Thoughts for St. Patrick’s Day

The joke about Mexico is that it’s “so close to the US, so far from God.”

Replace the saying with Ireland and the UK and multiply the consequences 1,000 times and you’ve got the last 1,000 years of Irish history.

The majority of normal people of the UK support Ireland as an independent country. Of course, what normal people and what elites want are two different things.

One thing to reflect on: How many Irish Americans are there in the US? The number surely numbers in the tens of millions.

Yet, how many know the even first thing about the details of the ongoing depredations of the UK in Ireland? Now that’s a first class job of propaganda and thought control. Hats off to the British on that one.

Note: Lennon and McCartney, two of the greatest songwriters in the history of the English language, were Irish.

Just because they were born in Liverpool (the great slave port and staging ground for invasion and subjugation of Ireland), does not make them English.

Many of the best writers in the English language were Irish: Jonathan Swift; W.B. Yeats; Oscar Wilde; James Joyce; Samuel Beckett; and G.B. Shaw

Lyrics.

Give ireland back to the irish
Dont make them have to take it away
Give ireland back to the irish
Make ireland irish today
Great britian you are tremendous
And nobody knows like me
But really what are you doin
In the land across the sea

Tell me how would you like it
If on your way to work
You were stopped by irish soliders
Would you lie down do nothing
Would you give in, or go berserk

Give ireland back to the irish
Dont make them have to take it away
Give ireland back to the irish
Make ireland irish today

Great britian and all the people
Say that all people must be free
Meanwhile back in ireland
Theres a man who looks like me

And he dreams of God and country
And hes feeling really bad
And hes sitting in a prison
Should he lie down do nothing
Should give in or go mad

Give ireland back to the irish
Dont make them have to take it away
Give ireland back to the irish
Make ireland irish today

Give ireland back to the irish
Dont make them have to take it away
Give ireland back to the irish
Make ireland irish today
