When the fight was there to be won ye were hiding under the bed from the UVF. The fight was won in the deep south because we didnât hide under the bed.
They didnât lick it off a stone.

You seem to have very poor knowledge of history. Ulster has traditonally being the most Irish part of Ireland and the most resistant to colonialism.

Theyâre merely falling into line with their parents- a line drawn by their former colonial masters and still adopted willingly, subserviently and unnecessarily.
Irish lite.

Unfortunately this is a very sad reality in the 26.
You have scores of people ashamed of their heritage after decades of colonial assimilation.
Itâs a low grade weak minded outlook which would otherwise find expression in another form of prejudice.
But theyâre a minority
Theyâre not. Theyâre on an even keel at least, if not a majority⌠Dublin - forget it. Gone⌠Large swathes of Limerick, Cork, Galway, Waterford and any large urban centre the same.
They have forgotten the face of their father.
_â Heritage â donât pay the bills.
Why do you say that?
Life experience.
â OâConnell used to call us the âfinest peasantry in Europeâ. Unfortunately, he took little care
that we should remain so. We must teach ourselves to be less sensitive, we must teach ourselves not
to be ashamed of ourselves, because the Gaelic people can never produce its best before the world
as long as it remains tied to the apron-strings of another race and another island, waiting for it to
move before it will venture to take any step itself.â

Maybe youâre right but I donât think thereâll be too much drama at the windings. Gradually, naturally and inevitably. Then weâll wonder what all the fuss was about
Where did all that go between 1919 to 1921? When Tom Barry and Liam Lynch in Cork and SeĂĄn Finn in Limerick, Breen and Tracey and the boys in Tipp were crying out for the other parts of the country to at least try to distract the Brits for a while to give them a breather? Jesus didnât even the Dubs play their part. Where were ye then?? Frightened of the UVF?
