Fascism? No! Commonsense-ism!

Originally published in 2002.

Jean Marie Le Pen’s stunning upset in the French primaries is a result of a European backlash to the E.U., rooted in a European loss of both national and cultural sovereignty. The Left brought this upon itself, after filling the field with various Left-wing candidates, thereby splitting the vote. The truth of the matter is, the Left offers no real solution to the problems France faces, only the same old tired and hackneyed clichés. They cannot really answer LePen’s platform with solutions, only the usual name-calling, smears, and calumnies: “fascist, racist, homophobic, xenophobic, hater, nazi,” blah, blah, blah.

Yet, an examination of Le Pen’s platform, truly shows how out of touch the Left really is. They do not speak to issues germane to the average citizen, only propogate the socialist programs that have put France in the position that it is in today. They are the consummate elitists, who go to the same schools, hold political discussions in the same salons, move in the same circles, and dismiss with destain the complaints of those who they feel they are entitled by birth to rule. They claim to be for common men, but in fact are only for their own interests. The irony of irony is that socialism, which is supposed to be non classiest, is the classiest ideology in practice!

As we look at the platform of Jean-Marie LePen, we see that in fact his politics are the ones that really address the issues that are of utmost importance to the average citizen. Let’s get past the screaming and moaning, and take a look at the facts. Firstly he was a paratrooper in WWII who fought the Nazis. Yet Le Pen is called a Nazi, despite his having put his life on the line for his beloved France. Do you think that he has Nazi sympathies after having seen what they did to France during the occupation? How many of those screaming banshees on the Left did anything for their nation, or for that matter those who suffered under kkkommunism? Few, if any! Today if you dare to upset the left-wing status quo, the first thing that rings out loud and clear is, nazi, fascist, etc. Look at the facts, it won’t wash.

Le Pen wants to withdraw France from European Union and revert back to the franc. He says that France is being run out of Brussels, headquarters the EU. France lost its sovereignty under Nazi occupation. Le Pen never forgot this national trauma and all that went with it. Is wanting your national sovereignty back Fascism? No! It’s Common Sense-ism!

Le Pen wants a higher birthrate by outlawing abortion and reward citizens for adding to the population by paying a bonus to women who stay home and raise their children. The French, along with all of Europe’s White population, is dwindling due to a lower birthrate, and the curse of infanticide called abortion. He wants to stop this death of the indigenous population. Oh yes, Whites are the indigenous people of Europe. Of course that is never said, and the threat to their population is never seen as anything ominous, but it is. The non-European population is threatening to eventually overtake them, and that will lead to a loss of indigenous culture. So what is wrong with wanting to preserve your heritage? Israel is a “Jewish State”; Iran is an “Islamic State”. In South Africa the argument was that Whites were the minority and it should be a Black-majority state. So when the French work to preserve their unique culture and have a “French State” it is not Fascism, it is Common Sense-ism!

The most vitriolic attacks on Le Pen came after he referred to the gas chambers as “a detail of history”. For this he is vilified as Judeo-phobic. Yet the question begs to be answered; is Arafat, who murders Jews in Israel, is he called a Judeo-phobe? Of course not! Unlike Arafat, Le Pen is not responsible for any Jews being murdered. WWII was not fought over the Holocaust, there were many other reasons and incidents involved. In America, those who attack Le Pen as a Judeo-phobe are the same ones who honored Al Sharpton at the Academy Awards show. Sharpton has a vile history of Judeo-phobic remarks and is running for President. Hear the silence? Ditto Jesse Jackson, Rev. “Hymietown”, and “I’m sick of hearing about your Holocaust,” who ran for President and his remarks are conveniently forgotten. When these two are confronted with their statements, the response is, “that was in the past, we have to move on”, or “there are larger issues that we have to deal with”. Their toadies always say, “it was taken out of context”, or “I was not there so I cannot comment on it”. Hmm, who was there when Moses parted the Red Sea, so I guess we can’t comment on it! Le Pen should use the same arguments when he is attacked. Who knows how the remarks were made and in what context. The Left, which stayed silent whilst tens of millions were murdered by the Reds and said nothing, suddenly finds their humanity when it suits their political needs! Fascism? No! Common Sense-ism!

Le Pen wants to build 200,000 new prison beds. France is now ahead of the United States in crime. What in the hell is wrong with wanting to stop crime? France is the most overregulated and overtaxed nation in Europe. All this government spending and oppressive regulation has given it out-of-control crime. The socialist mantra of “root causes” has no relation to the victims of violent crime. No, instead they worry about the perpetrators. Le Pen is speaking to the French citizen who is sick and tired of out-of-control crime, and the problems associated with it. We know full well in the U.S. that crime drives people out of neighborhoods, costs lives, and destroys the quality of life. Is that so bad to punish the guilty? Look at how the socialist wonderland of kkkommunist China treats its criminals. A bullet in the head for non-violent “offenders” and the family pays for the bullet! Where are their outcries about that socialist “haven”? Le Pen wants to reinstate the death penalty. Are the Leftists upset at the rate of execution in Cuba, China, and of course N. Korea? Instead they brand Le Pen a “fascist”! He wants to expand the powers of the police, and give them new rights. When crime is out of control as it is in France, is this such a bad idea? The Left has gotten them into this situation, and his plan is much more realistic than theirs. Fascism? No! Common Sense-ism!

Le Pen wants to end legal immigration and deport illegal aliens. What is wrong with that? Unregulated immigration is a drain on a nation’s resources. Housing, public services, natural resources, just to name a few, are caused by out-of-control immigration. Look at the U.S., and what it has done. Le Pen wants to end it, which he sees as for the good of his country. The Leftist elitists feel that since they are insulated from these problems, they of course look down at those who are for ending it. He wants to deport illegal aliens. So, what is the problem? They are there illegally, and have broken the law. This is the punishment. Notice, the Left will crucify you for a so-called “hate crime”, or a remark they deem to be, “hateful”, but breaking a nation’s law on immigration shouldn’t be punished according to them! No, instead let the illegals come live in their homes and take their goods and possessions. Do that and you would see them how fast they would change their tune! Fascism? No! Common-Sense-ism!

Le Pen would give French citizen’s priority for all jobs and public housing. He wants to create a dual system of health benefits for citizens, and a separate one for foreigners working in France, so that tax money would be used for citizens only. We know that immigrants are tremendous drain on our health care system. Le Pen wants taxpayers to know that their money goes to their benefit. Oh, I see, it’s wrong to have your money spent the way you want! What is wrong with giving priority to those who are legally citizens? According to the Left, nationalism is wrong only when practiced by Europe and America. When it is practiced by a third world nation, then it is considered in their best interest. What hypocrisy! Fascism? No! Common Sense-ism!

LePen would allow only French citizens to teach in French schools, and reinstate morality classes. By having only citizens teach the national culture, loyalty to France would be tremendously helped. Europe is an immoral sewer, fed by years of socialist propaganda of “anything goes”-isms. A moral nation is a strong nation. He wants to have children participate in patriotic events. So, where is the problem? The Left never says a word about the mass demonstrations and military parades in N. Korea or Cuba, but when a European nation wants to display patriotism then they scream bloody murder! Fascism? No! Common Sense-ism!

Le Pen is called a bigot for wanting to ban the wearing of yarmulkes, crosses and headscarves in public schools. Looking at this without the screaming and hysteria, we see that he is really following the separation of church and state. There was a time in this country when you couldn’t wear a headcovering of any kind in a public building. That was a display of respect for that institution. Today you can wear anything in a public school, and look what it has done for us! To tell Mohammandist girls that they are in a French school, and not at home is perfectly correct. To tell observant Jews and Christians the same thing is correct. Wear your religious gear in your own institution, but not in a public one is following the path that religion is not allowed to interfere with being part of a larger culture. Diversity leads to adversity. Showing religious differences leads to conflict. Just look at the Middle East to confirm this. He wants an end to dual citizenship. One nation, one people, one loyalty is not Fascism, it is Common Sense-ism!

France has become the fourteenth largest economy, thanks to socialists and their outmoded and outdated programs. Crime is out of control. In fact, hoodlums now burn cars just for fun. Its economy is behind the state of California. Its people have lost faith and trust in their government. Illegals are behind much of the crime and drain upon resources. A once great nation has deteriorated into a former shell of it’s past self. Of course the Left never takes responsibility for what they have wrought. The resurgence of the Right in Europe is sending a message, “we are fed up with the loss of sovereignty, and all the ills associated with socialist programs”. Le Pen’s showing has let the world know that the people of France are tired also. Let them scream “Fascism”, it’s really just plain old-fashioned Common Sense-ism!

Thank You!
