Carr: It’s cool to be diverse, not Irish
Boston Herald ^ | September 27, 2013 | Howie Carr

Posted on 09/27/2013 8:08:22 AM PDT by ConservativeStatement

So two Irish guys finish on top in the Boston mayor’s race, and all of sudden, the Beautiful People are donning sackcloth and ashes.So much for celebrating diversity.Apparently it doesn’t matter what their politics are, all that matters is that they’re from the same “tribe.”

You read that right — that’s what the Globe said the day after the election, that Marty Walsh and John Connolly are from the same “ethnic tribe.”Somewhere, the leaders of the old Know-Nothing party are snickering. The more things change ...Then yesterday, it was more of the same. The Rev. Eugene Rivers ended his front-page piece in this newspaper by bemoaning the fact that “a white Irish man will again lead the city of Boston.”

Subsitute “Muslim” for “white Irish” — think that would have been printed?

I was in Boston during the summer and saw a vehicle with a shamrock and inside it was some union connection. On the left panel was an Elizabeth Warren sticker. On the back panel was an Elizabeth Warren sticker (yes, a second) and on the right panel was, you guessed it, an Elizabeth Warren sticker. Three. There was also a sticker for someone named "Walsh" who I gather is one of the two contenders for mayor and... get ready....Barack Obama for president. That Irish (likely) guy (likely) was a diverse. A biracial man for president, an Irish Bostonian for mayor and a fake Indian (three times) for U.S. senate.

Diversity goes out the window when Clarence thomas, Condooleeza Rice, Miguel Estrada, Ted Cruz or even Sarah Palin are the topic of discussion.

That’s a great line!

I’m Irish, and I laughed.

Apparently, this gent has never been to Nigeria, or Honduras.

Progressives are very nasty people. They are very totalitarian.

I know a Progressive and he wants Obama to dictate everything.

From what I read, a black man named Wyatt called himself a conservative and pro-life. What a wonderful message the liberals of Boston could sent by electing such a conservative to office. But liberals do not want to show that type of acceptance. And if you want to see a liberal turn red, after they discuss women and minority issues/candidates, mention West/Palin in 2016. Works every time.

diversity only further complicates the human condition

maybe excepting food and sexual conquests

it has always been but a tool to tear down white western Christian and male

no one....and I mean that literally

outside the white first world wants diversity

it has killed us quicker than outright communism ever could

sick symptom of a diseased people to forego the birthright their ancestry died for

And that's what's wrong with America since they ended the draft (not that I was for it in the first place).
Young Americans have no clue what a truly poor, evil, ugly and crooked country really looks like.
Instead, they're brainwashed in publik skools to believe that America is the evil and crooked one.

“Diversity” just means anti-White.

Believe it or not,their is some diversity in this race.
Although both are Irish Democrats,Walsh has the backing of all the major unions,while Connolly campaigned on raising the number of charter schools and no union backing at all.

“pardon me but Dixie is chock full of protestant Irish like my paternal line of Sullivans”

That fits me as well. I have multiple lines of Protestant Scots Irish ancestors going back to the Colonial era. Some left for the colonies when Cromwell stole their lands.
