Feminists Hijack History to Fit a Narrative

Saint Patrick’s day is a holiday filled with history and traditions. From green beer and rivers to corned beef and cabbage, the traditions are plentiful. People proudly say “Kiss me, I’m Irish.” This phrase is everywhere during the holiday. Whether it be a t-shirt, a button or a mug, those celebrating like to sport these four words.

Nowadays, the Left is hijacking everything from events to statues. They keep turning it into something it was never intended to be. For example, the left spray painted “#MeToo” on the iconic statue in Florida of a sailor kissing a dental assistant at the end of WWII. This statue depicts a Sailor who is celebrating the end of the war.

He grabs one of the nurses and kisses her. The woman in the picture/statue said “But it wasn’t a romantic event. It was just an event of ‘thank God the war is over’ kind of thing because it was right in front of the sign.” She was interviewed in 2005.

So many historic events have been taken over by the left to fit a narrative they want to push. Before the left tries to steal another innocent tradition and turn it into a cornerstone for their #MeToo movement, let’s take a look at the history behind this iconic phrase “Kiss Me, I’m Irish.”

Kiss Me, I’m Irish- Where Did It Come From?

There are a lot of stories about Irish and luck. Four leaf clovers, leprechauns, and more have roots in “the luck of the Irish.” The phrase “Kiss me, I’m Irish” has similar roots. It’s origins go back to a stone in Blarney Castle. According to Ancetrsy.com, the legend states that kissing the stone “will give you the power of eloquent and persuasive speech.”

There are a couple of stories that this may be based on. Regardless of where the story originated, it is a long-held belief. As a result, the stone gets millions of visitors each year. In the same regard, the luck of the stone may be the ‘luck of the Irish’. The resulting belief is that kissing an Irish person will bring you good luck!
