Americans have a particular disdain of the overt cowardice of the French, even the canuck variety.

Don't talk like an idiot. French intelligence has tipped off USA to numerous plots, big and small.

The "Freedom Fries" thing was typical chamber-of-commerce-style "boosterism".

You haven't known many French, especially French Canadians, or you'd not associate the word "cowardice" with them.

I remember on the USS Theodore Roosevelt, shortly after 9/11, we had "Freedom vanilla" in the cappuccino machine.
It's good to be open-minded, just don't let your brain fall out.

Re: What was the reasoning behind FREEDOM FRIES?
Two fold:

1) further brainwash Americans that we are free.

2) fries are patriotic American food.

Washington DC is a complete dictatorship with rigged elections and no representation. Ron Paul? 40 year career congressmen? They are ALL sold out, and have been from go.

Fries are the most unhealthy food on the planet. The fascist government wants us to eat these every day to go to their hospitals taking their drugs. There's very little nutrition in white potato. Mashed is even worse for blood sugar levels driving all types of blood disorders. Fries are the worst there is, FRIED all nutrition out soacked with toxic oils and made with HFCS solids that glycate when cooked making them even deadlier. There are reports of mercury in hfcs.

Sweet potatos by contrast have great nutrition.

Now cross your heart and sing the pledge, worship the government and constitution, one and the same.

Constitution + supreme court = no constitution

Freedom fries was a euphemism for French fries used by some conservatives in the United States as a result of anti-French sentiment in the United States during the international debate over the decision to launch the 2003 invasion of Iraq. France had expressed strong opposition in the United Nations to such an invasion. The French position was frowned upon by some in the United States, leading to campaigns for the boycotting of French goods and businesses and the removal of the country's name from products.
