I agree with
Matt Welch that Le Pen's success in France could actually be a good thing. In my
earlier post I said that we can usually ignore our country's Inner Freeper. Ignore was a poor word choice. I should have said something more along the lines of "avoid confronting." But, being forced to confront your dark side is probably a good thing. France, much like the US, is very good at ignoring the ugly parts of their culture, so maybe a little reality check is appropriate.
