It was cofounded by two women and another man, hes no longer with the organization. At the time i did the interview, five out of the six national coordinate beers were women. And coordinators were women. And this is a group that is not a gender tea party group, this is Just Tea Party patriots, sort of a straightforward tea party organization. So my sense of talking to people in the tea party is there are lots of women leaders. In fact, they encourage more women to get involved in the tea party. And, in fact, many women that i spoke with thought that it was a far more open, hospitable place to become a leader than, say, the Republican Party.

Mitchell would write in the newspaper, meagher would give speeches in front of thousands of people. They were very close. Mitchell finally comes to america as well, but he likes slavery. Something happens in him that he sees slavery as not a bad thing. He writes in his own newspaper that if you irishmen are coming to america looking for a start, get yourself a couple of slaves and come south. And so meagher and he, his other people, break with mitchell. Mitchell has three boys. Two of them were on the other side of that wall when the irish stormed marys heights. So there was not a technical irish brigade in the confederacy, but there certainly were irish who fought on the other side, including the very people who were the kids of his best friends.
