Can you believe this? The AP News is reporting that “French Bashing is Alive and Well in the U.S.” Who knew? They are citing an advertisement by the Subway chain which said “France and chicken, somehow it just goes together“, along with a photo of a chicken dressed like Napoleon. Take a look - AlphaPatriot has the details HERE. Now Subway claims they were only tauting French cuisine while describing their new Cordon Bleu chicken sandwich. The French took offense and Subway has removed the ads. However, take a look at Subway’s unabashed anti-American advertising the American corporation used in Germany: “Subway Ends ‘Fat Statue of Liberty’ Campaign“. (IMAGE from Frontiers of Freedom)

The AP is also claiming that a talk show host for Fox News derided French aid in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Even worse, another Fox commentator lamented about the July 7th terrorist attacks in London that the “International Olympic Committee had ‘missed a golden opportunity’ because, if France had been selected to host the 2012 Olympics, terrorists would ‘blow up Paris, and who cares?’” I didn’t see that - guess I have to watch Fox News more. Of course, it was my favorite Fox star, “take-no-prisoners” John Gibson.

Why do the French hate us so, and do we deserve their enmity? Well, it is true that in the 1600s and 1700s America welcomed with open arms the hated French protestants and French Jews who had escaped their native land with only their lives. However, France did help our ragtag army when we were fighting a revolution centuries ago, but that was only because we were fighting the British. We repaid them by saving them from the Nazis, but since not all of the French wanted to be saved, perhaps that stirred up resentment. Now America is fighting on the same side as the British, so that is probably the biggest reason they hate us now, and the fact that we captured Saddam, the best bud of France’s dear leader, Jacques.

But do we really hate them, and would such a strong emotion be worth the effort? Just stop buying their smelly cheeses and now second-rate wines and let it go at that. If they manufacture anything else worthwhile, I cannot think what it is. Whatever it is, we don’t need it. No American should want to be a tourist to a country where he/she is not welcome. Just forget about them as they are well on their chosen path to anti-semitism and Islamism.

The pro-French “miquelon.org” have documented that anti-French jokes are being told by American comics. They tell us to Remember Yorktown. We do remember Yorktown and it reminds us that Jacques Chirac is no General Lafayette. Do we hate the French? Absolutement NON! We just choose to ignore them.

Sweet Spirits of Ammonia does not understand the French pique as each Subway sandwich included a white napkin which could be used for surrendering. Cao’s Blog objects to the French using Fifi and les chats as shark bait. Kerfuffles suggests they use those French chickens from Subway instead.
