    You have a question which I suppose in your opinion is loaded and a flame bating one, but there are excellent tools to destroy loaded and flame bating questions those are: information and knowledge.

    Your link is to a hard core Republican site, of course being the "GOP in Exile" it is understandable they shed their bitterness throughout. The problem is that the GOP is getting more enemies as the days go by and they will have no right to claim fairness in the future. Does the GOP sincerely believe that no one knows why they are attacking in such a ruthless fashion? Of course we know, we know what is soon coming for the GOP & they will have to swallow it as it is of their creation and making.

    Regarding your whatever question which is an exact copy of the title in The Hill article. Here you have accurate information:

    What are France, Sweden and Germany?

    SWEDEN: a Constitutional monarchy, governed by a Prime Minister and for 100 years has been led by Social Democrats.

    GERMANY: Its official name is the Federal Republic of Germany, governed by a President and a Chancellor and has been led by a coalition of the Social Democratic Party + Christian Democratic Union.

    FRANCE: Official name French Republic, governed by a President and a Prime Minister and has been led by a coalition of the French Socialist Party + Liberal Democrats.

    Regarding the the United Kingdom: You have already receive accurate information by another user.

    The French Motto is: Liberté - Égalité - Fraternité
    Which means: Liberty - Equality - Fraternity

    Wouldn't we Americans simply love to have "Liberty - Equality - Fraternity" instead of biting at each other like hungry animals?

    All countries have gone through evolutionary periods, according to what the times demands. Only none intelligent people don't change, everyone else changes in time. Not a single country in the world can afford to remain unchanged for 200+ years as it would mean that country is old fashioned, out of touch and behind in history politically speaking of course. If this is what the GOP wants, then fine they are free to remain in the stone age if they so please. But wouldn't we be very lucky if we could be like any of the above mentioned countries? Yes we would be very lucky but also very difficult because our horrendous ignorance will not allow any change in time.

    May God bless the American people and the United States of America.

    • To East Hill: I meant no harm, I have become a bit sarcastic which I don't appreciate but unfortunately necessary. All I have said is the truth, I never comment anything but the truth. I live in Europe so I guess I know what I am talking about, believe me. Thanks for your comment.

    • Brilliantly said, it's amazing that you guys across the pond have a better understanding of smart politics than we Americans, I thought I was the only one who felt that way.
