There’s no one less Irish than an expat Republican

There is absolutely NOTHING like an irish COMMUNIST. Sheer self destructive lunatics who drink and fight as a genetic trait...Che Guevara was a psychopathic killer who loved shooting children-— children- in the head, blowing their brains out. Imagine the idiotic irish postal service issuing a stamp in a child murderer’s likeness. Incredible.

There is something in many Irish psyches where their entire daily existence is absolutely dependent on delusion, like they would fall apart without it. Maybe it was a defense mechanism tied to multi-generational despondency. It's a perpetual adolescence where they deny reality right in front of them, often putting a convenient focus on their "Cafeteria Catholic" version of religion as a surrogate to actually living.

It's a vision disconnect; they can look in the mirror like few others, refusing to see what's looking back at them.

I have Welsh, Irish and Scottish ancestry. Thanks to Duolingo, I'm moderately fluent in Welsh and making progress in Scots Gaelic and Irish. Duolingo is polishing my rusty skills in German from the time I passed the SAT II and oral proficiency as a graduation requirement at UCSD. I've been working on Spanish as well and made more progress than my "required" classes in junior high school. On a lark, I'm attempting Mandarin Chinese. The most challenging part is reading the sentences in the Chinese pictograms and properly pronouncing it for the voice recognition.

Look up Barak Obama plaza in Moneygall, Ireland. Had to stop there for gas and my daughter was asleep. She woke up as I was pulling in and saw the huge sign and said, “I thought we were in hell.” lol

I agree. One can certainly put on a show of devotion for any religion or even to a claim to Christianity in general. Biden’s support of abortion is a stark reminder of that.

Thisiis from the Sunday Times and it is sarcasm. Don’t you have that where you live?
