As a Mexican, I send our respects to the people of The Republic of Ireland. Salute to the brave Irish men that fought for Mexico throughout 1846-48 In the Mexican-American War!!! May the lord have a great place in heaven for the Saint Patrick Battalion for they fought against an invasion of a bully neighbor in witch they related back at home against the Brits ! ! ! Viva los San Patricios ! ! !
We are the sons and daughters of Hibernia, proud heirs of an ancient legacy. We've settled every corner of the globe, driven from our homeland by famine and oppression, or simply by the restless spirit that's our birthright. Wherever we go, we bring with us a love of freedom, a melancholy humor, a biting wit, and a golden tongue. We are the Irish.
@@keithkeegan9776 The English certainly tried, look up The Malthusian model, an English idea based on killing off the Irish through famines and justifying it as “too many people”
Try looking at it this way. The Irish, through strenghth of character, perserverance and a will to survive, escaped an awful situation and went on to build great nations all over the world. These are your people !!!! Their blood flows through millions of people across the globe. Be proud of us cousin. There's a reason me and my siblings have names like Francis, Dennis,Kathleen, James & John . It's a tribute, to where we come from. We love the dream of Ireland. You're living it !
As an Irish-American, I absolutely love the culture of Ireland that we try to keep alive. Boston and Chicago have a large Irish community and they are very welcoming and great at keeping people happy❤love to my Irish brothers and sisters across the globe
Irish of the world unite! I'm French-Irish descended from a soldier under Patrick Sarsfield's command. supposedly related to Thomas Russell too. oh well. one can only hope. Erin Go Bragh

@johnirland My Uncle was an Irish rebel from Limerick. In the time of the tans. He ended up in an English colony far away from home for his trouble. My mother was afraid to tell us what happened.Forty years later! We had to find out about him from others in Ireland and here.Thank you, Sonny.
Happy Neew Year,everyone! here's hoping that the Irish people,Catholic and Protestant can live together in peace and harmony with equal justice and opportunity for all. An American-Irish wish for you!.

I don't want to remember what my opinions were when I was 22. Some people dream of seeing NYC just once in their life. It's my hometown and I don't begrudge them that.
@duncqwerty Many americans can have dual citizenship. Don't be a dope. Do you know how many Irish came here with sadness that they could not stay home?
@Emerald007007 Amen to that!! But I think thats why we are a special country and nation! Despite the back of our country being broken so many times for one reason or another we always stand up taller and stronger than before! Peace will come to our emerald isle yet my friend!
@sam778395 We are American-Irish because your people, who came here made sure their children and their children's children remembered where we came from and why. Why have you forgotten that?
im american but i'm also irish and scottish. go irish and scottish rugby teams and long live ireland and scotland. and as much as i like england because of the couple of sites there i would rather be in ireland or scotland cause it's the country and i love the country of ireland and scotland cause it looks peaceful in ireland and scotland
@sandinmyears1 British americans outnumber irish americans by hundreds of thousands over a million infact..... just a question why did you irish make such a big deal of being american and the British and German didnt?????
@joebstarsurfer In America, where we can make our own way without British interference. Funny, the Irish have thrived everywhere they went outside of Ireland. Fifty million of us here,baby waiting for you to fall.
@MRAK47ification - Some of us are protestant by preference. My parents were both raised as Catholic. It's not a matter of politics in America. It's a matter of choice. I'm sorry that religion has caused so much hardship and division in Ireland.
@MRAK47ification are ya jealous of what the irish have got?? irish people like myself are proud of the land they were born.. proud of the land we fought for proud of the launguage we speak often dont say anything about the irish you cant judge us
@nfpmg ok my family comes from germany... hence the fact my surname is Fritz.... but i dont wave a germany flag around and say im german... no im british and the british goverment protects me and allows me to survive.....
@superflycat2 Yup! Thats the thing about us Irish! You can take us out of Ireland but you can never take Ireland out of us! (When i say 'you' i dont mean you, just people in general) Wer a proud bunch and at times that can be our downfall but mostly it makes us stronger, especially when we come together!
@MRAK47ification And that means what, exactly? The American English mostly are absorbed into the culture. They have no complaint. Their forebearers country wasn't invaded by a foreign race that occupied their country up to the present day.The Irish had to come here en masse because your people did all they could to destroy them including starvation. We haven't forgotten. As my Irish mother said "We're not dead, yet". Oh, and still Catholic, Too.
@MRAK47ification I ment your outnumbered on this! And who said anything about Americans! Funny though, you never see an American flying a British flag and sayin, "Oh yeah, Im British!" Do ye think those "Brit-Americans" are proud of their heritage?? Doubt it! Just think about it, how often do ye hear "British-American" or "English-American"???
Its time to let the past go and move forward. Thats the long and the short of it. We can go on with this line of thinking ontill the end of days. If we do it will just make us as bad as our oppressors. Nobodys hands are clean when it comes to Ireland. NOBODYS. If we are thinking of revenge we have do dig two graves one the them and on for us.
@MRAK47ification Em why do are you saying that up in the north of Ireland you say blowing up babies is sick when that is where all the trouble is. What you dont seem to get is that the IRA are mainly based up in the North and not in the South so the Republic of Ireland does not have this problem so there for the problem is on British soil which makes it your problem so you should really fix it. Things are could in the South.
@DaorDoBritney lol what bullshit well my history teacher showed us where gaeilic jibberish is spoken its a few tiny areas in the west of ireland a true fact......
@Shiivvyy1 I know what you are saying. I agree with you about the soil and the IRA were started in Cork but what I was saying is that the IRA are doing there business in the North, not that they started in the North and I was refering to the North being British soil cause of a comment that MARK47ification was saying a few pages back that the North was British soil and I was saying that if the North was Brititsh soil then the problems up there are British. I just said it wrong.
No, it's regional and ancestral DNA. No way to disprove it. So even though you may be more adapt to Irish culture, Ireland, etc; You can stubbornly look at it however you want, but there is opposition because it can be proven. Just putting that out there. And no matter how much you may not like it, the Irish are all over, bud.
@nfpmg ok... british colonials wanted to be recongised as british people.... but the goverment didnt want them... then our colonials had a war with our govermant... then after the war which our colonials won..... the colonials became patriotic americans.... which is why it was never made such a big deal of..... but regardless of this war over 40 million of them (19%) of the US claims to be british ??? irish americans are only new to the states and in a much, much smaller number to be americans
@coirpeach1 That's because they're wrong; they know they're wrong and they have to keep telling themselves their own lies. Time will not change what was done by the English in Ireland but the Irish people will.
@909skeet well British americans (who outnumber irish americans according to the 09 census) had the wealthy jobs and money and your irish americans worked on railroads and stuff lolololololololololllololololoollolololo
@sandinmyears1 That is a failing. TV and newspapers can write many, but his roots nobody can to disclaim. I believe America have had great fear from an german feeling in his population, because so America never would be fighting against Germany in two world wars. Economically reasons (also with war) from US-gouverment was stronger than the wish for peace with an stronger and greater Germany in Europe in the time since 1900 til 1990...
