Always marvel at the po faced sensitivity and hysterical outrage you habitually mine from every post while happily defending and promoting Sinn Fein who have a very particular "outlook" on the life of fellow citizens if it suits them

You cannot shirk this off by claiming it was in the past. Unless you are going to be a hypocrite that is. I am glad the IRA are gone and that the war/conflict is over but I don't see them as any different to those who fought for the foundation of the state we have.

You can see now why the North is worse then the south.

You went to say the children and babies of Unionists and people who would identify themselves as British to be 'Irish'..... Get them young, like the RCC say all the time.

markodaly wrote: » FrancieBrady wrote: » Sunningdale was collapsed by Unionists Sunningdale was also 100% opposed by the IRA and SF at the time because the IRA/SF wanted to continue the primary objective of their campaign. Fight and kill people to force a UI by murder and violence. That was the primary objective by the PIRA/SF since the late '60s and they only changed their mind on this objective late into the '90s. SF/PIRA were the slowest learners of the lot of them. We can conclude Sunningdale was not the answer then. Hume and the rest were wasting their time.

Sinn Féin president Mary Lou McDonald told a State watchdog it had no authority to scrutinise donations made to the party in Northern Ireland on the grounds that Sinn Féin operated on “a six- and 26-county basis”,

Says you wouldn't actually believe how stupid some of the new SF TDs are. One or two of them have already been the subject of some 'debate' around here, but he said at least 10-15 of them are sub Healy-Rae.

Who the **** 'claims babies and children into a tribe' in this day and age?
markodaly wrote: » In a SF thread, deflect and talk about FG... par of the course. You avoided the question, why did SF change their mind 3 times the past week on the course of action. Instead of trying to lead and SF are just the same old people on the sidelines commenting on everything that is wrong, yet offering no leadership on an alternative course of action... All the while the North is one of Europes worst hot spots.. Couldnt make it up to be honest. SF is the gift that keeps on giving, for their two-faced hypocrisy.

Can you imagine them running the country? It would certainly make the young people who vote for them in their nativity sit up and take notice. That vote they got is as a soft a spring morning. A few months of SF in government with some of those yokes at the helm, their poll numbers will be worse than FF!!
