Most of the Irish people have total libtard political views and are quite anti-American. The warmth shown to tourists is a facade. Most of my cousins don’t speak to me anymore, especially since last year’s election. I have had to take a few of them to school and they didn’t like it. They have an inflated sense of moral superiority mixed in with a healthy dose of arrogance. Good times are had by all when we go for a visit. I’m the arrogant American mouthy woman relative who drives them around the bend because I speak my mind. It is so sad to see the severe leftist ideology that infests Ireland.
They never used to be like that. The ideology of many of the politicians after independence was not as far left, although there were a lot of communists in the wars of independence and civil war; but the big change seems to have come with the European Union.
Ireland has not been a sovereign nation since 1972. The Third Amendment, which was created to formalize the joining with the EEC (now the EU), puts European law supreme over Irish law.
