During the week I had this exchange
with my friend Sean, an Irish-American handball player
- Did you know the Mayor of NY is refusing to walk in th St pat's Day parade?
- Why?
- It's gay rights. They will allow gays march but not with a separate banner
- Is Mayor de Blasio gay?
- No, but his wife used to be.
- Is his wife a guy?
That just about summarizes the
absurdity of this situation Mayor de Blasio is now lame-duck, has
lost the support of his security apparatus who of course insisted
on wearing their uniforms in the city they serve with pride, and
there is a good chance de Blasio will not serve out his term. Surely
his wife's conversion to heterosexuality should have given him pause,
and suggests that sexuality is a spectrum that should not involve
inflicting banners on oneself in the media glare as one searches for one's identity.
This is not the first time that US
Democrats have used the gay community against the Irish; similarly,
the imagined “right” for the normative practise of marriage is
tearing apart the government coalition in Ireland. The SF Irish were
not even allowed get their side of the story out about the ethnic
cleansing of their neighborhood pre-1975 by the gays due to the disgraceful Dan White
incident in the late 1970's.
In 2012, we forced the resignation of
the US ambassador to Ireland, after his visa chief Bradley Wilde of
the mysterious “diplomatic security services” was found actively
involved in a campaign to effectively derecognize Ireland. He did
this by refusing automatic entry to diplomats, “losing” Irish
passports in the embassy, and indeed on at least one occasion
insisting on interviewing a female minor without her parents present.
It is doubtful that diplomatic immunity covers the last action in
particular. Wilde too was forced to resign.
This follows Tim Geithner insisting on
Ireland carrying the world's sin of debt in 2010 and Bill Clinton
forcing us into the 1998 “agreement” which lost us not just the 6
counties, but the entire island as the notion of a national territory
was expunged.
The good news is that the AOH have
stood up to the bullies like de Blasio and “bed, bath” etc. The
bad news is that our traitorous head of foreign affairs, Eamon Gilmore, is angling for a UN job instead of protecting our rights.
While in opposition, as wikileaks showed, he briefed the US embassy
about even the inner workings of his own party.
De Blasio, Gilmore etc; we Irish have
seen off far tougher people than you. Even at Ireland's nadir in
2012, 34.1 million US citizens gave their ethnicity as Irish (as
distinct from the 5 million for the abortive NI state). While the
Jews may “own” America, the Irish ( with the chair of the Joint
chiefs, the head of the CIA, and the UN ambassador all being Irish)
can certainly claim to run it.
The notion that we will put up for much
longer paying back a “debt” on E100 billion that we never
incurred on an island that is now only a “territory” (a la Ca and
Co pre-federation) and tolerate massive immigration to Ireland while
our own kids are forced out of Ireland into undocumented status in
the USA, which we run, is absurd. Hillary Clinton, Bradley Wilde was
your fault; be warned. In fact, while the Republicans would win Wyoming with or without the Irish, the Democrats' chance of even one senate seat nationally would approach zero if their recent actions against Ireland were publicized.
