Irish Stereotypes

Nothing more contrary than a proud and loud Irish American drunk.

There's something a little twisted with the philosophy of:

"I don't have a drinking problem.

I drink, I get drunk, I fall down...

No problem".

Not much to be proud of there, but heck, if it means another shot a whiskey...

More than likely. We've been in every Irish rebellion for the past 1000 years. And I'm not exaggerating either.

I can't speak for the old country. The O'Hooples were none to literate back then but during the great famine five O'Hoople brothers immigrated in a rat infested ship to the USA where shortly there after one of the O'Hoople brothers was hanged for stealing a horse. Indeed it was a great family tragedy. He was also the first O'Hoople to learn to write his own name.

The first IRA. And Sinn Fieners. And so on. To my knowledge there are no current IRA members, but I'm not sure.

My Mick side were probably not involved in that. My great-grandfather was a college professor in Waterford and his son, my grandfather, emigrated to Canada when he was 14, in 1918. I'm not sure why.

He probably got caught in a compromising position with a half backed potato!!
 
The O'Neals were protestant Irish. That tells me that they were the British's bitches. My ancestor immigrated to South Carolina in the middle 18th century and was there during the revolutionary war. The book I read this out of said that he was a personal friend of three of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, but I don't know who they'd be. My family soon went to Mississippi, where they owned a slave. They became dirt poor after the Great Depression, my dad was able to move beyond that though, and that's where I am now.

For some odd reason, the family seems to produce a great deal of nonreligious liberals, despite living in the most conservative and religious shithole in the developed world. About half the families nonreligious and liberal, the other half are rabidly conservative Christians. My brother and sister both arrived at liberal and atheist viewpoints independent of me.
