GOP House Chairman again attacks Irish over Che Guevara statue

Celebrity Booby, Sectarian Politics, Cabinet Ministers, Years of Plenty and Years of Famine, Come and Go; But an Ideal, can be the envy, of Time Itself !

Gerry McLoughlin was a great rugby player but he is the idiot mayor of Limerick. Just consider the fact that the Irish government spends loads of taxpayer money on the "new people" in Ireland. They are given, the dole, money for a car,mobile phone, free housing, entertainment money and myriad other things. The poor out of work Paddy gets the dole . . .that's it. So putting up multilingual street signs is consistent with government largesse, as is erecting a statue to another foreigner while the Irish people go hungry. Just get on the phone to Angela Merkel and ask for more money!

This little vignette puts a spotlight on the problem faced by progressives such as myself in the forthcoming election. Obama has let us down badly, both at home and overseas. I will never vote for him. But this woman gives us an indication of the kind of people who will be running the country if Romney were to be elected. I've even heard that the quite crazy John Bolton could be named Secretary of State. We thought we had kicked out the neo-cons, but they'll be back in force if Romney is President.

I'd be far likelier to visit Galway, Che statue or no, than to go to Limerick if the imbecilic mayor of that city goes ahead with his plan to put up street signs in Yoruba, Swahili, Polish, latvian etc.

Rep Ros-Lehtinen should stick to what she and GOP do best suppress the voting rights of Americans!

America thinks it can tell the world what is acceptable

Look, it is your city and of course you have the right to erect a monument to anyone you like. The thing is that you may well offend many who enjoy visiting Galway. Here in NYC we have gone out of our way to make Irish people feel at home. Over the centuries we have provided jobs, apartments, friendship and security for countless Irish expatriates. So now you spew hatred at us when one of our politicians tries to give you a "heads-up." Cad iad grúpa daoine beag olc libh go léir! So go ahead, build a statue of the murdering Dr.Guevara or Dr. Mengele or Oliver Cromwell or anyone else you like. Just have the courage of your convictions and ask Bord Failte to include the Ché Guevara monument in all of the American travel brochures!

Watch out for Drones over Galway.

It is really way too arm in Florida. Unbelievably hot. Let us forgive US Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen for going nuts over something that is none of his business. Let us all be equally thankful that he is not demanding, instead, a monument to Oliver Cromwell, the "stalwart protector" of the rapacious empire.

http://www.collegiatetimes.com/stories/10820/column-che-guevara-exposing-myths-about-a-murderer Ireland has a lot of courageous people they can honor without honoring someone like this. Who is next, Idi Amin Dada?

Ros-Lehtinen would be more inclined to erect a statue of Bautisa in South Beach to remind her kind of all the goodies they got while the rest of Cuba starved.

How can we turn this degenerate monument into a permanent pigeon roost?

Erecting a statue to this communist monster? Any Irish patriot should smash this disgusting "tribute" to this mass murder! Wake Up From Your Slumber, O Emerald Isle!

Go suck on an egg Ros-Lehtinen and keep your unwanted nose out of Irish affairs.

FORGET THE STATUE AND GIVE THE MONEY TO THE POOR.
