Celebrating Irish culture on SPD = celebrating Mexican culture on Cinco de Mayo. Nobody makes much of a fuss of Mexican flags everywhere on the 5th of May.
I don't know if people would start having a huge problem if a large amount of Irish Americans started waving the Irish flag all year and put it above the American flag and started demanding the national foods be changed to potatoes and Guinness, but my guess eventually the non-Irish would start getting at least annoyed.
Except I've seen a disturbing trend where certain celebrations are disparaged such as Black History Month, or Hispanic History Month. The common attack is "where's my white history month"...which totally ignores all the eurocentric months celebrated in the US.
According to a new CNN/ORC poll out Monday, 84% of voters nationwide think Donald Trump will lead the Republican ticket in November, while 85% say the same about Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton.
But the sense of inevitability hasn't boosted their support among their own parties. Each has the backing of about half of voters: Clinton is the choice of 51% of Democratic voters, while 49% of Republican voters say they would prefer Trump to be their nominee.
*It's wide open (Trump v Clinton). Each is likely to torpedo their own chances. It's a trainwreck of epic proportions. One wins; a nation loses. We get what we deserve.
My secret bet is the Bill is the ultimate source of demise for Hillary. I think he resents her and can't help but sabotage her. Plenty of instances so far. His recent comments about the email investigation are just more fuel for the conspiracy fire.
Clinton was attending a panel discussion with residents and Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin in Williamson, W. Va. when she was asked a question by Bo Copley, who told her he was a laid off worker in the coal industry.
I just want to know how you can say youre going to put a lot of coal miners out of, out of jobs, and then come in here and tell us how youre going to be our friend, because those people out there dont see you as a friend, Copley said, sometimes breaking into tears, as the chants of the protesters were heard outside.
Clinton however said her comments in March were a misstatement, and that she has been talking about helping out coal country for a very long time.
What I was saying is that the way things are going now, we will continue to lose jobs, Clinton said Monday. Thats what I meant to say, and I think that that seems to be supported by the facts. I didnt mean that we were going to do it, what I said was, that is going to happen unless we take action to try to and help and prevent it.
Stumble, stumble Hillary...

I'm not sure how your comments could have been a mistake...other than you now pandering to yet another crowd.
Luckily coal miners see right through her nonsense. And she's certainly not helping Joe Manchin in the process either.
