→John McCain: A vision.
"The so-called Irish temperament is a mixture of flaming ego, hot temper, stubbornness, great personal charm and warmth, and a wit that shines through adversity. An irrepressible buoyancy, a vivacious spirit, a kindliness and tolerance for the common frailties of man and a feeling that 'it is time enough to bid the devil good morning when you meet him' are character traits which Americans have associated with their Irish neighbors for more than a century." - Dr. Carl Wittke, Chair, History Department, Western Reserve University, 1952-1962.[https://lasvegassun.com/news/1997/mar/17/where-i-stand-irish-a-mix-of-ego-stubbornness-grea/][https://immigration.procon.org/view.source.php?sourceID=008659] [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 01:15, 2 June 2018 (EDT)

:OK, you win. I've also been told that the Irish are known for their humor. In any case, well played, sir! [[User:SamHB|SamHB]] ([[User talk:SamHB|talk]]) 01:32, 2 June 2018 (EDT)

::My sincerest dream for America is that we can once again have a sane and realistic enough public discourse to admit that we can, at least partially, attribute somebody's temper to their Irish heritage. And that, yes, [[Valerie Jarrett]] really does look like that one monkey lady from ''Planet of the Apes''. [[User:VargasMilan|VargasMilan]] ([[User talk:VargasMilan|talk]]) 02:51, 2 June 2018 (EDT)
