Hollande’s
Socialist Party, which hasn’t ousted an incumbent president in over
three decades, has every reason to celebrate. But the true winner of
this election isn’t France’s left; it’s Europe’s far right.
The reason is simple. In this election, France’s establishment has
embraced Islamophobic ideas to an unprecedented degree.
What was more surprising about the debate was the extent to which even
Hollande tried to appeal to the far right. When Sarkozy contended that
tensions between France’s ethnic groups are to be explained by the
presence of “Islam in France,” Hollande vowed to uphold a ban on women
wearing the burqa in public. When Sarkozy raised the issue of halal
meat, Hollande vowed that France’s school cafeterias would not serve a
single piece of halal meat during his presidency. Trying to outdo his
rival, Hollande went out of his way to emphasize that, unlike Sarkozy,
he had favored a ban on French schoolgirls wearing the veil as early as
2003. [blah-blah-bama

Socialism never worked before, but France is determined to prove this once again.

The voters of France and Greece have cut their throats and maybe started a Depression in Europe which will spread thoughout the world. I am still in shock as to these votes and so fearful of the future. Please, God help us.
