    Why the **** would we want to keep bear arms? Let the bears keep their arms.

    The freedom for neckbeards and oddballs to post scutter on the comments section of The Journal and Boards.ie about atheism and socialism is an indelible right.

    You are a fan of atheism and socialism but take issue with the quality of their comments, or....?

    The proclamation belongs to the Irish people, and no Irish government (not least the current lot) have any right or business altering it.

    Yes but I'm sure "Of the people, for themselves", was never part of the deal?

    The "current lot" are the democratically elected government of the people of Ireland. And to fine tune it further Fine Gael have the highest mandate in the country. Or do those voters not count in your world?

    Do you have any opinions, other than the opposite of anything that you perceive as overtly Irish or nationalistic?

    What do you mean by nationalistic?

    My opinion is Ireland is best served by the economic system of social capitalism - not socialism or marxism. As for everything else, love it - no problem. You don't have to be socialist to be republican.

    The leader Enda is to have the government draft a new proclamation for 2016.

    Not before time in my opinion. We can get rid of the old communist and pie in the sky guff in the old one.

    So what should be in it?
    I propose this. Word for word, just switch out America and United States for Ireland.

    How much bearing does the proclamation have on the modern constitution?

    The constitution would have been originally drafted in 1937, so surely the proclamation wouldn't have any official significance constitutionally, though obviously it has some cultural significance despite the contemporary lack of popularity for the Rising.

    The sheer arrogance of the man. Neither he nor his flunkies have the right to lick the mud off the boots of the publishers of the original proclamation. We don't need a new one, the old one hasnt yet been fullfilled.

    Someone please tell him to stop meddling and keep his greasy election focussed paws out of a solemn non-partisan event.
    I really do think some people worship the proclemation, it's more than a bit weird to be honest. :D
