<humming>Springtime for 'sama and Caliphate. Winter for Israel and 'states. </humming>

Hey Derspeiss, what's the deal with the anti-French thing?

Dunno.  Aren't most people like that?  Anyway I'm not really as anti-French as you might think. I was very much pro-French during the Sarko era.  And I still wish the best for them, despite the fact that they'd just as soon watch the entire US go up in flames.

So it's dependent on them having a conservative as a President?

[Eddie Teach]

So kinda like the huge bump America got when it elected Obama.

Well...no more than any other European country.

No (and Sarko was pretty moderate btw)-- just someone who doesn't do the anti-American thing to score cheap political points.

Goes back to them skeeving in on derspiess' fur trade.

I'm telling you people, it's that piece of shit de Gaulle's fault.  Back in the day Amerikkka loved France.  Remember how they helped us push Britain's shit in during the Revolution?  We used to be pretty damn grateful for that.

Being anti-french has a long and glorious history in this country.

Meh, that was a short-ass honeymoon.  French-hate can be traced as far as back as the Jeffersonian-Hamiltonian split over the French Revolution, Genet pissing off George Washington, and even further back to the Seven Years' War on the North American continent.

DeGaulle gets the rap because it's still chic to do so amongst red state mouthbreathers.  Not without some merit, but it's also a rather dated reason.

Roosevelt's fondness for French fascists didn't help

De Gaulle's magnificent. Americans moan about Europe not wanting to pull their weight in the world and then bitch about the one country that does

No shit, right?  Everybody bashed the French for doing their own thing, when they know damned well they'd never tolerate anything less of themselves.

France is the cat that would never consent to be a slave, amongst a continent of pack-mentality dogs.

I think when America's replaced as a global power they'll be like France. From the outside you're both very similar. Infuriating to the end, but normally, probably, reluctantly right

You forgot the undeclared naval war.
