Some 700 people have been removed from more than 40 illegal Roma (Gypsy) camps in France as part of a police crackdown backed by President Nicolas Sarkozy. The country's Interior Minister, Brice Hortefeux, said the Roma would be returned to their country of origin on "specially chartered flights". Meanwhile, members of a committee of UN experts sharply criticised France's treatment of Roma. They said racism and xenophobia were undergoing a "significant resurgence". The UN's Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination is investigating how traveller communities, including the Roma, are treated. Some of the experts on the panel issued sharp criticism about the tone of political discourse in France, including its recent debate on national identity and immigration. The committee is expected to make final recommendations by the end of the month. 'Social burden' Last month President Nicolas Sarkozy announced plans to shut 300 illegal camps within the next three months. The police moved in last week. Mr Sarkozy also said members of the Roma community who had committed public order offences would be deported immediately. The order was a response to last month's attack on a police station in the Loire Valley town of Saint-Aignan by a group of young Roma. The other main Roma population is made up of recent immigrants, mainly from Romania and Bulgaria. They have the right to enter France without a visa but must have work or residency permits to settle over the long-term. French officials said those immigrants could be returned under European law if they were jobless and represented a social burden. "All the measures are taken in the context of voluntary return, accompanied by humanitarian aid," said French immigration ministry official Frederique Doublet. The interior minister has announced that he will be meeting Romanian junior minister next week to call on Romanian police to assist in the crackdown in France. Poster Comment: It's a sad commentary when France can handle their illegal invaders better than America.

The relationship between morality and liberty is a directly proportional one.
They're chained to their desks, dynamite couldn't pry them away from the power and perks they so desperately crave, they're like heroin addicts.

War Song for the Army of the Rhine, dedicated to Bavarian-born Marshal Nicolas Luckner: Come, children of the Fatherland Do you hear unto the countrysides, To arms, citizens What does this horde of slaves, To arms, citizens.. What! Foreign cohorts To arms, citizens... Tremble, tyrants and you traitors To arms, citizens... Frenchman, as magnanimous warriors, To arms, citizens... Sacred love of the Fatherland ------- Napoleon banned all that, substituting the Salute to Empire: Let's take care of/stand guard over/watch over the salvation/the health of the Empire, Refrain. Freedom, freedom, that all mortals pay tribute to you, From the salvation of our fatherland Enemies of tyranny, Refrain. Freedom, freedom, that thy sacred name will unify us. ------------ Propositional Americanism IS imperialism.

Vive la France! The Roma are and have always been, a menace. The French are dying by socialism, but they're dying in a nice way. Sitting around, nobody working except restaurateurs, everybody hanging out drinking wine, eating, looking at pretty girls. Sure, they'll implode soon (in fact, they pretty much are now), but by golly, they're going to self destruct with style! heh

So tough of the French to round up the Gypsies .... just as they did for Vichey 75 years earlier. The Gypsies, of course, are notorious for having no political clout anywhere in the world, nor a chunk of land to call their own. Let me know if (not when) the French grow a pair and round up and throw out the Arab migrants who, according to Falluci and Brigitte Bardot, among others, are wrecking the country that shows them hospitality, vandalizing its historic landmarks, creating a criminal class that intimidates even the police, etc.
Better??

The day of glory has arrived!
Against us about the tyranny
The bloody banner is raised (repeat)
of those ferocious soldiers wailing?
They're coming right into your arms,
To cut off the throats of your sons and wives
Form your battalions
So one impure blood
Waters our furrows!
of traitors and conjured kings want?
For whom are these ignoble shackles,
These long-prepared fetters? (repeat) Frenchman, for us, ah! What outrage
What fury it should arouse!
It is we whom they dare plan
To return to ancient slavery!
Would make the law in our homes!
What! These mercenary phalanxes
Would strike down our proud warriors! (repeat)
Great God! By chained hands
Our foreheads would bow under the yoke
Vile despots would become
The masters of our destinies!
The shame of all parties
Tremble! Your parricidal schemes
Will finally receive their reward (repeat)
Everyone is a soldier to combat you
If they fall, our young heroes,
The earth will produce anew
Against you, all are ready to fight!
You bear or hold back your blows!
You spare these sorry victims,
Who arm against us with regret (repeat)
But not these bloodthirsty despots,
These accomplices of Bouille
All these tigers who, mercilessly
Rip their mother's breast!
Lead, support our avenging arms
Liberty, cherished liberty
Fight with thy defenders! (repeat)
Under our flags, shall victory
Hurry to thy manly accents
Shall thy expiring enemies
See thy triumph and our glory
Let's protect the maintenance of our rights.
If despotism conspire,
We all will conspire to defeat the kings.
Tyrants, tremble, you are going to pay for your crimes/betrayals.
Rather death than slavery
This is the motto of the French!
Depends that of the universe.
If it is never freed from slavery,
all peoples will be in irons/chains. (Refrain.)
Come all, arm yourselves!
From the deepest shamed/vilified Europe,
March with us into the battles.
Let's chase the tyrants, let's punish them for their crimes/betrayals,
We serve the same fatherland,
Free men are/will be French (citizens).
