Lou Dobbs Finally Takes On The Irish
The great . If only there head been men like him here during the potato famine so that he could have turned the boats away from Ellis Island. Now, unlike me Mr. Dobbs has nothing against the Irish. His problem is with ethnic holidays. Still his point makes a lot of sense. What gave the Irish the right to have their own day? Why don’t the Jews have any Saints days? Lou Dobbs is even against Saint Columbus Day.
My main problem with St. Patrick’s Day is that the Irish are drinkers and since they’re Catholic they don’t use birth control. As a result every December comes a new Mary Elizabeth or Patrick John out into the world with no discernible skills and ties to big labor. What Mr. Dobbs has called for is a day for us to celebrate the fact that there isn’t one iota of difference among any of us, I mean except Mexicans of course. He would like an American Day and I agree. We need a day not to celebrate a bunch of drunken Irish, but to celebrate what it truly means to be an American on non-Mexican origin. I for one like the sound of that.
I think Lou Dobbs should give his talk someplace like – oh, Kitty O’Shea’s in Boston. Just to see what reaction would be like in a real world environment.
