Joe Kennedy III joins Irish lobby on Capitol Hill

Great Dalcasian, its Joe Kennedy the Third...

Since Congressman Joe Kennedy 111 intends to follow in his father's footsteps by becoming a Congressional Friend of the Irish National Caucus, he may not be very popular with a large number of T.D.s in Dáil Éireann who regard Ireland's Northeasst region as a permanent part of Great Britain.

Will Hamilton, why do you think the Irish National Caucus is loyal to the pope? Their statement reads, "The Irish National Caucus is non-violent, non-partisan, and non-sectarian. It has no foreign principal and does not support, morally or financially, any group or party in any part of Ireland. It does not send money to Ireland...." Maybe that's why Rick Santorum, who was a 107th Congress member of the INC, dropped out. He found out that the INC has nothing to do with the pope? On the INC web site, you'll find these words of BJ Flaherty's: "Indeed, it has haunted me my entire life: how could Irish Catholic Church leaders in both Ireland and the United States have remained silent about the British Government’s anti-Irish and anti-Catholic policy in Northern Ireland? What the hell was wrong with them? I write in my book, 'Thank God Ben Gilman was Jewish and Bill Clinton was Protestant' because had they been Catholic, they might have been guided my the official position of the American Bishops: “… there is no appropriate basis for public intervention in the problems of Northern Ireland, either by this conference, or any branch of the US government (1979)."

Better look to your history pal. There have been quite a few. You sound like a Know-Nothing.

No organisation headed or including members whose first loyalty is to an archaic elderly German male virgin in Rome could really be described as being a friend of Ireland.
