The Irish were considered lazy, lacking in intelligence and fit only for manual labor. These smears, meant to divide and conquer, were used against every immigrant group that landed on our shores and have become integrated into our collective unconscious, so as to be spat out reflexively by our lesser selves. <br /><br />Ryan suffers from both historical amnesia and a lack of the practical knowledge of economics, made worse by a brain inflammation caused by his obsession with Ayn Rand. Warning: If you read Ayn Rand and find that you aren't laughing, seek help immediately. There should really be a telephone hotline for this terrible affliction.Garethnoreply@blogger.com
