I heard a talk show host talking about the World Cup.  And he was yuck yucking about The French and the Head Butting Episode.  But then he said something that made me stop and consider. He said the French were the most liberal society out there!

Discounting Communism (which is just a despotic dictatorship anyway), he is right.

During 04, Kerry was called the "French Candidate".  Mostly for his snobbish ways.  But it stuck.  Then we had Dean that decides that all who do not believe as he does is guilty without benefit of trial or indictment.

Well, guess what?  There are 2 prevailing methods of jurisprudence in the free world (we will discount the slavers of Africa and the Communist of china and such).  One is the old English common law that our laws are based upon.  Presumption of innocence until proven Guilty.

Then there is the second oldest democracy.  One based upon Napoleonic law.  The French.  Presumption of guilt until proven innocent.  And in that the liberals are trying to implement Napoleonic laws upon America.  But then they are liberal after all, as is France.  I guess that is why I am no longer surprised.

The Perfect Liberal is French.
