Well, if liberals are guilty of being reflexively pro-Europe, conservatives are equally guilty of knee-jerk anti-European sentiment. So I guess that issue cancels itself out.

As for European policies supposedly failing...the Euro is a hell of a lot stronger than the dollar right now, and continues to gain strength. Some economies, such as Ireland's, are quite strong, while Britain is going through a credit crunch similar to ours. And so on. I have no idea why you are fixated on France, since liberals are not. Ranger, you oversimplify things to a fault, and seem incapable of acknowledging the complexity of things such as Eurpean economic and social policy. You might be better off bitching about something else.
