The problem isn't de Blasio. It's the Irish "Catholics" who vote for these crumbs.
And who did the Protestants and other non-Catholics vote for? Why pick on just the Catholics?
A landslide? Only 22% of eligible voters voted. He won the majority of that pathetic showing.
The Irish ‘Catholics’ I know are a puzzlement To get them to mass on Christmas is like Noah coaxing giraffes in the rain to get on the boat. It’s like a russell Crowe drama
Their Catholicism goes back to the fifth century when st Patrick converted the pagans to Catholicism. So, for sixteen centuries, now going on seventeen, their ancestors practice Catholicism Its not like they all were pagan for a century or so and then another time all married Jewish and then went back to Catholicism. They were catholic for sixteen centuries
I knew their grandmothers, who knew their own grandmothers They practiced and propagated the faith
I knew an Irish American man who was born in 1888. He had a seat on the stock exchange. He had a lot of wealth besides. Went into manhattan every day He wore a miraculous medal gold hand made huge. You couldn’t wear it in public now, some heroin seeker would grab it. This man would not let a day go by without saying the rosary with his wife. And that was the norm
You tell me what happened.
The ones I know vote republicans Kennedy’s but the women are as culturally liberal as you could imagine. We went to the same schools, knew the same people some shared grandparents and old aunts
If they went to catholic college, forget it, but it happened before that.
The entire region is in trouble The Kennedys tipified the situation
But like wit Obama, he did get voted it, or close enough to it
