Ireland sure went down fast. Just a few decades ago it was a staunchly Catholic country.

I just read this essay over at Gates of Vienna blog -

Lies and Liars which has some relevant thoughts for consideration...(some):

"Socialism is at best an experiment in social engineering with many failures and NO successes. It is an attempt to replace the obvious superiority of Judeo-Christianity with a man-made equivalent. In reality it is just the Newspeak term for ancient feudalism.

Islam was nothing but an early pre-Marxian form of violent socialism, where the (working) middle-class victims were robbed in the short order instead of by a long drawn-out con trick, as is true of Marxism today. The effect, more a thousand years ago, was disastrous desertification as the middle class generators of wealth evaporated, taking the skilled farming and irrigation skills with them. General productivity dropped to nothing, so that looting, mayhem and constant wars of expansion (Jihad) were the only lucrative industries.

The Islamic revolution turned a land flowing with milk and honey into the arid wasteland that was so emotionally described by Mark Twain. Judeo-Christianity has reversed the process in the last 100 years, and the forces of both modern and ancient socialism are not happy about it.

Socialism is a political religion of parasitism, and always eventually kills its host through financial paralysis. Redistribution of wealth means removing that necessity which is the mother of invention. Thus, the creativity that powers wealth creation is aborted to pay for the inertia of the unwilling."

There is a thing the socialists call ‘white supremacy’, and in their view it is unfair and wrong. But that same ‘white supremacy’ was hard-earned in a hostile environment. When one is obsessed with race, one tends to see everything through the lenses of ‘race’ and ‘equality’. Hence the idea of ‘white supremacy’ as a pejorative explanation of the obviousness of white supremacy. But what if there is a somewhat more rational explanation of the fact of white supremacy? What if it is a product of culture and good law, well-enforced, and not race and inequality?

Shared White Supremacy has benefited the whole world enormously. It has lifted many parts of the world out of the squalor of feudalism into a more beneficial and civilised existence. In many cases white supremacy led the way to a betterment of life for all. It is/was not perfect, and some cultures resisted because it was also the beacon of Judeo-Christian achievement.

White Supremacy is epitomised mainly by Christianity (or the vestiges of it), and along with the automobile and washing machines came the missionaries. Here in Israel ‘missionary’ is almost a swear-word, and describes those evangelical Christians who prefer to preach to Jews rather than attend to the obvious problems in their own countries. But these Christians are nowhere near as bad for the country as those who come preaching Mohammed and Marx.

Point being . . .Wherever Islam is tolerated, Christianity fades/succumbs. Ireland, Scotland. . .the entire UK illustrates this fact. It wasn't that long ago I read about Prince Charles wish to alter his title - from Protector of the Faith to Protector of Faiths. His ignorance and tolerance/love of exotic Islam likely enabled the persistent dumbing down of his nation to the degree of it's current suicidal tolerance of Islam and it's deadly progeny.

Gaining????? TOTALLY evident when I lived there in the 90’s. Played for a contemporary worship group at my local church at the time. In a job interview.....Oh, you’re one of “THOSE” when perusing my CV. Unreal.

Also in other job interviews discriminated because I was young and newly married. (may get pregnant).
