Ireland came to America, because of deprived liberty, deprived of opportunity, of safety — of even food itself the Irish believed and four decades before Lady Liberty lifted her lamp, we were the wretched refuse on the teeming shore.
We believed in the shelter of America, in the compassion of America, in the opportunity of America, we came and we became Americans.
We lived the words of John F. Kennedy, long before he uttered him. We asked not what America could do for us, but what we could do for American — and we still do.
Trump’s face? Not so smug now. This was an international slam by a world leader.
Thank you, Prime Minister Enda Kenny. And that’s a big thank you, not only for telling Donald Trump what time it is, with him standing right there, but also for helping this country and the world remember what America truly stands for. Happy St. Patrick’s Day.
Wow.
Update: Looks like he schooled the GOP as well. Not seeing the smug on Wealthcare Punk Paul Ryan’s face either. Here’s to Prime Minister Kenny.
