French is Now the Official Language of the Democratic Party

The French are known for, and proud of, the "barricade tradition" and protests. Students and unions in France often call for general strikes to cripple the country whenever their bread is stale or the dryer didn't quite get their socks dry enough. The Democrats appear to have adopted this tradition whole-heartedly. First, the Wisconsin Democrats fled the state to avoid a vote on provisions limiting the bargaining power of public employee unions. Then, Democrats fleed from Indiana (strangely apparently vacationing with the Wisconsin Democrats) to avoid a right to work bill that would prevent unions from forcing employees in certain occupations to join and pay dues (notice the theme of group rights (union) over individual rights (employee)). Now, nearly a year later, Iowa Democrats have decided not to stay in Iowa to avoid a vote on two bills, one which would enshrine the language of the Second Amendment in the State Constitution (GASP!!!!) and allow people to use guns in defense of mortal threat and violent felonies (FOR SHAME!!!!) (strangely, being against these concepts fits right in with the French tradition of gun ownership being only for criminals and elites).

So I say, "Vive, les stupides!" It makes me wonder why liberals got upset when Congressman Alan West (R. Fla.) said they could take their message outside the United States. It seems in keeping with their traditions at this point. I'm almost giddy at the thought of a Republican Congress resulting in former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D. Cal.) threatening to leave the United States to block legislation.
