		<description><![CDATA[For the Protestants, their religion long dead, the Catholics are the eternal enemy.
Protestants won Christendom in Queen Anne&#039;s War in 1707.

You will note Christendom now...is gone.
Indeed, it&#039;s all quite gutted, sold, mortgaged, leveraged.  But one must protest to be a protestant. 
Even against ghosts.  

But at least the Church and its prohibitions about usury are out of the Way! 

This has all the glamour and justice of the Spanish Anarchists digging up the corpses of nuns and putting them on trial during the Spanish Civil War. 

Indeed, the Left are the last of the Protestants.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;“There are Irish in Boston? Why are there Irish in Boston?” (George Washington, 1793)&lt;/i&gt;

What is the source for your quotation? As far as I know, there was a significant Irish population in Boston well before 1776, and Washington knew there were a lot of them in the Continental Army certainly by 1780, when he made St. Patrick&#039;s day his troops&#039; only holiday that winter, probably even before the St. Patrick&#039;s Day 1776 battle of Bunker Hill, when he made &quot;St. Patrick&quot; the password.

See for example:

https://www.mountvernon.org/george-washington/religion/a-brave-and-generous-people/

Were you just making up something you imagine Washington &lt;i&gt;might&lt;/i&gt; have said? If so it&#039;s contradicted by history.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today, the rot is bone-deep; in 1941, ‘twas only skin-deep.

“Loss of freedom” is but the visible, acute symptom of what happens when you bodily replace the nation and government of Protestant Anglo-Germanics, by Protestant Anglo-Germanics, for Protestant Anglo-Germanics, with the children of aliens and peasants and natural slaves. U.S.-sponsored Somali ethnic cleansing of Swedes in Minnesota is a difference only of degree—not of kind—from U.K.-sponsored Irish ethnic cleansing of the sons of liberty (Massachusetts) in Boston.

Such is life when your government is in form and function a sprawling for-profit monopoly corporation monomaniacally dedicated to the grand plan of mixing and matching and fixing and smashing your bones into meal so as to best counter incipient insurgency and Deliver Shareholder Value.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;”...until the Supreme Court suddenly found in 1941”&lt;/i&gt;

Wow.  The rot was already deep in 1941.

At least the majority opinion was honest, noting that such migration could destroy the country, but at least we will be destroyed equally and together.

Justice Jackson was moved to note that states could still stop criminals.  Wondering his thoughts on illegal aliens having more access to resources of the nation than current citizens.

And &quot;muh freedom&quot; they were so worried about in 1941 seems mostly gone.  We&#039;ve got armed guards turning us away from most public facilities; parks and other public space have been ceded to drug cartels and the ghetto cohort.  I&#039;m otherwise stopped and bothered for driving the wrong speed; not having proper documentation, or mechanical integrity, of my vehicle.  A large chunk of my effort goes to maintaining the tax and insurance status of my property, so it is not taken from me and turned into a refuge and resource for migrants, etc.]]></description>
