The only thing that ever bugged me about St. Patrick's Day was when I worked on Central Park South and the spillover from the parade on 5th Avenue crowd would stink the streets and subways up with beer and urine. They really trashed what is a relatively clean and very upscale part of the city. I'd always opt for the day off when the holiday fell out on a weekday.
They just hate Christianity (like all liberals), but were too dumb to realize that St. Patrick was a real saint and not a Leprechaun who just wanted to get drunk.
Seriously? You're going with that stupid remark?
Do you know anything at all about St. Patrick? Do you know:
He used a shamrock as an illustration to the pagans of the Holy Trinity?
That he was a captive slave?
That he was not native to Ireland?

For the same reason you don't refuse to call the fourth day of the work-week Thursday (ie, Thor's Day), you brain-dead simpleton. In other words, you're so idiotic you can't distinguish between religious days (Christmas) and days what have no more to do with religion than does calling a day Thursday (ie, St. Patrick's Day).
Atheists are always protesting Christmas but not St. Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, All Saint's Day (a.k.a. Halloween) or Easter. And they never protest any of the Jewish or Muslim holidays. Why is that?
It's the Pagan parts of Easter and Halloween that most non-Christians enjoy about those holidays. Scary costumes, pumpkins and painted eggs have zero to do with Jesus or saints. I don't see too many Jews having hissy fits if symbols of Judiaism are not placed in public places during the their holidays and I think we can say the same thing for Muslims as pertaining to their holidays.
