  1. When are you getting rid of the French software on this web site. Look at all those dots all over France and only one dot in the whole USA. They are so full of themselves!

  2. Do a Google search for ”French Military Victories” and you get—

    Be sure to follow the suggested alternative link. LOL  Maybe this has been shown before?

  3. Try hitting the “I’m feeling lucky” button. It returns:

    Did you mean: french military defeats

    No standard web pages containing all your search terms were found.

    Your search - french military victories - did not match any documents.

  4. And for you music fans, Jacques Chirac sings a medley of his favorite tunes

  5. “In Flanders fields the poppies blow
    Between the crosses, row on row,
    That mark our place; and in the sky
    The larks, still bravely singing, fly
    Scarce heard amid the guns below.

    We are the Dead.  Short days ago
    We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
    Loved and were loved, and now we lie
    In Flanders fields.

    Take up our quarrel with the foe:
    To you from falling hands we throw
    The torch; be sure to hold it high.
    If you break faith with us who die
    We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
    In Flanders fields.”

    R.I.P., poor devils.  All that you died for has been blown away on a vile cloud of yellow-crossed socialist gas.

  6. I think Vilmar or Allan once posted this before, but it sure fits here now:

    * * A French Poem * *


    Eleven thousand soldiers
    lay beneath the dirt and stone,
    all buried on a distant land
    so far away from home.

    For just a strip of dismal beach
    they paid a hero’s price,
    to save a foreign nation
    they all made the sacrifice.

    And now the shores of Normandy
    are lined with blocks of white:
    Allies who didn’t turn
    from someone else’s plight.

    Eleven thousand reasons
    for the French to take our side,
    but in the moment of our need,
    they chose to run and hide.

    Chirac said every war means loss,
    perhaps for France that’s true,
    for they’ve lost every battle
    since the days of Waterloo!

    Without a soldier worth a damn
    to be found within the region,
    the French became the only land
    to need a Foreign Legion.

    You French all say we’re arrogant.
    Well hell, we’ve earned the right-
    We saved your sorry nation
    when you lacked the guts to fight.

    But now you’ve made a big mistake,
    and one that you’ll regret;
    you took sides with our enemies,
    and that we won’t forget.

    It wasn’t just our citizens
    you spit on when you turned,
    but every one of yours
    who fell the day the towers burned.

    You spit upon our soldiers,
    on our pilots and Marines,
    and now you’ll get a little sense
    of just what payback means.

    So keep your Paris fashions
    and your wine and your champagne,
    and find some other market
    that will buy your aeroplanes.

    And try to find somebody else
    to wear your French cologne,
    for you’re about to find out
    what it means to stand alone.

    You see, you need us far more
    than we ever needed you.
    America has better friends
    who know how to be true.

    I’d rather stand with warriors
    who have the will and might,
    than huddle in the dark
    with those whose only flag is white.

    I’ll take the Brits, the Aussies,
    the Israelis and the rest,
    for when it comes to valor
    we have seen that they’re the best.

    We’ll count on one another
    as we face a moment dire,
    while you sit on the sideline
    with a sign, “friendship for hire.”

    We’ll win this war without you
    and we’ll total up the cost,
    and take it from your foreign aid,
    and then you’ll feel the loss.

    And when your nation starts to fall,
    well Frenchie, you can spare us,
    just call the Germans for a hand,
    they know the way to Paris.

  7. This indeed fits here now, Dan.  Appreciate your posting it!  wink

  8. According to the visual representation of where the http://www.barking-moonbat.com visitors are located, this is a French friendly web site. Look at all those dots in France. I would encourage Allan to get rid of this despicable piece-of-shit French software. I know for certain that Allan is a good enough computer geek to write an American alternative to this French piece of crap. I volunteer my time as a computer geek, to make this happen.

  9. Take a good look at the big map, chaps.  There is only one dot per country, any country, large or small, and that includes France.  The four dots crowded along its eastern and northeastern borders represent Switzerland, Luxembourg, Belgium and Holland.  If ever there is a dot on the Spanish border, it will represent tiny Andorra.  A dot near the Italian border will represent Monaco.  If Italy ever shows up with two dots, it will mean that someone in San Marino checked in.  A dot jammed between Germany and Switzerland will represent Liechtenstein.

    I am no particular fan of France myself, but let us at least be fair (and use our eyes).

  10. How about my quote: “I’d rather have a German division in front of me than a French division behind me.”
    Or this one from Gen. Schwartzkopf: “Going to war without France is like going hunting without an accordion.”

  11. A French General and an Austrian General were preparing for battle.  The Austrian General said,
    “Orderly, bring me my bright red tunic.”
    The French General asked, “Why bright red?”
    The Austrian answered, “So that, in case I am wounded, my men won’t see the blood and become demoralized.”
    The French General thought a moment and said, “Orderly, bring me my brown trousers.” shit

  12. Tannenberg,

    Maybe you have got a point. It irritates me that they have so damn many small nations over there. It is beyond my comprehension, why a country should be allowed to exist, on a spot of land that is no larger than Hale county Texas. A pox on all their red spots!

  13. PS: I am still a little pissed off about the French, Eurocentric software.
