For not wanting to be an American, you sure take A LOT of time out of your day analyzing our government and way of life. . .
FOREIGN POLICY. F.O.R.E.I.G.N. policy. I spend a lot of time ranting about Israeli governmental policies - does that mean I want to live there? lol.

btw. . . your accusing him of being a troll?? LOL you are the biggest troll on these forums!! Thats not a bad thing, its just true!!!
Trolls use insults only and don't bother with rational argument. I at least give rational argument and therefore I'm not a troll.

Hey, if you love Europe so much, then thats great!! More power to ya!! But Europe isnt free of problems, thats something I think you forget sometimes!! Adopting ONLY European policies to run the world isnt exactly a recipe for success!!
I don't think I ever said Europe doesn't have any problems.

Lastly. . .The same thing you are accusing us (Americans) Neo-Cons & Bushites about (i.e. never address the point, one side is always "right" arguments, pro American threads etc.) you engage in as well! Its not a "one side" is wrong issue, everybody on these forums does that! maybe even me sometimes lol!
This is a forum where people can come and argue points and counterpoints rationally. I find that when you get to a certain point in an argument with
some people from the rightist end of the political spectrum they just refuse oipnt blank to address a hard fact. The same is true of certain leftist members of the forum though I will concede. I just think it's more prevalent on the rightist side.

You are right, Irish Americans arent Irish!! Just like African Americans arent African!!! Bottom line is those of us who are Irish and have family that is 100% Irish like to be proud of our roots!
I think it is good for Americans to take pride in their roots and to not let go of their original heritage but we're right: a couple of generations down the line you become American, you are no longer Irish in the truest sense of the word.
