To "Saint" Patrick: Imeacht gan teacht ort

As we enter into Saint Patty's day, the Irish side of me leaves you with this thought:

A real man of Eire rues the day that Patrick brought jewish Mythology to the Emerald Isle.

http://www.edwardtbabinski.us/essays/st_patrick.html

"If Christianity is St. Patrick's "gift" to Ireland, the noted saint should be burned in effigy by every self-respecting Hibernian. What he brought to Ireland was the hang-over of an abominable superstition, hatched in ancient Israel by an insufferable tribe of Bedouin barbarians, whose culture for the most part, as measured even by the standards of the time, was abysmally low."

"How different might have been the history of Ireland if St. Patrick's "gift" had come from the pagan world, with its rich treasures of literature and learning. The classical culture of the Greek and Roman civilizations, with its love of knowledge and inquiry, its appreciation of art and drama, its unsurpassable glorification of wisdom and intellectual liberty would have raised the Emerald Isle to something less pathetic than a broken reed among the nations of the world. Intellectually pauperized, Ireland has suffered more from her venal priesthood and groveling superstition than from her plagues and famines."

You've got Irish in you? Well, then...

May the winds of fortune sail you,
May you sail a gentle sea.
May it always be the other guy
who says, "this drink's on me."
- an Irish toast

Sláinte!

- from your friendly neighborhood Scots-Irish/British Polish Jewish American. :)

Cheers! I'm half Irish and Half Native American, which means I always appreciate the chance to get a drink from a friend. :)

Heya Fade...guess who stopped by my blog and left a comment? A stupid one at that? That big ol' gay porn star/right wing hack Cpl Matt Sanchez.

"Are you fucking KIDDING ME!?

Fade, I knew there was a reason I liked you!
Well, that and being a Liberal in Lubbock.
Were there any anti-war protests up your way? Probably a silly question.

What the Hell ever, cavey. What is it with your fixation with Mecca and bending over. Did some Middle Eastern guy leave you at the altar or what?

And you better believe I don't surrender. 4 brothers too. I was told as a child that If they find out I come home from school and they heard I backed down from a fight I would get my ass kicked ten times as bad when I got home.

Making someone ELSE (our troops) stand up and die for you is not bravery on YOUR part, Caveman. It's the worst sort of cowardice. Standing up for what you believe in is the Bravest thing you can do in this country. And I believe that our sons and daughters are dying in Iraq so some rich Halliburton asshole like you can buy a summer home while he sits at home and tries to PREVENT our troops from Redeploying back home.

Quit being such a coward and helping Corporations use our soldiers for their dirty profits. Support the troops. Bring them home.

and PTC- fucker!
