Tuesday Open Thread: Ireland Edition

I hear D.C. is the new western Mecca

And may God ever bless Ireland.

Send a few to Haiti too! They need health care bad!

No. That would be Dearborn, Michigan.

Van Morrison and wife welcome their baby boy

For the open thread, there is some interesting news this morning pertaining to the semi exploding Nigerian that tried to blow up the airliner on Christmas Day.

Barrack Hussein Obama is not keeping US safe. He has failed to protect US, and uphold his vows, to protect the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic. The FBI is failing US also. The ship of State is aimlessly adrift in stormy seas. If Obama had any honour, he would resign.

1119 days left in Obama term. Just thought you'd like to know.

Awww whose counting
The ":One" will pull a Chavez and install himself for life

THIS IS HILARIOUS!
The two goobers that aided the Nigerian terrorist, were released from Gitmo in 2007, after having gone through an intensive "art rehabilitation" programme, complete with crayons and watercolors. Am I hearing this news right? This is OUR tax dollars at work, to rehabilitate these mutts with art.

WTF!
WTF!????????????

2010, 35 states seceed from the federal islamic government led by Caliph Bur'aq al Obummer. They take the name The United States of America after Bur'aq renames the Left Coast, the Caliphate of Obama.

How I wish we could boot Caulifornicate, Assachusettes, NY, NJ, Oregon, Washington State, MI, and especially, DC.

…."The two goobers that aided the Nigerian terrorist, were released from Gitmo in 2007,"
That is a suprise how ?
I bet they voted for Obama Hussein Absentee and contributed to his campaign

They sure make a good argument AGAINST the "catch and release" program.
Hunting is simple, shoot them, and gut them and tag them.

This isn't a juvenille fishing derby.

Cowboy Logic
You can not be suggesting that we keep Gitmo open, can you?

I read the same article last night and had pretty much the same reaction. The latest underwear bomber will probably get to "rehabilitate himself" working with Czar Jennings illustrating how not to put explosives near your nutz. Unbelievable.

Don't forget Free HealthCare and Carbon Credits

ThinkRight
I hear rumors of these 'internment camps' but noting more….do you have information?

Sometimes, the simple things, still work the best.

At the time of the French Revoloution, the old French gal said "let them eat cake".

I say, LET THEM EAT PORK.
And be buried alive with it.

Sorry.
Mmm, mmm, mmm!
oola obongo, oola obongo, oola obongo!

Now I'm waiting for the witch doktor to show up, shake some chiucken bones, and take away my free healthcare for being so disrespectful of Borat.

I think it’s just terrible that Barry was disturbed on vacation in Crawford… woops…I mean Hawaii. If that damned terrorist attack wasn’t bad enough, some kid in the presidential surfing party got hit with a surfing board and required a few stitches, they of coarse used a presidential motorcade to rush the kid to the hospital, “it’s good to be king.” Everyone should back off, it’s tough business screwing America, and Barry needs to decompress to prepare for Amnesty, Card Check, Cap-n-Trade 2010 is gonna be busy, so …shhhhhh…

This country is what it is, period! "It was cursed when it came in and will be cursed when it goes out"! That is what Scripture says and all the evidence definitely points that way! Our "important founding fathers belonged to the "secret" society of Masons e.g., George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Jon Adams, etc. and they needed Illuminati member (A secret New World Order Society) to make this country work! Watch the history channel. For instance, there are more Masonite symbols in Washington DC than in any other city in the world! It is more than probable that these sacred societies worshiped Lucifer, the rightful messiah!???

Victor, dude what are you smoking?

I was thinking the same thing
I was looking for the sarc tag

Thanks, ThinkRight…..I feel better already!

Wiping the coffee off my keyboard again … how about a warning in the future?

Now the true story of Obama's press conference can finally be told:

GOLFOCALYPSE NOW!

http://naturalfake.wordpress.com/2009/12/29/golfo...

This is why Obama keeps his friends close and his enemies closer. He becomes the lesser of three evils!

So Gitmo didn't work? Suprise…

The Geometries that the Masons use are derived from the Great Pyramid, ok. This structure is also called A Bible in Stone". It is highly likely, that Enoch, the 7th from Adam had a hand in building it. It is built on the Prime #, #5, which is the biblical # for Grace. The Structures kind of points the way to Jesus Christ, who was the 77th man from Adam.This monument is in the scriptures, hwever it has to be "pieced together" like a puzzle. The teaching and philosphy behind it, or within it is in Great Conflict with the Gentiles Monument, listed in the Bk of Daniel which is built on the #6. The masons make a huge error, when developing their Geometry of Life, which is True by the Way. The have removed a line from the Pyramid of Truth and it ought not to have been removed in the 1st place…Their geometry is that of Adam, After His Downfall!..But, the Geometry of Life as they develop it, says that they are removed from God, and in addition leave out the portions of soul and spirit…

@Mama Maria
The Republic of Ireland does have a socialized health system but it is not universal. There are several private insurance companies who charge moderate fees and very many ordinary middle class people have private health plans that prove very satisfactory.

You're basically on an anti-Fianna Fáil* rant here, a party for which the designation "aristocratic" is too fatuous to merit a response. If FF is controlled by "wealthy elites" at least – and at last – they're our own home-grown wealthy elites for a change. How becoming the 51st state of the Union with a Democratic and Republican duopoly (stinkingly wealthy elites, anyone?) would improve that aspect of our supposed woes is something you don't mention.

The economy, like that of the US, is in recession and with the dramatic fall-off of tax revenues the public debt has ballooned. The government has raised taxes and made severe cuts in expenditure as well as significant cuts in public employees wages and in social welfare payouts across the board. A correct and courageous approach almost unique in a modern social democratic state. (California could learn a thing or two from us.) I would have thought that your apparent libertarian predilections would have induced you to approve at least the latter action.

The Government that you're so eager to see the back of is the same in essence that presided over the Celtic Tiger miracle of the past 15 years where those of us who actually live in Ireland experienced a rise in our standard of living quite unprecedented in our sad and sorry history. There is no doubt that this phenomenal economic expansion would not have occurred under any opposition government dominated, as it would be, in policy matters, if not numerically, by the Labour Party whose leader, Éamonn Gilmore, was a member in a previous incarnation of the avowedly Marxist Democratic Left aka Workers' Party before the latter amalgamated with (some would say subsumed) the old Labour Party.

Only someone who has not endured the ineptitude and muddleheadedness of the various opposition parties when they have gained power would wish to give them the reins in such parlous times as these. Indeed said opposition is far more socialistic than Fianna Fáil (whose greatest sin in the eyes of our liberal media is that they are pro-business) and far more committed to social welfare doles and social engineering fantasies than the present administration ever was or ever will be.

As for Brian Lenihan he may have "inherited" his seat in the sense that he comes from a political dynasty but so did Winston Churchill – a very great hero to Americans of late. As did Robert Kennedy and Teddy. And George W. and Jeb. And Mitt Romney. And Hillary Clinton etc, etc. It goes with any political territory and doesn't reflect on the competence nor integrity of any given politician. By their deeds and their deeds alone can ye know them.

How the leak concerning Mr. Lenihan's health is related to the "government owning the records" is a mystery, especially since he had booked himself into a private clinic for the tests which ended in such bad news. Perhaps he being such a prominent public figure meant that even non-governmental record keepers gossiped. Just saying.

Brian Lenihan is a fine upstanding individual and an excellent politician. His work as Finance Minister has been both sagacious and extraordinarily courageous. I can only conclude that your animosity towards him is based on listening to the vicious Left Wing media – which would be anti-Fianna Fáil to their backbone if they had any – that dominates Ireland in a way inconceivable in the US.

Brian Lenihan is 50 years old and has been struck with a most lethal disease. Our thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family. Go gcumhdaí Dia é!

*a centre right, pro-business party of Irish Republican origins and nationalist philosophy and instincts, founded by Éamon De Valera in 1926 and the party which has garnered a plurality of the votes in every election since 1932.

And may God please continue to bless the United States of America and save us from this takeover.

LOL!

/sarc=sarcastic and way over the top

Thnx.

Handling problems the Obama way
HONOLULU — There is a sense of déjà vu in the Obama administration’s response to the attempted terrorist attack on Christmas Day. A by-now familiar pattern has been established for dealing with unexpected problems.
First, White House aides downplay the notion that something may have gone wrong on their part. While staying out of the spotlight, the president conveys his efforts to address the situation and his feelings about it through administration officials. After a few days, the White House concedes on the issue, and perhaps Barack Obama even steps out to address it.

As far as we Irish go, the Good Lord gave us whiskey to keep us from taking over the earth. Think about it: how many Americans are part-Irish (or more, like myself)? We make up more of the US than anyone except German descendents. If we ever struck a bargain with the German ones, we'd take over the whole country. But whiskey is more important than politics

OBAMA WATCH CENTRAL
Obama gives foreign cops new police powers in U.S.
Sovereignty apparently set aside as agency exempted from law.

he catches them on fire.

According to the POTUS, The Underwear Bomber ALEDGEDLY did this.
He is innocent until the plane actually blows up.

I will look for the Monster dot com job posting for the government internment workers

Wow, WND? Are you a birther too?

Who released them? Wasn't it some guy named Bush? The guy who kept us safe for 7 years and 4 months. I thought he knew how to deal with terrorist types.

Actually, that would be wonderful. Leave all the hick states to the dopes and right-wing yips.

Wow just when I thought some Leftist freaks were crazy here comes Vic prophisizing. Dude…seriously go seek help. You have a screw loose. You to Gregory.

One of the greatest trips of my life was to Dingle Ireland and Waterford and Dublin. A bar in Dingle inhabited by the locals has a photo of Michael Collins on one side and a Eamon Devolara on the other side. Like to have been a fly on the wall for a few political debates in that place.

Éamon De Valera – a socialist!!! Fianna Fáil – socialist!!! Thanks, I needn't a bellylaugh. Dev fought the scoialists tooth and nail and has been endlessly excoriated by the liberal "intellectuals" ad nauseam ad infinitum for it.

BTW, Fianna Fáil led by De Valera or anybody else never "imposed" anything on Ireland. Any FF government was chosen democratically by the people in many free and open elections since 1932.

The only government that was not elected to office was the Fine Gael/Labour Coalition (1994-1996) which Mary Robinson (then President) installed when the FF government resigned. She refused to dissolve the Dáil (parliament) – the first and only time a President has done so – and used to opportunity to smuggle her Labour Party and their FG fellow-travelers cronies back to power without the benefit of an election, an act of malfeasance which the media covered up because of their desire to carry water for a feminist socialist icon – Can you think of any comparison closer to home?
