This is
hardly surprising:
If the upcoming French presidential elections were held today, the controversial far-right politician Marine Le Pen would take the lead. The head of the National Front party she inherited from her father, Le Pen has overtaken the other main candidates in a recent poll by the French Institute of Public Opinion. The two other main candidates are former President Nicolas Sarkozy, a moderate conservative, and current president François Hollande, a socialist.
What do you suppose happens when socialism fails, as it always does, and when the feckless alternative fails as well? Mme. Le Pen is a much easier sell than her father was. I chose an unflattering picture of her on purpose, but others might not. Watch France carefully.

I'm not willing to be upset about the prospect of The National Front winning an election. People call it extreme - as if the de facto hasn't been extreme. People worry that it might be anti-democratic. As if Brussels isn't anti-democratic. People worry about the specter of Hitler and Mussolini - as if synagogues aren't already being attacked.
Leftist "democrats" have been sowing seeds for years now. They will be as responsible as anyone if facism makes a return.
