Thank you Dhorse.

its a individual responsibility and duty of one self to be carried by the current circus of smart cars suits and massive pay cheques , you are either for it or against it i for one see through the mist , as a say its a individual choice ?

Have you been asleep this last 35 years or do you
not get the results of elections in Northern Ireland
or do you just believe the pro British IRISH media

Yawn. Historians do NOT think that artisan. read Hopkinson, Campbell, even the light Fitzpatrick. Look at the witness statements in the Bureau of Military History. Read memoirs of the period. The common view was that people were voting for war. Thats an understood point.

And mr, mulligan. At what point have the IRA held the sway of the electorate? Only after they have stopped their campaign. Silly comment.

Agree with a lot of the rest of stuff written here.

Not really sure why you ask me,, everything has an element of individual choice,BUT with regard to the greater good.

Right back at you Eamonn Mulligan...although I don't really know what you meant by that. Has Patrique declared his political allegiance on this forum before? I haven't seen any post from him from which I could discern what party he supported. He's a Red though, that's for sure.

How the hell is it a silly comment when they have had people elected to Stormont,Westminster and the Dail Eireann long long before their campaign stopped.
As I said you must have been asleep and please let us know where you bought your bed obviously its very comfortable.

All I will say Seamus is that over a period of time the bould Patrique has got into a few sticky situations.lol

Hats off Mulligan, hats off. Stickies!

Hey Patrique, what do you think of your old colleague, or should I say comrade, Gilmore? Were you also a follower of Chairman Mao?

I never really took to Eamon. Pat (Rabbitte) was a great thinker and wonderful TD, and Eric Byrne was a gent, and a good man. The Labour party should have had Liz as leader as she was the most able of them all.


Mao? Like all right wing dictators, left a lot to be desired.

Ok, Patrique. You obviously haven't gone over to Labour like so many former revolutionaries. Fair play, fair play.

And as for Mao being right-wing...come on, he was a Communist. As a right-winger (who believes in democracy, I might add!), I'd never say Pinochet was a leftist. Don't be talking nonsense about Mao's political beliefs. He was as red as it gets.

When will the old Workers Party crowd in Labour demand the truth about the murder of Larry White in Cork ? Too close to one of their T.D.s for comfort ??

N16Calling (UK) - Posts: 260 - 17/01/2011 20:27:10    848295

What happened to Larry White? And when?

Personally, I despise the way RTE has swept the criminal past of the Workers Party/Modern Labour Party under the rug. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that so many RTE employees have Stickie pasts themselves...

It's high time the activities of these cannabis smoking, red flag waving, bearded, unwashed, wannabe revolutionaries were brought into the open...

Mao....red? Are ye raving mad? He was exactly the same as Hitler, Stalin, Castro and the rest of them. true Castro didn't kill as many, well, nobody killed as many as Mao.

If you want "reds" look at Sweden or Canada. At least they are socialist states.

Mind you, I sometimes wonder if communism would have worked if anyone had ever tried it, apart from the bloke they crucified 2,000 years ago. I doubt it, all that nonsense about everyone getting the same.

No socialism, like sweden, Norway, Canada and the rest, that seems to be the best.

You're mixing up communism with socialism. Communism(centralised capitalism) as practised by Mao, stalin etc was as right as one could get, with the possible exception of the Hierarchial system operated by the world's biggest institutuion. At least the commies had a sham election to elect the leaders. The more socialist driven countries seem to be headed up by monarchies oddly enough.
Any data coming through on "the" church's health delivery figures?
