We are still six cards short of a deck and don't even rule all of Ireland!! I say we because my family is from Cork yet the fact is I don't really care about any of it. I'm born here and it is the US that I care about.
Well really when you think about it, those protestants in the north are still irish and they "choose" to pledge allegiance to the brits. My family is from South Armagh. We call those people in the north traitors because they want to be ruled by the union jack.
