Will bring ye back to the 1980's WHEN THIS COUNTRY WAS ON THE ROCKS and everybody who could wanted to join the other generations who fled the Country as economic refugees to try and get a job and make a living.The USA was the place to go to and there were huge queues at the American Embassy in Ballsbridge to try and get that all important VISA to gain entry.You needed an Irish Passport and the VISA to get into the promised land.
Of my grandfather's family 8 of the 11 siblings went there never to return so nothing new there.They were glad to get out of this country and have a life.
The Irish politicos then and until now were savvy enough not to lecture nor look down their noses at the American political system seeing as how they were so incompetent themselves that they couldn't give a decent lifestyle to our own indigenous people and they left by the new time.
The tide has been and is one way save for the odd academic know all who has arrived here to impose their own hedonistic lifestyles on us ignorant deplorables ,seeing as they have done their best to fuck up their home nation and now use their so called Irishness to preach sedition against their mother land.
In this they are well supported by the liberal left ,who are generally useless at everything and must be genetically related to Diarmot MORROUGH who sold out his bitrthright an gave away his own daughter for personal power.
In any event Margaret Thatcher was in power in England and Regan was President in the USA and they had a special relationship which meant that had you a British Passport you could bypass the VISA requirement an get straight into the States ,no problem.
Now our man was jobless and wanted out,Visas WERE LIKE GOLD DUST and took ages to get.
He wasn't alone in this and it was embarrassing to look at the queues of hopefuls snaking around the American Embassy every day .
Maggie famously told Garrett "OUT,OUT ,OUT " in relation to joint sovereignty for the North and made a show of him .
That phrase was fierce appropriate for emigration to the USA as his Blue shirt /Labour Government were economically clueless and unemployment was out of control and they were glad to have this release valve so the" Out "mantra was the perfect escape route for them.
Garrett wasn't vain enough nor stupid enough to lecture the USA on how to conduct their business unlike the ludramans in labour and the Blue shirts now who can't even provide housing for our own people and feel free to lecture the elected leader of the free world on how to conduct his business.
Bu nothing should surprise us ,These gob shites felt Free to lecture the Pope on how to run his religion and are actively hostile to Catholicism and utterly hate the living unborn and salivate at the prospect of killing more and more of them.
It is blatantly clear why nera whisper of protest was raised in the eighties against American Policy on emigration and why every upstart is seething now,That reason is that those in power here think nothing of the indigenous Irish Catholic but venerate the refugee Muslim ONE LEGGED lESBOS and other guests of the Nation who they have allowed to take over our country.
Simple as.

A PAINE IN THE STOMACH
Mick Paine was a big hit with the girls and a fine looking fella in the days when the Show bands ruled supreme.He was therefor miffed when a girl he had asked to dance in his local ballroom didn't know him."Just who are you "she said."I'll give you a clue "said he,"you might get a touch of my name in your stomach betimes",
"Have ya "said she"you are a Toole from Dunderr'y "
And so it went.

Bob's Boulevard.
Meath County Council are currently laying down a footpath from the Village of Dunderry down to the Graveyard.Not before the time you might say and I know that no one lobbied more vehemently for it than Nancy Horan.
But Bob Lee ,God Bless him was also a fervent supporter of such a pathway.
For those more recently arrived in Dunderry ,and there are many,Bob lived the far side of the Graveyard from Dunderry,the first house on the left after it.
Bob was a Galway man who spent much of his working life in England and returned here with his wife Etna and three fragrant daughters in the latter years of his working life,never actually retiring until stricken with a stroke which downed him entirely.
He was the strongest man I ever met and in a place renowned for strong men that was no idle feat.He could lift two full barrels of Guinness side by side with one hand .
Bob liked a pint of Guinness and told me that one reason he chose to live where he did was because the house was beside the Village and within walking distance of two good pubs and I would say that Horans was probably his favourite being slightly nearer his home.
With the drink driving laws that have contributed so much to the devastation of the pub trade in rural Ireland and to the devastation and emptying of it ,he was afraid to chance driving home with over two pints on him and used risk life and limb walking the half mile home on an unpaved and unlit road.
He frequently wished for what is now being constructed.
Too late for Bob but I like to think that he is beaming down from Heaven satisfied that his word with the Man had a big bearing on the matter,
Bob's Boulevard has a nice ring to it,don't you agree.

Seditious Nature of RTE Reportage is Vile.
Since Donald Trump threw his hat into the race for the PRESIDENCY of the USA the reportage of the presidential race has been totally partisan in favour of the Democratic Party nominee and any Republican opponent of Trump in both the printed media here and especially in the National broadcaster RTE .
No attempt is made to have any balance whatsoever in the reportage and where his actions are not derided they are jeered at by what can most charitably described as leftist smoked salmon Liberals and disgusting Feminists who are ad idem in their desire to terminate the lives of as many of their unborn children as they can get away with and who expect Societal approval in this regard.
Thank God they have been called out by the decent folk who regard all life as sacred and presented with a challenge of more substance and resistance than an innocent and defenceless unborn human can muster.
Maybe now the decent people can see that by killing their own unborn children they are disenfranchising themselves by the very act of killing those who would most likely share their values.
Now I notice some dangerous mistruths being peddled by those who just won't accept that they were lawfully beaten in a free election and whose seditious actions and words seem designed to foment violence and maybe civil war in the USA.
Amongst those are the fact that Trump did not win the popular vote.The fact is that it is not the popular vote that counts in the USA .Each State has a vote within itself and the person with the most votes within each State or part thereof secures the votes of a number of delegates within that State.
Given that Ireland has a Proportional Representation system to ensure that minorities have some chance of protection it is rich for any Irish commentator / any other commentator or so called journalist to rabbit on about the popular vote in America.
The Obama administration seem to me to have been an unmitigated disaster.His foreign policies seem to have been limited to squaring up to Russia and he has left the Middle East and much of Europe and Africa
in murderous turmoil and he has personally presided over the cold blooded murder of a captured man another Obama.,and there must be many others we don't know about.
He has adduced most of Europe and Turkey into fights he and his predecessors got involves in,with the result that most of the countries so adduced are in a permanent state of emergency to such an extent that even boarding a plane is an embarrassing humiliation for every passenger.
Like IN the EU Big Government there has poked its nose into every aspect of business and human behaviour ,micro managing every bodies lives and totally stifling initiative.
Trump's election and Br exit did not come into being by accident.
And given that the Judas goat politicians who coaxed us to surrender so much of our sovereignty that we cannot even represent ourselves man to man or woman to woman about the future of our own Country vis a vis THE UK in the Brexit negotiations but must have some other EU flunky represent us ,it is only a matter of time until we too will see that we have been sold a mongrel pup and do to what the Brits did.
In any event RTE is the State broadcaster and the preaching of sedition against the legitimate President of the USA by its presenters is bound to be picked up by the intelligence services in the USA AND WILL UNDOUBTEDLY HAVE CONSEQUENCES.
Were I Trump I wouldn't put up with this partisan reportage by feminist reportage's who treat my regime with contempt and would take whatever action action is necessary to redress the matter.
For starters how about repatriating all the American investment in Ireland and maybe then sending home to the knowalls here all the illegal Irish in the States.
Given that the knowalls here cannot even put a roof over those who remain here the arrival of maybe a half million returned emigrants would have consequences.
No doubt the big mouthed over biter liberal Trump and Christian haters journalists who preach the sedition will surrender their jobs and houses y to help them out.
Not on your Nelly.

Death of Veronica Steele,of Beara ,Co.Cork.
Orla Mc Feeley of this Parish,who has been a leading light in the Tidy Towns and other Community initiatives and is well known around the Village had an aunt on her mother's side called Veronica Barron before she married a guy called Norman Steele and they had 4 children Susan,Jerry,Kate and Quinlan and 11 grandchildren.
She was a lady of some note in the wider Beara community, being a pioneer cheese maker of Milleens cheese and has also been variously described as a philosopher,leaper and humanist.
She died on the 4th.January gone and is being cremated at the Island Crematorium ,Ringaskiddy at 12.30 tomorrow 9th Jan 2017.
Now I didn't know this lady but she succumbed to an illness new to me called Multiple System Athropy and she bravely bore this illness I m told.
Those who know Orla will recognize some at least of the qualities ascribed to her aunt and she has taken the long journey to Castletownbere to bid farewell to her aunt.
The Drumbeat offers its full sympathy to Orla and her extended family on their huge loss.
Being a Believer myself I don't know what the protocol is in this case but figure that the Catholic prayer "Ar Dheis De go raibh a hAnam "in no way diminishes her humanist beliefs and wish her accordingly.
