“You don’t see us Italians celebrate Columbus Day with fudgers.”

Of course not. Not after Chris raped a whole continent!

I’m teasing.

The schools here refuse to celebrate Columbus Day because of all the PC hype of what allegedly happened - man crosses into the unknown with three leaky boats, somewhat akin to blasting off into space at random with only a ham sandwich, all to rape and pillage. Give me a break. Though they refuse to dismiss school for Columbus Day, they always take the following Friday off as an administration day probably because the teacher’s union won’t give up a paid holiday, even on principal. Activism has its limits.

Legend says St. Patrick drove all the snakes out of Ireland. From Heaven may he intercede before our Lord so that the Ancient Serpent, the cunning Tempter, may be be driven away from those responsible for letting these groups into the parade and for those of the homosexual orientation marching in the parade itself.

“Now the serpent was the most cunning of all the animals that The Lord God had made. ... Then the eyes of both of them were opened ...”
-Genesis 3:1,7

“The huge dragon, the ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, who deceived the whole world ...” -Revelation 12:9

“Satan masquerades as an angel of light.” -2 Cor 11:14

“Immediately things like scales fell from his eyes and he regained his sight. He got up ...” - Acts 9:18

Put them in their preferred position - in the rear.

But Brian Mahoney commands the council now, and he's shrugging off questions about sexual orientation.

We'll see how the Parade is received in SB next week. Their schools were destroyed by the forced federal school busing in the '70s. But there's been a lot of changes with upscale housing etc. since then.

Here’s hoping.......

Heavy rain, snow will hit parts of New England during St. Patrick’s Day weekend, with very large snowflakes possible at Southie parade.

They do the same here. Brain-dead leftards refuse to celebrate it but when we hold the annual festival in downtown, they bring their kids like it’s the 4th of July. Besides, those savages had it coming.(s/) Who got the raw deal here anyways? They get land, casinos and don’t pay taxes...

The beer companies Sam Adams and Guiness were protesters due to no gay themes last year. I now protest Sam Adams and
Guiness, though I would buy a case if I could ram it up their posteriors.

A spoon full of sewage sludge can contaminate a 55 gallon drum of clean water.

St Patrick does not need this foul mess on that day.

St. Patty’s Day has gone from being about snakes to being about penises. Weird stuff.

Can someone tell me what homosexuality has to do with being Irish and why such groups should be given a platform at a St. Patrick’s day parade? CAN THEY NOT JUST wear green, hang out on floats and drink beer with the rest of them without bringing their sexuality into it?????

I always heard that an Irish homosexual was any man who loves women more than he loves whiskey.

Of course, coming from Chicago, we never told Irish jokes. We elected them.
