You just exposed the real truth about those who preach tolerance: you really want everyone to be the same (teach them that there aren't any differences? Are you really serious???)<br /><br />And by the way, yes, Obama was in Ireland (I'm pretty sure we all knew that but thank you for being so generous in pointing it out for us) -- but you missed the obvious point Julie made: that Obama was exposing his real feelings toward religious institutions - period, and it's no stretch of the imagination that he feels that way in America too (just look at the HHS mandate). But he's too chicken to come right out and attack Catholic schoos so blatantly in the US - for now. And I'm sure you know that even in Ireland, the schools don't cause the strife (did you even read Julie's post - or anything about the world, for that matter?). Sorry that the whole thing, like, totally went over, like, your head, y'know?? Unbelievable.<br /><br />Mikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345263705289926344.post-32806903433686928832013-06-24T15:02:15.614-04:002013-06-24T15:02:15.614-04:00What?

Protestants were stronger supporters of the political party that supported Northern Ireland remaining part of the UK, while the Catholics wanted a united Ireland. I do believe things are better than they were in the 1960s and especially after the Belfast Agreement, but there is still some division.<br /><br />Here's one Irish telling of the remarks our President said: http://www.irishcentral.com/story/news/people_and_politics/accusation-by-sean-hannity-and-others-that-obama-anti-catholic-is-nonsense---taking-catholic-remarks-in-northern-ireland-utterly-out-of-context-is-plain-wrong-212660251.html<br /><br />And I agree that instead of separating the children IN Ireland into two separate schools that have different beliefs, have them go to the same school so they can learn that there aren't any differences between them. Obama said nothing about American schooling, since he was in, y'know, Ireland.Annenoreply@blogger.com
