I was enlightened in French class today about this party leader in France named Jean-Marie Le Pen. He originally wanted to restore france to a monarchy, but when everyone made fun of him he changed over to attacking immigrants and immigration. His party "Le Front National" is famous for their slogan "France pour les Francais" (france for the french). He's trying to take over power (democratically, ring any bells?) by playing through peoples fears (again. hitler.. duh) of immigrants stating that all of frances problems are caused by them (getting the connection?) anyways, he has this what might seem hilarious, but is actually somewhat terrifying flash videoon the frontnational website which you should all see: he also, as deranged as this might seem, he qualified in the presidential elections in 2002 to go onto the second round of voting, meaning out of all the presidential candidates he was second only to Jacques Chirac. and in the final round of voting recieved 18% of the vote. 18%!!! that's ridiculous considering that this guys political views intend on expelling all immigrants from france. If you want more information wikipedia covers it fairly well.

Wow- that's really scary, why would all those people do such a thing (the same should be asked about America's anti-immigrant policies- which are weird in America because we are a country of immigrants- excepting the Native Americans. of course)?

Just shot in the foot? I would expect something more horrific from you, Katie.
But the pee thing- yeah I think that covered the horrific factor for you, never mind.
