Entry: A Meditation for Guy Fawkes Day Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/a_meditation_for_guy_fawkes_day#8425 Post contents: @John About your comments aobut Ireland, pray remember the potato famine when England stood impassible while a million of Irish people, who had been made to accept her authority by force of arms, starved to death, and another million had to emigrate in horrible conditions with only the clothes on their back. England then said that saving the Irish was against the laws of the free market, and that it was a good thing that the land was cleared of its surplus population. You may not like Joe Kennedy, but as the child of those inmigrants who knew that for England they counted as less than nothing, did you really him expect to send his sons to be killed for the sake of that England that had thrown his parents away like garbage? Of course, there were other factors in World War II, but it would be unfair to ask Kennedy to care about them. And if you do not like what those inmigrants did to the American political process, then get mad at England for dumping them on you, because it wanted the land cleared of it excess population. As for the reasons the Spaniards stopped the Turks, the fact was that they did it, which is more than can be said for the Protestants, who just sat on their duffs, hoping that the spaniards would get the chestnuts out of the fire for them.
