I'm 100% Irish and the pagans can suck my dick. For that matter so can the Catholics...and the Protestants...and the Buddhists...etc I never leave home without my green. I've got a celtic cross in a celtic knot (the shield of destiny) tattood on my upper left arm.
St. Patrick's day is a celebration of being Irish, which for all of the rest of the year isn't such a great thing. It's a great excuse to have more than a few drinks with your friends, sing Irish songs, and beat up the English.
Nobody gives a shit about St. Patrick himself, the pagans who were in Ireland before, etc.
It's a party. Stop being a drain on the fun and enjoy yourself. I've been working my ass off at the new job (60 hrs per week) plus doing a lot of work for the Libertarian Party since elected to the executive committee for the entire state of California and becoming the chairman of the candidate support committee. This means I've had to postpone MY St. Patrick's day to the weekend. I'm considering drinking a few Irish car bombs and washing them down with a few pints of Guinness.
