Saint Patrick was not Irish
This is the time of the year when I remind everyone that Saint Patrick
was not Irish, he was Roman. Two Latin letters survive which are generally accepted to have been written by Patrick. These are the Declaration (Latin: Confessio) and the Letter to the soldiers of Coroticus (Latin: Epistola). The Declaration is the more important of the two. In it Patrick gives a short account of his life and his mission. His parents were Calphurnius and Conchessa. The former belonged to a Roman family of high rank and held the office of decurio in Gaul or Britain. Conchessa was a near relative of the great patron of Gaul, St Martin of Tours. In or about his sixteenth year, Patrick was carried into captivity by marauders and was sold as a slave to an Irish chieftan named Milchu in Dalriada, an area in present-day county Antrim. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Vote for Palin-Brown in 2012. Repeal the nightmares. |

this crap: And Atilla was not Hungarian. So what? Both are heroes of their respective adoptive peoples. Attila, (correct spelling), was the leader of the Huns. Yes, I know the Huns gave their name to Hungary, but the Magyar people were/are not Huns. The Magyars called their country, "Magyar." Others who called them Huns named their country, "Hungary." And this has nothing to do with Saint Patrick or Ireland. Vote for Palin-Brown in 2012. Repeal the nightmares. This signature is now the ultimate power in the universe |

Well no, but it does have something to do with impugning someone's national heroes.
