This is an absurd list. First is a woman who, if I read the papers correctly, argued for the bombing of a country with which the US had no quarrel. Why should we admire a warmonger? Second, Day, is a woman who supports the EU's headlock on Ireland. She blatantly disrespected Ireland's vote NO to an EU referendum a couple years back, and connived with the EU to force the Irish government (not difficult to do) to run the vote a second time, accompanied by threats of mass unemployment if the outcome didn't change. That time the EU won, but guess what?--the Irish got mass unemployment anyway. Day is not loyal to Ireland, her loyalty is to her EU masters. "Ireland's image in the European Union has been tarnished by the 'no' vote”, Day said. “I can see every day that it has reduced our ability to shape and influence events in the European Union". What a craven idiot--check out how much Ireland "shapes and influences the EU today!!
