Speaking as an Irish-American with family experience, in my observation there is a real nasty streak in the Irish character. Don’t know if it comes from centuries of isolation on a rocky island or the poverty from trying to farm such land; but it’s going to take generations to breed it out, if ever. Maybe the best and brightest genetic material left during the Potato Famine.

How can a supposedly Christian-heritage nation do this to Israel? I guess Biblical illiteracy went along with the rest of the cultural deprivation.

I once dated a genuine Irishman here in America. He spoke with contempt of many of the bone-headed, mule-stubborn traits, referring to his own people as either “lace-curtain” (bourgeois) or “shanty” (ignorant or poor) Irish. After hearing this from him countless times, I asked him how he referred to upper-class Irish.

“English,” he replied.

Commies have been very eager to jump in bed with the mohamidians for the past century.
