Bill Donohue comments on the decision by New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio not to march in this year’s St. Patrick’s Day parade:
This is the first time in New York City history that its mayor has decided to boycott the St. Patrick’s Day parade. Personally, I am delighted: I lead the Catholic League contingent every year, and I do not want to march with a public official who does not want to be associated with Irish Catholics.
De Blasio says he will not march because the parade does not allow pro-gay signs. Neither does it allow pro-life ones. The great myth has always been that the parade is anti-gay: in previous years, I have gone on the radio inviting gays to march with the Catholic League, provided they do not draw attention to themselves or to some extrinsic cause. The parade is not about homosexuals, or abortion, or anything other than honoring St. Patrick.
The mayor says he won’t accede to the request by gay activists to ban city workers from marching. So kind of him—otherwise he would be looking at an insurrection.
Ping!
The Black Irish aren’t going to take this very well.
Who cares?
“The parade is not about homosexuals, or abortion, or anything other than honoring St. Patrick.”
A concept that flies right over Comrade De Blasio’s pointy little head.
What a bunghole. “Waah, waaah, I’m not going to appear in your parade cuz you’re meanies! Waaaaahhh!!!”
Probably a lot of happy people in Mudville tonight upon hearing those words!!!
The story of St. Patrick is amazing.
Too bad 99% of Irish-Americans don’t know it.
Here is a hint.
St. Patrick was not Irish.
And Ireland, at the time, the hub of the slave trade.
Good! Who wants him in the parade anyway?
Leftists always want to seize the platform - any platform - and use it for their own purpose. If you don’t capitulate, repent of your crimes, and champion their cause you are a hate monger.
DeBlasio is a posturing commie toad.
LOL! And they thought Bloomberg was bad? Welcome to comrade de Blasio aka Warren Wilhelm boys and girls. Expect Catholicism to be banned next. Him and comrade Cuomo have already stated that if you do not agree with their politics they do not want you in THEIR state.
“The parade is not about homosexuals, or abortion, or anything other than honoring St. Patrick.”
The parade is about money and gay activists have much more than most socioeconomic groups. Mayors always promote arts & theaters as a cynical lure of a lucrative ratable tax base. Please, Rudy, don’t show up in drag again.

He was Wilhelm (german/dutch?) who changed his name three times to now a fake Italian. Is he going to cover the Five Points with each new name change? What will the last one be? Antoine Jackson?
Patrick Doesn’t Fitzgerald PING
DeBlasio is a posturing commie toad.
And they bought it ... 400! years later?
Bet he'll be fist deep into to the homo pride parade...jus' sayin';^)>
St Patrick was a slave in Ireland. He was freed and went back to England. He returned to Ireland in order to convert the Irish, whom he had grown to love, to christianity (Catholicism).
He kept Jesus very close, he suffered greatly.
The Irish, therefore, and from then, have been very blessed
The Irish have a tremendous devotion to the Blessed Mother. The enemy hates her
Deblasio won’t go near this. Drunken brawls or royal ancient Hibernian men’s clubs or no, this is a catholic feast. How can one tell? All are welcome. Certainly the gays as well. Just don’t talk about it. There are pre adolescents in the bacon itt. And we hold them and their formation
sacred
How else can you tell? Evil people won’t come near but they’ll be deceptive about the reason
Sigh. Vacinity translates to bacon itt on my little
Machine here
Someone needs to vigorously introduce an educational (and I suppose necessarily metaphorical.....sighhhhh.....) shillelagh upside this guy's malfunctioning head (in a caring, Christian way, of course).
