n analog would be I suppose if Northerners traveled to Vicksburg* every July 4, marched in Union Regalia and maybe hung a few rebels in effigy while they were at it.

I'm no Civil War scholar, but from my understanding of what happened in Vicksburg a commemorative bombardment from the Mississippi would be more appropriate.

frothingly insane Cuban expatriates

I don't really think this representation of those involved denotes a level-headed view of the situation.

Probably true. The moderate ones are probably just slaveringly insane.

Christ, if I were Ozzie I'd be strongly tempted to tell Loria to take his job and shove it. This trumps every overreaction to an impromptu comment I've ever seen.

*It's a poor analog, the losers in the Battle of the Boyne had a good and legitimate cause- the losers at Vicksburg, not so much.

Yes. James II was the rightful king of England. His protestant subjects rebelled against him and installed a foreign usurper. The Royal Navy committed high treason en masse, refusing to block the Dutch crossing.

I laugh when the British claim never to have been invaded since 1066. 1688 was an invasion, complete with Dutch occupying troops.

Plus the English treatment of Catholics (Irish, English and Scots) from 1600-1775 ranks as far worse than anything the Spanish Inquisition thought up on their worst day. Unfortunately, the WASPs wrote our history books in the US.

"like the practice that existed until about 25-30 years ago the Catholic Church would steal children from mothers because of a moral judgment about the mother"

Can you provide link or source regarding this practice being common in the USA? A quick search I did finds references to Spain and UK, but nothing regarding the USA.
