Same as it ever was - back to the Future in xenophobia

House cafeterias change names for 'french fries' and 'french toast'. This defies all logical thought. This was spearheaded by two Republican lawmakers, one who is a Representative from Ohio, Rep. Bob Ney. We are constantly amazed by the xenophobia and bigotry that this country is displaying.

Here is the situation: There is a group of countries expressing their opinions on the Iraq Situation, an opinion that many Americans disagree with. So what do some Americans do? Instead of rationally agree to disagree, they start name-calling - very mature. Most of the anger is directed to France, even though both Germany and Russia are also planning to veto any Security Council vote. As noted by eperker, "A moronic irony: Protesting France's freedom to hold opposing views by calling fries freedom." Anytime we hear people complain about the French, and their so-called military defeats, instantly their intellect is downgraded in our eyes. Why don't you become educated and research France's Real Military History, instead of sounding like an uneducated Ugly American.

So send back your French Freedom wine, rename your French Freedom Fries. However, while you are at it send back your Beer, Hamburgers, Hot Dogs, Vodka, not to mention it is time to sell those nasty BMW's and Mercedes, oh and all of those Chryslers. We don't want those nasty krauts to have any of our American money. While we are at it, lets send back the Statue of Liberty, and the and the Brooklyn Bridge. While you are doing that, we will continue to French Freedom Kiss our girlfriend, who sometimes likes to wear her hair in a French Freedom Braid, whom - along with a group of our friends tonight - will drink some French Freedom wine and maybe east some French Freedom cheese.

Let us all show the world that we Americans are as xenophobic and childish as we were during World War I and World War II and today. That will show those nasty cheese-eating surrender monkeys.
UPDATE 20030311 - Additional Information
From Yahoo! News - French Fries Get New Name in Congress:
The French Embassy in Washington had no immediate comment, except to say that french fries actually come from Belgium.
