They are against democracy, therefore they wish to destroy it! Of course, they will use democracy in order to destroy it.
The IRA is not waging a war against Irish democracy. If it is, it is the most low level, unintensive, down right dull sitzkrieg in recorded history.
They are engaging in a criminal conspiracy against the Irish Republic. If you pick up an Irish newspaper, such as the Sunday Independent or the Sunday World, you will read that, in fact a search here on FR will show threads relating to the IRA conspiracy.
No. The IRA knows it will never overthrow any government and has made that plain in its halting entrance into a political deal with Britain over the last 15 years. You can shout “conspiracy” all you want, but Ireland is safe from any significant move by the IRA.
The Weimer Republic was safe from Hitler!
The first three most certainly. Al Qaida? Doubtful.
So they make deals with fellow demons, but draw the line with the Devil himself, sure.
Probably true. They will cozy up to anyone who can further their cause. We would do the same if we thought it necessary.
I see no necessity here, in fact no necessity for the IRA.
You seem to be the only crybaby here. You are whinning and whinning in post after post. Be an adult for Pete’s sake. If you’re modern Ireland then YOU WILL LOSE to the IRA with that childish attitude of yours.
Excuse me for getting angry at a terrorist organization attacking members of the Irish police and the general public on our country's main thoroughfare, excuse me for getting angry at those who make excuses about it.

They are still not fighting a war against democracy. You can twist and turn all you like, but that fact is obvious by their own participation in elections (no matter how self-serving).
“They are engaging in a criminal conspiracy against the Irish Republic. If you pick up an Irish newspaper, such as the Sunday Independent or the Sunday World, you will read that, in fact a search here on FR will show threads relating to the IRA conspiracy.”
Your “conspiracy” does not a war make. Again, can twist and turn all you like, but the IRA is not doing anything to overthrow Irish democracy nor could it do much of anything against Irish democracy.
“The Weimer Republic was safe from Hitler!”
Clearly it was not. But we are not talking about the Weimar Republic (which faced numerous challenges while Ireland faces nothing of the kind) nor Hitler (who led millions of party members and street thugs).
“So they make deals with fellow demons, but draw the line with the Devil himself, sure.”
No. The chances of the IRA even having contact with Al Qaeda are simply minimal. Not impossible. Just minimal. It is doubtful that there is any relationship between the two.
“I see no necessity here, in fact no necessity for the IRA.”
Clearly many Irish disagree with you.
“Excuse me for getting angry at a terrorist organization attacking members of the Irish police and the general public on our country's main thoroughfare, excuse me for getting angry at those who make excuses about it.”
That isn’t what you’re doing. You are whinning like a hurt little girl as you are stomped on in post after post. You are not showing anyone what you claim. Instead you are simply embarrassing yourself. I also never once made any excuses for the IRA.
