French fries axed over Iraq stance

A fast food restaurant in North Carolina has renamed its french fries in protest at the French stance on Iraq.

Neal Rowland, the owner of Cubbie's restaurant in Beaufort, said he now serves freedom fries.

He says he isn't doing it to offend French people but as a show of support for the President Bush and US trooops.

A sign in the restaurant's window says: "Because of Cubbie's support for our troops, we no longer serve french fries. We now serve freedom fries."

Neal said: "It's our way of showing our patriotic pride."

He said the switch from french fries to freedom fries came to mind after a conversation about World War I when anti-German sentiment prompted Americans to rename foods like sauerkraut and frankfurter to liberty cabbage and hot dog.

Would drinking wine now be outlawed, or can you only do it if you pretend it's American wine? Cause I don't think that'd taste half as well

A) French fries and toast are actually Belgian, but I guess that isn't much better

B) What do we call French kissing now?

Stop trying to divide us. We are all Americans.

Expressing regional rivalry isn't being unpatriotic.

We all have very different ideas of what America should be. While there are some diamonds in the rough, the South is the most backward-ass, Bible-thumping, poorly educated, conservative region of the country. The differences started with the Civil War and continue today. The South lags behind.

So, jugding by your own point of view, you must be from Mobile Alabama.

So it is safe to say that with a few exceptions, the North is the most forward thinking, none-Bible-thumping, most educated, liberal region of the country. The North is more elite.

but it is fair to say that the north has kept the south that way, i mean, look at gilded age politics for example.

as for freedom fries, its no different than what we did in ww1 and ww2. hot dogs used to be frankfurters, weiner dogs were commonly dachshunds, etc. etc.

I have too much of a headache to keep with the North versus South thing at the moment.

As for for your other comment, we're not at war with France. Some of us are just acting like whiny little bitches because France and many other nations aren't dropping their undies and grabbing their ankles when we tell them to. It's probably because they don't want to catch the dumbass STD that is seemingly running rampant in the United States. Good for them. I hope they're rolling their eyes at America right now.
