Little more info to boycott the frogs>> For those who are not happy with the France's position We lived in California for awhile and we know the French own a lot of land and farms there, never knew that the Irish whiskeys were owned by Frogs: For those who are not happy with the France's position Join the "Boycott France" Campaign Please review this list of major French companies that Americans should boycott. Please forward this e-mail to as many friends and family as possible. NewsMax.com is leading the Boycott France campaign because American lives and security are at stake. France has every right to disagree with America. But France has moved from simple dissent to active hostility toward America. French President Chirac warned East European nations that if they side with America, France will oppose their membership in the European Union. This week, William Safire reported in the New York Times that France has been secretly helping to arm Iraq -- and has been helping Iraq build long range missiles. These same missiles may soon be used against American soldiers. Just as France is exercising its right to disagree, Americans can exercise their right to boycott -- and avoid helping companies and countries that do no stand with America.

<< Of course the Fed will eventually be forced to hike rates to try to stem the capital flight from the US. >> Oh..... now you are trying to switch tunes. Instead of calling for more Americans dead on the battle field, you are trying to show that your brain is functioning? So, Baldur Fjölnisson has a brain afterall. It may be defective, but at least Baldur Fjölnisson can quote some of the basics he learned in school. Interest rates will go up, eventually, Baldur Fjölnisson says. Shove your opinion AND your antiAmericanism!
