Marie-Christine Blandin
Wants to change lyrics of the Marseillaise
(May have caused the murder of British soldier in London by two Muslim killers)
The Young Blonde of YouTube is a young French lady who has had a couple of previous posts taken down because she speaks out against the Islamist outrages occurring in her country. In this latest, she takes on a different subject. It seems a dopey French Green Party politician, Marie-Christine Blandin, has suggested that the lyrics of the Marseillaise be changed from their warlike tone to something more pacific. This politician has reportedly suggested that the bloody lyrics of the national anthem may have contributed to the recent bloody attacks in England (like the Lee Rigby murder).
"That's rich."
Anyway, our heroine in the video goes on to explain that perhaps the Brits could do something about the obscene rap lyrics that poke hatred at the French.
As the reader will note, I have often poked fun at the Marseillaise for its dopey lyrics, but I have never been dopey enough to suggest they had any causal effect to violence in the UK. Though I take no sides in the historical antipathy between the French and the Brits, I do sympathize with the Young Blonde's anger at the quoted British lyrics.
Vive La France (pour Aujourd'oui)
Besides, the French are now the leaders of the Free World.
Long may it wave
(I'll spare you the lyrics of the Marseillaise today.)
I love the Marsaillaise, also John Brown's Body and the Internationale. Wouldn't change a word. Stupid Greens.
ReplyDeleteThis "Blonde of You Tube" understands the essence of the problem... the thread that is common in both England and France. It is that intent of the foreigners to impose their will on the indigenous people by both violent and undercover methods.
ReplyDeleteI can understand the French caving in but the Brits stood up to a lot worse in WWII on their own for a long time. I wonder where the soccer "hooligans" are that are so destructive that they were banned from some games on the continent. How can THEY allow the Muslims to get away with this, in their own country?
We have reasons that such outrages are allowed here now ... Obama, Holder, Jarrett, et. al.

The Internationale?? Personally, I like the Stones, The Who, and the Beagles, among many others, much better.
ReplyDeleteBetter a hippie than a socialist/"commonist", but by just how much I don't know.
