POPS"To Hell or to Connaught" Ethnic Cleansing 17th Century style
The Irish recognise modern day ethnic cleansing because we have a long tradition of real ethnic cleansing like as practices by the Zionist on the modern Irish, the Palestinians. Ours is no false myth either. Like our Famine, detailed records are there for all to see. We were dragged into the English Civil War. Being neutral was as guilty as being on the King's side. We were required to give up our faith to have ant chance of retaining residence. This is not to rehash history or beat up on the bad Brits as most good Brits have Irish blood somewhere. It's to indicated that the 'victim' race have by no means a right to their beloved victimhood. We Irish have risen from the equal of black slaves to our present elevated position when we gave up the begging bowl and stood tall. 60 years of independence has made the Zionists the least loved nation on earth. Only what Bush did with the World's goodwill for the USA post 9/11 is on a par with what Israel has achieved with its reputation i

POPSCRUCIFIXES Banned. Irish Heads Wailing under Attack by Settler. Catholic, Anglican, Presbyterian and Methodist all get shabby treatment from the Zionists. Banned from wearing their crucifixes by a Nazi settler. "After seven or eight minutes, Dr Younan said Archbishop of Armagh Cardinal Seán Brady decided that he could not risk a confrontation with the settler." ...RTE Why are we waiting? For one disgruntled settler. Smacks of setup to me

POPSThe YANKS Deserved THANKS. A prosperous Ireland provides the model of how peace should be done without invasion or regime change. What worked. Essentially your stick was bigger than the UK stick. Clinton's assertion that Northern Ireland could no longer be treated as internal only and so achieved justice and civil right for ALL in the North and not just the privileged that controlled the apartheid statelet. We Irish don't do bullshit. Those words of out PM were meant, truly. Thanks America on behalf of the 40 million Irish-Americans and the millions back here.

POPSAn Irish Blessing! I am Irish, and find a connection to this quote. I think also it is very simple, and is something I would like to share with my daughter, she is only 4-years old, and she would think it was beautiful!

POPSFlag Pin Festish The flag fetish strikes me as a case of Protesting Too Much. If you’re confident in your possession of something, you don’t have to wear it on your sleeve, your gable, your bumper, or your T-shirt. In fact, the latter used to be considered disrespectful, a kind of desecration. Americans live surrounded by other Americans; there’s no need for a show of defiance. We’re not like the English and the French, who fought one another for centuries, still have cultural misunderstandings, and can see each other’s countries on a clear day. So why this bravado, even insecurity, which I think must lie beneath gratuitious, context-free displays of patriotic devotion
