BHL has always been introduced in France as "Philosophe de Droite", no leftist! BUT! there is no Right anymore in France (West Europe!), see Jacques Chirac! Or maybe it's the Right going more Right; so more Left, I say!
They all sang the same song when it came to The War in Iraq! Keep Saddam!!!
I wonder what he meant by far-right group in America (the KKK?) hating France! I am certainly very mad at the French myself! I can't listen to their endless debates on TV no more! Empty rethoric! They talk like gossipers! Gossipers condemn, accuse, excuse! and most important, are wrong in their assessments!
What makes America America - and I hope you wont succeed in changing America into France or Europe!-, is the fact that It's the only country that is by essence! right-wing! Understanding that it's not an insult, but a plus!!!
Plus don't be afraid by the Right, they are the most Tolerant amongst us!!! Loving, respectful, no slaves!!! (And No slave-traders!)
About Capital Punishment, it's nice to stay alive, but I couldn't live one day behind bars in a small cell, back to my jail days of school (in Europe!). What's more cruel? an overdose of morphine? or 20/30 years of Hell? - Let's say I was not the murderer!
I mean, nothing is so sure! I used to like BHL! Never was interested to (nor could!) read his books! But more he compromises with left-wing clichés, more I thing he has lost it! The day he or anybody else will stop lecturing America about what makes America great, ITS OWN WAYS!; and say for example: "Its a Wonder even when it Bleeds!!!", that day you will all gain my respect for you, the individuals!!!
...for understanding and respecting the Magic of America! Without Conditions!!!
Comparing Guantanamo Bay (with savage taliban) and Torture with the French torturers in Algeria, it's the worst comparison one could make! Everybody is so self-centered unfortunately! Even a well-Known Philosopher! You can't trust these intellectuals! They are not God after all, this one is Polyanna, which is no insult!!!
anyway, beside his contradictions, his is still nicer than many others!
PS. He is certainly right about Pat Buchanan! He should have his own Party! That would be a far-right party?
Or maybe simply the "Pat Buchanan Party"!
