It would be safe to say that most Americans, when they hear about the elections in France on the evening news or radio broadcasts, believe that their election system is pretty much the same as ours. (Let's face it, most Americans don't even understand our own elections process.) Not so in France's "Fifth Republic"! (Here's another article which provides an alternate understanding of the system.)
An interesting insight into French culture and governance.
Here in this brief video clip, Dick Morris, on Monday, explained the way the French election system is set up and how it's far from similar to ours here in the U.S.
Yet, Glenn Beck, on Monday pointed out what the mainstream media is NOT telling viewers is going to be the result of these elections; that Europe is once again staging itself for another round of what brought Hitler to power in the 1930s. For a more clear understanding of why Glenn is saying this, I recommend reading the radio broadcast script below the video on this page. However, if you don't have time to read it all, here's a quote to give you an idea of what he's pointing out:
"Strongman and dictators are on the rise.
And we’re seeing it all over the globe. What’s happening in Venezuela is
happening in the Philippines. The scariest thing of all: It’s not the
dictators, it’s the people. The people are crying out for a dictator."
P.S. In viewing the second link provided above explaining how the elections system in France is set up, you may notice that this page also has an interesting video clip below the article about another topic; climate change. It's clear to me that our world is moving toward a huge battle between ideologies, but only time will tell who's right because the other side is defining science to match their agenda, unwilling to let go of fear and doomsday thinking, and engage in reason and rational thinking.
