"What is driving the Tea Party is fear that President Obama is changing traditional America, that the USA is becoming France, if you want to oversimplify it."
-- Bill O'Reilly, Fox News, April 19, 2010
This vast Francophile conspiracy appears unstoppable. Flip Side will prepare you for life after the Gallic coup. Tomorrow we introduce you to 300 French cheeses. Wednesday, we advise how to be svelte, dress elegantly, and call a general strike. Thursday you will learn how to construct a theory, all the way from premise to conclusion, employing impeccable logic. Friday we present The Art of Surrender, Part I.
Today is language day. Flip Side provides translations for America's core beliefs to be used after Fascist-Socialist-Obamaite-Frog-Lovers make French our official language:

L'amour, l'amour, tourjours l'amour
We Work Hard So You Won't Have To
Je suis allé à la maison hantée et on m'a fait une offre d'emploi
What's in Your Wallet. Wait a Sec ... That's MY Wallet !!!
Ça ne me dit pas grand-chose
You ONLY have the Rights You are Willing to Fight For
Vive l'acide, l'amnistie, et l'avortement
