"Christ, What A Jar-Headed Asshole!"

As well as an ignorant, ill-informed clown more than willing to share his bestial stupidity.
 Olivia Beavers / The Hill:
Kelly defends Confederate statues: 'History's history'  —  says it is a mistake to pull down Confederate-tied symbols and scrub markers of historical importance, arguing that it is a “dangerous” practice to retroactively project current attitudes onto past events.

Say, you don't suppose King of Shit Kelly's idiotic statements have anything to do w/ this slice of the putrid culture of these United Snakes, do you?
Collectively, these men couldn’t be more different from the proverbial grace of the old Irish American liberals like Tip O’Neill, full of poetic allusions and noble ideals. What motivates them is a passionate antipathy to the “liberals” who destroyed the America of the 1940s and 50s. That vanished world created space for their fathers and uncles to achieve a modest prosperity, and it’s worth remembering how hard-won material success and social respectability was for the Irish. Although they built enclaves of ethnic political power back in the nineteenth century, well into the post-World War II era they remained outsiders in the Ivy League, the State Department, or the White House. By the 1960s, however, Catholics, especially Irish Catholics, had finally made it and become fully “white,” a long process indeed. Having fought their way to full inclusion, many were intent on pulling up the drawbridge.
You may remember when Kelly was lying through his teeth about Congresswoman Wilson a few wks. back, he whined “You know when I was a kid growing up a lot of things were sacred in our country. Women were sacred, looked upon with great honor. That’s obviously not the case anymore as we’ve seen from recent cases. Life was sacred. That’s gone. Religion. That seems to be gone as well. Gold Star families, I think that left in the convention over the summer.”

Yep, same sad "Liberals ruined everything, but I got mine so fuck you" shit. And do enjoy the irony of a professional murderer bitching about the sacredness of life and bemoaning the loss of religion as he violates the commandment against lying.

The last sentence in this article is epic!
And the the acknowledgement that "whiteness" was recently awarded to the Irish less than 75 years or so ...LOL ... the honest to God truth! So refreshing!
Well said ...well said!
