Is France Really the poster child for Liberty?

 Liberte

Well hardly.France is one of the most statist countries in Europe.Entrepreneurs are fleeing under swingeing taxation and of course it is the prime mover of the creation of the EU that most illiberal of constructs.

  Egalite

Read communism,socialism,collectivism,anti success ergo anti freedom.


 Fraternite

What on earth does that mean anyway - sounds like groupthink; it is a kind of half-assed word denoting a out of focus emotion undefined and open to any interpretation but largely applied in a collectivist context re unions and we know what their action has done to France over the decades, reducing it to the sick man of Europe.

So they may march in solidarity today re the terrorist attacks but the above would indicate that the biggest threat to the liberty of France is not some stray Islamic head cases but  France itself.
