    Well, the writer of the piece isn't exactly adhering to the truth, it strikes me that's she's trying to paint Ireland as the bogger capital Americans love to think of it as. Par example:

    Road signs, when the exist, never say "stop."
    I mean that's just rubbish. Has she actually been in Ireland?

    Plus of course she's used the alleged anti-americanism of Irish people to hypocritically attack the Irish, a common trait these days, although usually aimed more at Europeans in general.

    you just beat me to it troy. the unfrotunate consequence of the US having such a large population is that there's actually a market for the views of rednecks and morons. what a load of tripe

    All that was missing was some sh*t about "the mist upon the bogs" and a few references to leprachauns....

    The Republican-American is a newspaper in Waterbury, Connecticut. Nothing to do with the Republican Party if that is what you are inferring to.
