KISS MY IRISH ASS LYRICS

by Frank Mackey and The Keltic Cowboys

Oh the churchbells are ringin' in the schoolyard, 
And we all went out those days
The bully said "Mick would you fancy a rumble?"
I said "Yes, it's time to play!"

Oh the nuns and the priests they grabbed their Rosaries
As they pulled our bodies apart
The bully said "Mick you lost the fight, but you've gained my respect! 
You fight with so much heart!"

We're as stubborn as mules
With our blood on fire
When we ain't at Sunday mass
We'll look any man straight in his eyes and say
Kiss my Irish ass! 
You better kiss my Irish ass! 

Oh the husbands and wives, they had a neighborhood pack
They called the Mackeys white trash behind our backs (White Trash! )
I was way too young to understand that
But if I did, I'd given it right back

Oh me dad, he'd be drunk on the lawn, 
Yelling and screaming like he do
But sometimes my old man felt what he was feeling, 
Sometimes Mr. Mackey spoke the truth

We're as stubborn as mules
With our blood on fire
When we ain't at Sunday mass
We'll look any man straight in his eyes and say
Kiss my Irish ass! 
You better kiss my Irish ass! 

Oh me grandpa passed through Ellis Island, 
From the greatest of the Motherlands
For he worked, provided for his family
He was a dedicated welding man
And he knew right from wrong like day and night, 
He could whip any fool in a bareknuckle fight
He talked of country like he preached of God, 
One hell of an Irishman! 

We're as stubborn as mules
With our blood on fire
When we ain't at Sunday mass
We'll look any man straight in his eyes and say
Kiss my Irish ass! 
You better kiss my Irish ass! 

Oooohh, I'm of a distant relation to John Redman, 
He was one of the greatest Irish Rebels of his day
One bastard to another, on down the line
And this is what my son will say:

We're as stubborn as mules
With our blood on fire
When we ain't at Sunday mass
We'll look any man straight in his eyes and say
Kiss my Irish ass! 
We're as stubborn as mules
With our blood on fire
When we ain't at Sunday mass
We'll look any man straight in his eyes and say
Kiss my Irish ass! 
You better kiss my Irish ass!

Kennedy Assassination 1963 – Occam’s Razor on Conspiracy Theories – Oliver Stone’s Theory as Good as Any Other – Lee Harvey Oswald’s Secret CIA Star?

This may not be current but it is current to me and a reaction to all the I want to gag in my throat stuff the MSM will be dumping on the dumbed down American public in the next few weeks and the fiftieth anniversary of the JFK assassination.

I have to wonder after fifty years, did the CIA give Lee Harvey Oswald a Secret Star on its wall of fallen heroes in Langley Virginia.  First unknown star of 1965 after LBJ’s re-election?

I have to wonder if Oswald was asked to fall on his sword  to cover up a rogue CIA black ops cell that ran amuck and offed President Kennedy for the sake of being able to do it and or for the heck of it – a personal ego kind of thing or a very unprofessional way of putting one’s professional mark on history.

Of all the things we know about Kennedy’s death in fifty years was that he got shot on streets of Dallas Texas.

Everything else is speculation. Including this.

That the film JFK by Oliver Stone’s is kind of like the Occam’s razor solution or the simplest answer to what sounds like some grand conspiracy thing.  It ran with what the New Orleans District Attorney found by sifting the sands of the corrupter sides of an already corrupt NO. And it might have been politics to get publicity and it might have been homophobia of Jim Garrison etc. Many things we may never know.

That to my way of thinking and by following the whole JFK cottage conspiracy theory for fifty years since he was shot when I was a child, all the conspiracy stuff is little more than hot air.

That the lone gunman theory was dusted off by the Secret Service left over from the McKinley and Garfield assassinations and it might even be the Occam’s edge of an Occam’s sword or razor but it is not. But that is what we got.

I think that more than one man placed the shots fired on Government Automobile License GG-300 on November 22, 1963 and beyond that, Oswald may or may not have known what was about to go down but he surely knew ten seconds after the historical facts of the whole thing happened.

The defection to Russia, the man in the Cuban Embassy in Mexico City - the cop killer on the other side of town in Dallas that day may have had ID in his, their wallets identifying themselves as Lee Harvey Oswald but there was more than one LHO walking around Dallas that day etc. IMO

Whatever.

If Oswald was as I suspect a CIA operative operating on some undercover thing and he got used to the max to help everybody and their brother in Government – to give them time to burn all the Cuban Ops docs from Bay of Pigs onward, then Oswald gave the last measure of devotion to his country and cannot be openly honored by the CIA.

I hope he got his star at least for being one of the most maligned historic figures since Brutus.

"Yes, there are times when [speeches] have been sloppy or not correct or we've made an error," Paul said. "But the difference is, I take it as an insult and I will not lie down and say people can call me dishonest, misleading or misrepresenting. I have never intentionally done so."

He continued, "And like I say, if, you know, if dueling were legal in Kentucky, if they keep it up, you know, it would be a duel challenge. But I can't do that, because I can't hold office in Kentucky then."

Pastor Rafael Cruz Witness to Tragic Historic Event of JFK in Dallas November 22 1963?

Photo Source: Wikipedia Commons http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:JFK_limousine.png

I see that Pastor Rafael Cruz might have been in or about Dallas on 11/22/1963 with the birth of his second daughter Roxanne Lourdes Cruz, Ted's older half-sister, there in November 1962.

I saw this photo and could not help but see the resemblance to Senator Ted Cruz’s father in photo of JFK on the way to his assassination.

Suck Up Bearded Canadian Senator for Red State Texas - Ted Cruz

Sen. Ted Cruz Born Out of Wedlock? – His Claim to American Citizenship

Sen. Ted Cruz Born Out of Wedlock? – His Claim to American Citizenship Depends Solely on His Parent’s Marriage Certificate – Originating in Texas and or Canada?






Continuing along on Ted Cruz with the help of the Dallas Morning News’s exclusive publishing of Ted’s thirty day old official Canadian Birth Certificate to confuse the issue of Cruz’s American Citizenship rather than clarify it.

One has to wonder when both his parents Eleanor Darragh Wilson and Rafael Bienvenido Cruz divorced their spouses of previous marriages.

Eleanor Darragh Wilson has two daughters from her previous marriage who used to come visit mommy and live with mommy and step daddy Rafael in summer, meaning that Eleanor D. Wilson’s ex-husband had primary custody of the children during the school year or were living with grandparents.

Rafael Bienvenido Cruz was first married to Julia Anne Garza. They had two daughters, Miriam Ceferina Cruz born on Nov 22, 1961 in Austin and Roxana Lourdes Cruz born on Nov 18, 1962 in Dallas.

Have to wonder how close Ted is to his four half-sisters?

The divorces of Ted’s Parents must have happened sometime between 1962 and 1965 as the online Texas marriage records site (1966-2008) does not show a marriage after 1966 in Texas for these two people and under their commonly used names. Did they marry in Las Vegas? Lol

The requirements for citizenship for Ted at the time of his birth, from a birther site btw, are:
For persons born between December 24, 1952 and November 14, 1986,a person is a U.S. citizen if all of the following are true...
..For persons born out-of-wedlock (mother) if all the following apply:

1. the mother was a U.S. citizen at the time of the personʼs birth and

2. the mother was physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for a continuous period of one year prior to the personʼs birth.

Which leaves us with the question – Was Ted’s Mom married to Rafael Cruz on December 22, 1970? How long was Eleanor Darragh Wilson in Canada prior to Ted’s birth?

Was the reason for a quick trip to Calgary the means to get what looks like a legitimate birth certificate.

Anglos and Hispanics have entirely different points of view on legitimacy. Being born out of wedlock is more an English common law term that recognizes DNA connection but probably denies a claim on the father’s estates and titles etc.

That in many Hispanic cultures, if your father puts his name on your birth certificate, you have a father (period.).

Words like bastard, interchangeable by some with out of wedlock, are used with varying degrees of importance depending on which local culture in which the words are used or uttered.

The Canadian Birth Certificate implies that the parents are married.

But to be quite honest. Looking up marriage requirements in Alberta, there are no paper trails required for a first time marriage, no divorce decrees etc. required.

That in a hypothetical situation, an eager couple, resident worker aliens that want their child to appear legitimate at birth can say they are married and don’t have a copy of their American Marriage Certificate or they march into Calgary city hall, declare themselves single, Passports don’t mention marital status btw, and marry in Canada while waiting for one or two divorces to finalize in the States. LOL

Can’t get more libertine and or libertarian than that or let any government U.S. Canadian etc. interfere in private matters like marriage, birth or legitimacy.

And considering the elder Cruz and his trail of tall tall tales beginning in Cuba, anything is possible.

Is Senator Ted Cruz legitimate?

In any case, Ted not only has to show his Canadian Birth Certificate but also his parents legitimate Marriage Certificate if he wants to be President.

Otherwise all these points are moot.

Good luck Ted in your run for the White House in 2016.

Rafael Cruz’s, Ted Cruz’s Dad, Ugly Racist Rant Against the American President – The Ugly Immigrant Continues to Bite the Hand that has literally Fed Him for 56 years

Rafael Cruz Sr. if that is his real name, if he traveled to the U.S.A. on a forged Visa, by his own admission (half truth - half the story?) may have also been traveling on a forged Passport?

Forty Eight Years as a resident Alien in the USA, before he bothers to obtain US citizenship in order to ship his SS check offshore, minus the number of years as a resident Alien in Canada, itinerate Grifter, Pastor, Cuban racist Rafael Cruz wants Obama to go back to Kenya, implying that he was born there etc. coming out on the ugly racist Tea Party campaign video and audio tapes from his son’s election in Texas in 2012.

Like I have said before, the old man’s Horatio Alger’s success story in America excludes climbing over the bodies of people in business and maybe even dead bodies in the Cuban Revolution on both sides and possibly stealing their identity papers. Identity fraud was not invented yesterday. A Horatio Alger story totally unchallenged by Lame Stream Media. Take the old Tea Bag at his word. Yeah right.

With a rich and powerful family in a fancy Cuban city like Matanzas, the “Venice of Cuba” to get him out of trouble whatever that was, car theft, pimping, armed robbery, murder, you would think that young Rafael would have first traveled to the big Cuban Colony in Miami Florida, there even then before Castro in 1957.

Problem with that is that Cubans are also a small community. If you show up with papers calling yourself "John Rockefeller Junior", maybe some of the Cubans in Miami already know "John" and might know you are not who you say you are. Etc. Better to travel 1350 miles further west to Texas, land of tall tales?

I didn't find it too implausible, considering that this did take place in the 1950s (no faxes, e-mail or digital cameras), and I thought it possible and plausible that the people in question could assume someone else's identity, especially as their performances were being given for the benefit of people who hadn't seen the "original identity holders" in many years, if at all. -- ALS1, IMdB, Miss Marple, A Murder is Announced

Tears and Rain - James Blunt

Lyrics to Tears And Rain :

How I wish I could surrender my soul;

Shed the clothes that become my skin;

See the liar that burns within my needing.

How I wish I'd chosen darkness from cold.

How I wish I had screamed out loud,

Instead I've found no meaning.

I guess it's time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain,

All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.

Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.

I've heard what they say, but I'm not here for trouble.

It's more than just words: it's just tears and rain.

How I wish I could walk through the doors of my mind;

Hold memory close at hand,

Help me understand the years.

How I wish I could choose between Heaven and Hell.

How I wish I would save my soul.

I'm so cold from fear.

I guess it's time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain,

All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.

Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.

I've heard what they say, but I'm not here for trouble.

Far, far away; find comfort in pain.

All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.

It's more than just words: it's just tears and rain.

Halloween - Global Culture - Day of the Dead

There are traditions that transcend cultures. There are traditions that are adopted. There are traditions that get recycled through time.

The ancient Celtic New Year used to fall on November the first. There are ancient Celtic customs related to the harvest and coinciding with this date.

A Celtic celebration called Samhain used to center around the building of a bonfire on the Celtic New Year’s Eve on October 31. The people of a village would extinguish all fires in the village and take fire from the community bonfire to bring a new light from fire into the new year.

With the Celtic or Irish disaspora to America in the middle of the nineteenth century came the tradition of dressing up on Halloween first in religious costumes and later in monster chic.

The Brits, who have been greatly Americanized in these past decades, have found and adopted the “American” (Irish American) custom of Halloween and trick or treat. Many purists over there are disturbed that their traditional harvest festival bonfire thing on November 5 of Guy Fawkes Day has somehow been corrupted by yet another thing American.

Which came first? The religious holidays of All Saints day on November 1st and All Souls day on November 2 or the ancient pagan rituals associated with the Celtic New Year.

As in a grinding merger of cultures, it is hard to tell the truth of any given custom or tradition. In a way, globalization and driving toward a global culture have been ongoing for millennium.

I think we have the Celts first and then the Christian era trying to dominate and own dates on a calendar.

People of the Meso-American cultures of Mexico and Central America have their Dia de los Muertos – Day of the Dead customs around November 1 and 2. November 1 is for memory of babies and small children – angels – saints. November 2 is for memory of dead adult relatives - souls.

While the symbols of this holiday and its festivities are far from the Victorian or Puritanical customs of mourning, Meso-American culture treats respect and memory of the dead along with the needs and celebrations of the living. Families meet, clean up a relative’s gravesite, have a picnic there, tell family stories or even keep vigil through the night with candles and musica.

The human skull as symbol of death is not a feared symbol but a reminder of death which is part of a cycle of life perspective. The skull in Meso-American culture had been around for centuries before the Spanish and their imposed religion. In many ways I think that western culture and or Christian culture is a culture that greatly fears death and has great self-doubts about its mission statement. The conquered give lip service to their new masters and ancient customs such as Dia de los Muertos and Halloween go on and on.

I have spent the last thirty odd years practicing my own form of pagan respect, not ancestor worship. I light a candle before sunset on Halloween in honor of the Samhain custom and help the New Year in with new light. I also light a candle in my home on November 2 to remember long gone friends and relatives. I also in true Irish tradition and variation thereof have a shot or two of tequila in their honor.

The primary purpose of the Fourth Degree is to foster the spirit of patriotism by promoting responsible citizenship and a love of and loyalty to the Knights' respective countries through active membership in local Fourth Degree groups (called "assemblies"). Fourth Degree members must retain their membership as Third Degree members in their council to remain in good standing with the Fourth Degree....

Bearers of this emblem (wink,nod) are committed to conduct themselves honorably as Christian gentlemen in their private and public lives, as well as acting patriotically for the good of their nations. Likewise, the Fourth Degree sword represents the bearer's reverence for the Eucharist and the Pope, Bishops and hierarchy of the Church, and displays publicly his willingness to protect his Church and Priests.

John Wanamaker Department Store NYC - Astor Place - Grennwich Village, Broadway 8th Street to 9th Street

https://greenwichvillagehistory.wordpress.com/2012/12/05/wanamakers-department-store-the-2171-purchase/

Wanamaker’s business philosophy, which dominated the retail operations of his department store, relied on fixed prices and guaranteed customer satisfaction. His department store included the first in-store restaurant – now a staple at most department stores in New York City. Wanamaker is also believed to have invented the White Sale, a marketing strategy in which the store deeply discounts merchandise at a time when sales are slow. Wanamaker’s treatment of his employees was also revolutionary – he gave his employees free medical care, education, recreational facilities, pensions and profit-sharing plans before such benefits were considered standard. Wanamaker’s decision to link his store to the new subway can be seen as another revolutionary (and successful) effort.
