French post

Anothe chapter of "LIving by Orwell", where our legislators engage on more doublespeak, erasing memories of our dreaded enemies and changing menus in cafeterias:

Jones said he was inspired by Cubbie's restaurant in Beaufort, N.C., in his district, one of the first to put "freedom fries" on the menu instead of french fries.
Hell, if some redneck changes their fries to freedom, ok, it is their prerrogative. After all, we all live here in the freedom loving South, hotbed of freedom of speech and none at all racist sexist xenophobe.
But to do it in an official capacity. Ugh.
What next? Erasing Laffayette's contributions to the independence of the USA? Editing the news, so the French won't appear? Rewrite history, so WWI and its 1.5 million dead French and WWII with its 500.000 thousand French dead won't disturb our eateries and politicians?
Fast, go to idlewords and visit their french week.

We need an Embargo with France, and if Canada has a problem with that, hell, shut down the border. Everyone knows the Italians, British, Spanish, Irish, and Japanese are far superior to France and thier buddy buddy Canada! I regret the US saving the back stabbing French from the Germans in WWII. We should have taken the Mona lisa and let the Green Army blow up Paris! How do ya like them apples? - Gen. Avery Peirce

Canada is the closest neighbor to the US in political relationship, however, they speak French, they are derived from France, and now they want to act like france too. What next, Canadians will stop showing like the French? Besides Quebec is a filthy city along with Montreal, you can have you worthless, corrupt, and prostitution infested havens, we don't need them! - Alex Cortez

History repeats itself...the Brits took the insult during the American Revolution, the Southerners were the targets of ignorance during the Civil War, the Mexicans and the Tejanos experienced discriminatory acts of violence during the Texas Revolution, the Mexican-American War, and Panch Villa's raid on New Mexico, the Japanese were jailed during WWII, the Russians and Communists were targeted during the Cold War, and the French and the Middle Easterners receive the brunt of ethnocentric racism today. Whatever happened to America's melting pot? Is the name of a culinary dish actually going to change the war on Iraq? If that is the case, change the name of King Ranch Casserole (Does the Bourland Land Commission ring a bell?), Polish Sausage, Southern Fried Chicken (The south did rise again!), Mexican Casserole (Viva La Raza!), Bavarian Pie,Swiss Cheese, Boston Baked Beans, English Muffins, and the London Broil(The Boston Tea Party partcipants rebeled against the Monarchy.), Danish Pastries, and Irish Soda Bread (Irish immigrants were not welcome at one time!) - Daniella Virgilia Alfaro
