[QUOTE="O'Rothlain, post: 110789"] No they claim to be Born with Irish Blood, because they want the paddy vote... Also so why don't the 'Irish' Americans give back the land to the Native American Indians?? Cos at the end of the day you took it from them... [/b][/quote] It's not because they want the "Paddy Vote," it's because they are genuinely proud...like the rest of us. Sure, their great-grand father may have knocked up a girl from Kalamazoo who's parents were Sweedish-African emigrants, but they passed on the Irish traditions. I personally don't own any land...so their you have it. However my great great grandfather (an Irishman from Co. Mayo) was a Sooner in the Oklahoma Land Run. So, he sorta took a bit of Indian land. The Indians are being given back tremendous amounts of land, as well as being compensated though free health care, college education, grants, business perks and yes, casinos. It's a start, it's not perfect. But it's more than the English will ever attempt to do for the people of Ireland.
