It has long been known, that Germans, their economic role and position inside the Eurozone, and their weight, cant be ignored. Under President Sarkozy, France sought to considerably improve relations with its eastern neighbor, it tightened commercial ties, boosted trade, eliminated regulations, and most important, started a very effective, and useful system of constant dialogue between Continental Europe's strongest countries. Both Sarkozy and Merkel boasted a close friendship, they shared interests, values, and ideals, and because they did, it was easy for both countries to work fast and achieve their goals.
Since the socialist machine of Hollande reached power, the French Economy has gone from prosperous long-term prospects, to the steady decline. After having closely monitored the situation in the Eurozone, and most particularly France, i have gotten the chance to see how Hollande's policies have ruined everything Sarkozy did, and most importantly, how he has achieved nothing of which he promised. French economic outlooks are meager, unemployment is the highest in years and rising, french industries and corporations are constantly loosing presence and importance in the international arena, and relations with the rest of the world have gotten more and more stranded, this time, Socialism and its envy have chosen Angela Merkel and her success as their new prey.
It all begun with the obvious distancing in French politics from its sister Federal Republic, and recently, Hollande has appeared to be blaming Angela Merkel for every single problem that lies within the Eurozone, he and his evil-followers have classified Angela of being "egotistical intransigence" and they have called for "democratic confrontation" with Berlin, all happened, not only because they needed to shift away from internal problems, but because they thought a German financial paper, which only states the reality, was offensive towards France, as that report called France "Europe's biggest problem child".
Europe must not stand still when the French Socialist failure is jealous about the huge success and progress achieved by Ms. Merkel, they must know, that if their policies were correct and assertive, France wouldnt be expected to grow by a mere 0.1% at best, compared with Germany's minimum estimated growth of 0.5%, Hollande must instead of blaming it on outside success, put his feet on the ground, think of ideas to get all French potential and capacity at work, eliminate restrictions, ease the flow of goods, improve commercial relations with its largest economic partner, and work towards harmonizing relations with Germany, for if they cannot hold strong links with their most vital ally presently, they wont be able to sustain their international position and weight. Francois must take a look at the strong proof he has from history, as under Nicolas Sarkozy, during the worst of the recession, French GDP didnt go below -3.5% of growth, as many other European economies did, and with his responsible and smart policies, France was back on track in 2010, growing at an unprecedented, more than 1.7% for two consecutive years, until the party of ultimate failure, nationalization, corruption, and broken promises was back on power.
In order for the French Fifth Republic to continue its long history of economic success and prosperity, it must act accordingly to its position, France can no longer pretend or endure to act as the rebirth of socialism, for this would mark the final blow into the French economy and French society. Even as i have always loved France, and think of it as a country with huge potential and room for growth, i know, and i am confident, these policies of limitation, blaming on others, and revived "dirigisme" will only further increase the odds of failure. France must unite, and call on its president to revive the economy, knowing that this will only be achieved with the cooperation and connection held with Germany, a model of success.
Vive la Republique et Vive la France!

Attacks on American Lifestyle: The case for continued strength
The United States has recently been host to some of the worst atrocities, ranging from terrorist attacks in some of the most important marathons in the countries, to industrial explosions, to classroom massacres and many more. There have been a lot of people who have enjoyed American suffering and have made themselves proud by contributing to disturbing American Lifestyle and Values all throughout history, this people have from time to time, contributed to disturbances, attacks, and attempts to destabilize America and its society.
To the threats and events that have to do with terrorist attacks, there must be one strong response, no single Terrorist attack or threat, will disrupt American lifestyle, will discourage the United States from pursuing a strong Foreign Policy, or will make western society fearful. Everyone who thinks they have stroke a huge blow to American life, all of those who think the battle is over, and that the decline of the US is sure, they must know, these events, threats, and attacks only strengthen America's values, they only tighten the union between Western allies, and more important, the only thing they do, is make Americans stronger and less vulnerable to any type of attacks.
So, as mentioned, this attacks shall not disrupt the way of life or the way of thinking of Americans, and they haven't They should only encourage a stronger response from the United States, they will only continue shaping American interests around destroying terrorist and threatening organizations, and when the United States and its huge power is focused on neutralizing a threat, they have shown, cant be stopped.
As for eventualities not relating to terrorism and these types of activities, they test American courage, reactions to them portray American heroes and capacities. They will only continue to make constant improvement unstoppable, they will make more advances in science and technology more likely, and they will bring the American society one step further in the path towards a more strengthened society.
Classroom massacres, and shootings, have been of special national spotlight during the past months and the past season, they have been of wide debate, and have drown the interest of the whole nation, moreover, it has become clear that the real problem might not be with the right to bear guns and buy them, but the mentality of those who buy them and use them; that is why, the United States must be strengthened by this events and form a stronger education on the potential threat posed by guns, it must make sure everyone is provided an environment where they can express their love for weapons, but are not poised to use them against society, and its most important assets, the next generation.
The whole point of the United States, has always been about strength and determination throughout difficult and perilous times, these times, have been both perilous and difficult, and they have put at stake American lifestyle itself, that is why, those who belong to the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave, must understand that these times are not here to weaken us, or demoralize us, or even to signal us about our inevitable decline, they are here because we can handle them, because we must take the next step towards a greater society, towards a renewed America, an Strengthened one. Times like these, will always be the ones which shape our character the most, now is the time to confront them ferociously, with or without doubts, once and for all.
God bless the United States of America!
