Plain talk on Obama
May 3, 2007 Americana, Jocularity, Politics and Poker
All right, I’ll admit it.
Look, Obama’s playing on being a minority group member. Well, let’s face it; he is. And let’s look at that minority, shall we?
We know what they’re all about, and so do they. Very well. Their culture openly, unabashedly celebrates who they really are. Substance abuse? Check. Violence? Infamous. Hostility to Anglo-Saxon values? Not a little — a lot. Just ask any one of ‘em and stay the hell clear.
Sure, they’ve developed their own language, put English to their own unique rhythm — but so subversive! They claim to commemorate their cultural heritage but they do it all over our streets. These folks are not going back, and they’re not really assimilating.
Yes, damn it, I will admit it. I say to hell with another Irish president!

Ah, the O’Bamas have a long and storied history at the Emerald Isle…
(The other option was to call him one of the Black Irish, and I felt that was too easy)

Yes, they still talk about what a bejayzus of a man Paddy O’Bama was.

Another black irishman ? Ok.
O’bama has been described as clean and articulate. That might be true. But is he smarter than a fifth grader ?

Well, McKiernan, you know about the Irish and brains. But my he can hoist a sack of potatoes, believe me.

You had me getting pretty ticked off for a minute there. %-)

Seriously, someone needs to hang a sign on the White House that says “No Irish Need Apply.” He can rot in the Senate with Teddy Kennedy, Mitch McConnell, and John McCain for all this Anglo-Saxon cares!

Huh boy. Watch it there Hokie.

In the interest of accuracy:
Black Irish is a traditional term believed to have originated in the United States that commonly ascribes to a dark brown or black hair phenotype appearing in Caucasian persons of Irish descent. This can be distinguished in contrast to the brown, blond or red hair color variant, the latter stereotypically perceived by many to solely personify the look of typical Irish folk.
Ed.: See here, too.

shanty irish.
