Ireland also hates America - this after years of immigration to these shores in order for them to prosper rather than live in poverty. If you don’t believe me (and many Freepers don’t) check out the comment sections of the Irish newspapers as well as the Irish-American ones (The Irish Echo for instance). They’ve gone off the rails big time!
It’s funny: we Americans have this fascination and attachment to a mythical Ireland. Look at all the festivals and parades and long list of Irish-themed movies we put out.
The truth is, they are cranky and standoffish when I have visited and they don’t give a green damn if your grandmother came from there.
Well, now they can get their tourist dollars from gay couples and they can forget me and my family.
