It interests me who will be voting which way in Ireland's second Lisbon Treaty vote. This can be investigated by looking at the posters for 'yes' and 'no' votes...
Here's a 'no' vote poster, clearly appealing to Ireland's struggles over the generations:
And here's a 'yes' poster, targeted instead at the fluoride headed idiots:
It's odd because the only thing to be 'enlarged' by Lisbon is the EU bureaucracy's control over everyday peoples' lives. But the people that poster is supposed to appeal to are too dumb to figure that out anyway. Vote Yes, for a dumber world!
Okay, looking past the disturbing, EU-underwear poster, huzzah for the Irish! Erin go Bragh!
ReplyDeleteI'm actually 1/4th Irish, and have a great affection for their culture. I've been told by a relative, who was an Irishwoman, that I have "the map of Ireland" on my face.
I think I deviate from the cultural norm in that I'm not Catholic. Anti-Catholic, really; oddly enough, every one of my ancestors was a die hard Catholic.
Anyway, keep it up, my Celtic brethren!
You too, AdamS, you, too, are a brother.
I'm English to some degree; perhaps that's where I get my affinity for tea. Though, my American blood shows through in the fact that I drink it cold and sweetened.
Thank you Son3!
ReplyDeleteI've always maintained that the American Revolution wasn't Americans fighting Brits but the culmination of what started on these shores with the Magna Carta, English Bill of Rights, and Common Law.
It's just that you were more capable of turning the concepts of liberty into reality than we were ;)
Maybe if we had a selfless George Washington in place of tyrant Oliver Cromwell during our Civil War the outcome might have been different.
