Occupy chases snakes from Colorado Springs 2012 St. Patrick’s Day Parade
OCCUPIED COLORADO SPRINGS- March 17 St Patricks Day parade.

Onward Christian Cowards
You can hold forums attended by the faithful, or beat your breast where only the choir can hear, but when there’s a crowd, you’re a regular shrinking violet. The meek don’t inherit the earth, they inherit the dirt. Last Saturday … Continue reading

Ireland did not like occupation either
I think there’s an interesting St Patrick’s Day theme in the making… Americans have always opposed occupation. Irish Americans supported the IRA’s fight against the British. And wasn’t our first mantra “Don’t Tread on Me?”

Speaking for the city speaking for Army
