As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.........
I enjoy prejudice, bias and jingoism, because without it no examples can ever be made of the realities which America is overflowing with danger of in the 21st century.
I place here a Frenchman named Gabriel Franchere. This Canadian from Montreal was from a people of France who the English had defeated in the 7 Years War and are the basis of Longfellow's Evangeline or something like that in the French of Canada all got shoved out to New Orleans in a trail of tears that Obama voters like Jeremiah Gettle of Missouri never seem to find any problems with as it is white people being harmed....
So the point is Mr. Franchere, is French. He is hired in employ of American John Jacob Astor to help found Astoria, to which the British seize Astoria in the War of 1812, and this brings the reader in the journal to the war events on the American Great Lakes at Suat St. Marie in Michigan where the following events take place.
"Mr. Frederic Goedike, who resided here, was gone to see what had taken place at Saut Ste. Marie. He returned the next day, and told us that the Americans had come, with a force of one hundred and fifty men, under the command of Major Holmes; and that after having pillaged that they all considered worth taking, of the property of the N.W. Company and that of a Mr. Johnston, they had set fire to the houses, warehouses, &c., belonging to the company and to that gentleman, and retired, without molesting any other person.
Our canoe arrived from Fort William in the evening, with that of Mr. M'Gillivray; and on the morrow we all repaired to Saut Ste. Marie, where we saw the ruins which the enemy had left. The houses, stores, and saw-mills of the company were still smoking."
Gabriel Franchere
Did you get that from the title or miss it, that here we had a Frenchman, whose people had been ravaged by English, were in perpetual hatred of the English, is in employ of Americans, under American flag, and what is his first inclination, but to CALL AMERICANS THE ENEMY.
America has a population of foreigners to the extent of 1/6th the population, and if you factor in American geezers and children, these foreigners are over 1/3rd of the population......and when it comes to war situations, they are going to be agents for the foreigners and by reaction view Americans as THE ENEMY.
Gabriel Franchere was an educated man. He was level headed, and yet one findsd frequent hateful comments blaming Americans for evil on ship, and when it came to war, it was the Americans who were the enemy, when this French speaking Frenchman was from a people who were perpetually at war with England.
When a learned Frenchman can not be rational, what do you conclude is going to be the thinking of the Mexican beaner toward Americans?
It is the latter group of "greasers" who have been robbing, raping and murdering in the American southwest for several hundred years.
.......which the enemy had left. Yes the enemy was Americans.
