I'm part English and part Irish. I wanted to go hunting in Ireland this year but after I read what the Irish were saying about us, I cancelled the trip. They didn't see about ten grand of my money, and I won't be buying any hunt horses from them, either. Other American tourists who don't want to be subjected to anti-American abuse have done the same.

Sorry, Ireland, but you folks are the ones who are being arrogant. You propose to tell us what our bearing toward the world should be, but you do not have to deal with foreign entities coming into your country and killing thousands of your citizens. It is not your economy that has been decimated by attack.

The Islamofascists are our Cromwell. You hated, feared, and fought Cromwell when he attacked Ireland, so how can you not understand that we would fight the same thing here? Or have you forgotten your own history?

You *read* what the Irish were saying about you.

You OBVIOUSLY don't read the Irish Independent, or the Sunday Independent.

Should I add you to my Irish ping list?

You talk about spending money in Ireland, but haven't (a) bothered yer arse to come and see what the people on the ground think? (b) read the reputable newspapers.

Guess you should buy your horses in Texas, where the Dixie Chicks come from.

Jesus wept!
