...Irish Americans hold for their patrimony is gratifying. Nonetheless, it is not always healthy or helpful. For 40 years prior to 9/11, the most munificent global funder of terrorism was not Iran or Iraq but the U.S.  Irish-American organizations channeled millions of dollars into the Irish Republican Army, extremists responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocents—both Catholic and Protestant—as well as soldiers and police, in the north, south, and the British mainland. Lured by hand-me-down sentiment, Irish Americans unwittingly paid for every soldier killed, every...

This past Saturday, Congress’s best chance to enact considerable climate legislation anytime soon received a devastating blow.

Although this united opposition to the Democratic establishment is healthy for the Republican opposition, the Tea Party’s rhetoric is not. Calling the president of the United States a socialist is the type of extreme language the Republican Party needs to disassociate itself from, and using similarly harsh language toward Republicans in office or the idea of government altogether is certainly not conducive to a GOP electoral victory this fall...

...Party movement adds more disunity to the Republican Party and has the potential of alienating the party even more from mainstream voters. I alternate between “party” and “parties” when referring to the Tea Party movement because the organization is a confusion of several groups. I am sure Republicans would not want to add such incohesiveness to their already-scrambling coalition. The popularity of these Tea Parties suggests that the Republican Party should articulate coherent policies of their own to reach out to unsatisfied masses instead of simply blocking Democratic attempts...
