Remember when conservatives were dumping french wine and eating Freedumb Fries?

And calling the French "cheese eating surrender monkeys"?

And JEB! making jokes about "the French 3-day work week"?

Are these the same morans outraged by the ISIS attack in Paris?????

How soon they forgot their outrage against the nation that fought with us in the Revolutionary War.

An observation...

Some desperately wish we would stop talking about these things, I say rehash it all. Never a bad time for a history lesson.

You assume the French needed an excuse to screw over the British . They have been doing that to each other for centuries.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend." Which is exactly how both Americans and the French looked at each other in relation to George III's Britain.

Of course small-minded, ignorant, selfish, detestable conservatives wouldn't know or care about that.
