Not just the Irish

From the "Gates of Vienna" blog, which I highly recommend:

"Irish universities have been hijacked by a bunch of left-wing ideologues, for whom national loyalty is a cardinal sin. Like those on the Titanic, they prefer to party on while the ship sinks."

Having been in Ireland many times when I worked for Apple and Claris, this is a truism.
Having been in and near one or two universities in this country, it's just as true here.
What was that band playing as the Titanic went down? Nearer my God to Thee?
Nope, won't do. Deist. Christian.
Surely the Left will demand that French anthem, or the Communist one...
The Horst Wessel Lied would more closely fit their behavior, if not their politics, however.
