That's not how I would usually consider things to stand, but I suppose you could make a case for it.Grimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07543082562999855432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-64298218926029451502017-03-20T09:00:56.809-04:002017-03-20T09:00:56.809-04:00That was my first-glance reaction as well.

He was taken by slavers as a child from his home in Britain, it's true. But after several years of bondage, he escaped, made it back to Britain and became a priest. Then he returned again to Ireland (by his own choice this time) and performed the deeds that he is revered for today.<br /><br />But I agree, it does make something of a sticky wicket for those who want to praise Prime Minister Kenny and condemn Dr. Carson. Not that the cognitive dissonance will trouble those folks at all.MikeDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08116809134355184859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-66494459103771529852017-03-17T16:16:18.199-04:002017-03-17T16:16:18.199-04:00"St Patrick was an immigrant"
