpretation of the Koran would now be taught in the schools of Oxford, and her pulpits might demonstrate to a circumcised people the sanctity and truth of the revelation of Mahomet”.

    Stephen Wood also said: “wars that happened millenia ago”

    Gibbon was writing in the 1780s, whereas the Battle of Tours was in 732 which is less than two millenia ago so unless Mr Wood has a different theory of arithmetic to that of the rest of us, he is wrong.

    I suppose Steven Wood might be a greater authority on medieval history than Gibbon was, but he doesn’t write as well.

    One thing is for sure, no one in the world would be called “Steven Wood” today if Gibbon was right.

    As it happens, the fact that Nicolas Sarkozy did BETTER in Marseille than he did nationally is hopeful to me.
