Come out ye black and tans, come out and fight me like a man
Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
Tell her how the IRA made you run like hell away
From the green and lovely lanes of Killashandra

Fine, I'll be nice today.

Expect me to be fully unhinged during the anniversary of the Easter Rising.

I often post as an annoying Italian guy from NJ. Woe be to others to learn I am also an annoying Irish guy from NJ.

Happy St. Patrick’s!

So when I was a kid my dad use to recite this bit from a GK Chesterton poem every once in a while:

'For the great Gaels of Ireland are the the men that God made mad
For all their wars are happy and all their songs are sad'

Keeping in mind that Chesterton was something of a dipshit Englishman. It's not hard to figure out--basically what he was saying is that we like to fight. Generally though I think it comes down to the British state throughout the centuries have had a talent for bringing out the worst in everybody just because they were always about exploitation, intrigue, torture and murder.
