What is it with the Irish and booze, anyhow?

Contrary to one poster's lie, General Robert E. Lee did not give his sword to the drunkard surnamed Grant. Instead, that sot said something like "Nice Sword!" to which General Lee replied, "Yes, it is" and walked out to call for his horse.
Lee was not defeated, ever, once he was supreme military commander (following the West Virginia campaign when he was a colonel.) Lee DID withdraw from stalemates twice (Gettsburg and Petersburg) and finally--out of compassion for his sturdy and equally undefeated veteran soldiers--simply decided to not fight any longer and walked away from it all, just as his army did as well.
Oh--and bad timing on that last withdrawal (Petersburg). Lincoln had sent a team to the drunkard's camp that same night to negoiate an truce leading to a treaty of peace.
One day more, and the Confederacy would have achieved its independence in the SECOND American War of Independence.
Check it out, tool.

STORMY KNIGHT--The sound of intoxication is "hic".
"Hick" is an insult. I will overlook it these four times as just a slip of the middle finger/right hand FOUR times. And I'm sure there is no hidden meaning in the selection of THAT finger, FOUR TIMES, either.
And.... and..... and, wanna fight, dude?

Yes- we should celebrate by raising *hick* our glasses high and sing *hick* songs of triumphant elation *hick* in honor of our esteemed *hick* senator.
I'm Irish but I don't drink a lot. When I do I prefer Scotch which is also part of my heritage. Not all Irish are drunks but we are all hot heads you limey piece of gutter tripe!!! See what I mean? It just slips *hick* out!!! lol

And it didn't make all the national papers. I don't think this has ever happened before and the liberal media did not proclaim this a national holiday. Shocking!
I am part Irish and ONLY drink socially but when I am being social - there is nothing better than Bailey's Irish Cream!

General Grant enjoyed taking "Lee's sword" at Appomattox. Congratulations for backing the wrong team yet again!

I am Irish and an ex alcoholic drinker. Your comment sucks mostly because of your vitrolic nature, but also because of your lack of knowledge on the subject.
