As someone with Irish roots, I take St. Patrick's Day very seriously.  The truth is, I've always loved the allure of the Irish.  The country, the people, the accent, the humor, the music, the food...all have such a rich history. Heck, I even like Irish Spring Soap. Altho...

The Italians were all gangsters, Jews were money-grubbing bankers, blacks were lazy and uneducated and the Irish were all drunks.

Today's generation believes the only way they will live the American Dream is winning a lottery or getting a big inheritance.

Researchers at Irishcentral.com have been investigating the 2010 census trying to find the most Irish city in America.

I know people have been brainwashed to think politically correct but keep in mind it was originally an insult to people being referred to in hyphenated form.

St. Patrick (AD 385-461) is the most recognized patron saint of Ireland and St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated as the “Feast of St. Patrick.”

The United States of America was created and built by immigrants. No one can dispute that.

The practice of referring to immigrants as “hyphenated Americans” began in 1896 as a derogatory way to describe ethnic Europeans, with a perceived allegiance to common enemies of the United States.

If you’re “celebrating” St. Patrick’s day by simply donning your favorite green t-shirt, you’re doing it wrong. Do it right this year: parade through the streets, pack your bags for Dublin, get pelted by the contents of the grocery store’s produce section, or even run a marathon.
