\"shamPipeN\"  In an NYT<\/EM> op-ed piece today “<\/FONT>Don’t Parade, Just Go Vote<\/FONT><\/A>,” Thomas Fleming speaks <\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/DIV>
\n
of the history of the Irish <\/SPAN>in America as different from those back in their homeland.  Fleming <\/SPAN><\/FONT><\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
says “But threaded <\/SPAN>through it is the triumph of a defeated people who used America’s <\/SPAN><\/FONT><\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
freedom to win their <\/SPAN>share of pride and prosperity.”  His main point is  “I hope we never <\/SPAN><\/FONT><\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
forget the importance <\/SPAN>of Election Day.”    <\/SPAN><\/FONT><\/FONT><\/DIV>
