Wow, what a response from a member.

This was Paris after 9/11. It’s our turn to stand by them.

France closed it's borders. Hope it's for a long time. The whole of Europe should close it's borders to Muslim illegal immigrants.

How long will it take for our stupid European leaders to learn? Seems like the only ones with some common sense are the Eastern European countries who have said NO to all this Muslim invasion, much to the disgust of Angela Merckel & Co.

You actually find it appropriate to joke on such a tragedy?
You're an idiot.

@SirDrago I understand your strong position on this terrible bloodbath, but I don't think Iowadawg was joking. He was basically replying to a post from the previous page in reference to wine and French President Hollande.

Paris has turned off the lights on The Eiffel Tower in memory of the victims.

Reports say that it was al queda.
Other reports say it was isis.
More will come out and hopefully proof of who masterminded this attack.

The flag should never touch the ground, especially with folks standing on it to hold it down.
They should have flown it from the top of the Eiffel Tower... as its just the right size.

BTW, you righties normally mock France. So much so France issued a statement at the beginning of the U.S. Presidential campaign advising Republicans to refrain from their usual 'American Fries' type of memes.

Nonetheless, as someone with French blood, and family ties, its good to see some compassion, even if it is 'conservative', without the usual politics.

This was Paris after 9/11. It’s our turn to stand by them.

Fly another nation's flag atop their country's most notable structure? Insanity.

One of America's most recognized symbols of freedom "The statue of liberty" came from France.
But I don't care...
My post here are not to express opinion on who is who..
May God bless the fallen, my prayers and support go out to them and their families.

Sorry but I am not understanding why what France did for 9/11 wasn't enough...
I can't say I have seen the US doing the same for other countries but yet it is expected from others.

From the Eiffel Tower Souvenir Shop:

Also, there has been a U.S. Gov antenna atop the tower since 1913. Today there are over a hundred radio and Tv antennas, from corps and Govs.

The Eiffel Tower was also used as a commercial billboard for about a decade:

Besides, paying homage by cloaking national landmarks in the victimized nation's flag colors is common after such a tragedy... and its happening around the world right now.

In warfare, a flag on the ground = Defeat. A raised flag = Victory.
Beyond that, The U.S.A. has its own reasons: http://www.answers.com/Q/Why_can't_the_American_Flag_touch_the_ground

I can't say I have seen the US doing the same for other countries but yet it is expected from others.

You've got to be kidding: WWI, WWII (the liberation of France from the Nazis ring a bell?). The whole "policeman of the world" thing as the world's superpower. NATO. Biggest funder of the U.N. etc. etc.

No war involved; France was honouring and showing support and solidarity; maybe it should just be appreciated.

You totally misunderstood what I say.
Anyway, let's not try to make the US look like Mother Theresa.

I know why

This is the day after the Muslims attacked innocents in Paris.

Can someone refer me to links where Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Jordan, Egypt, Morocco, Libya, Ethiopia, CAIR, Hezbollah, Hamas or the Palestinian Authority have condemned these attacks?

Anyone see mass protests by Muslims in Greece, Germany, England, Spain, Italy, Sweden, the U.S., Denmark, Holland, Finland, etc. condemning these attacks?

 

[GILSAN]

The terrorists attacked on 7 different places in Paris

Sorry... can't find any protests anywhere. However, there are many parties going on in parts of the Arab world celebrating the Bloodbath

BLACK ACTIVISTS DOUBLE DOWN ON HATE WITH #F***PARIS HASHTAG

Amazing. Even after a bloodbath like the one in Paris, some people show absolutely no compassion. In fact, they actually show their true colors.
