Talk about anything and everything national, local, or around the world as you please... SHORT AND CONCISE

In honor of my 50% Irish blood (meaning Irish-American in my belief), I've come across some awesome history...


Here's the Irish-American population today.



Good advice for any government today:

"Now I wonder what's the reason that the fortune-favored few... they rule us, yet we may not earn a living in their land."


"...O to their sister country, how can they bread deny?"


"...By sending forth this cruel line, "No Irish may apply."




American Presidents of the United States have consecutively had Irish descent since John F. Kennedy was elected in 1961. And not to mention, the President of the Confederate States of America was Iriah-descendant Jefferson Davis.


Plastic Paddy = "non-Irish nationals who harbour a nostalgic claim of 'Irishness' due to having Irish heritage."
