My Great-Grandfather was full-blooded Irish, so that makes me about as Irish as an American can be. The only valid source I have for info would be family that live there.
(One Great Aunt in Dublin, and several cousins in Dublin, AND in Belfast.) Both Catholic, AND Protestant. I use the term "Orange" to describe Pro-English Irish. My family has no problem with a seperate Northern Ireland as long as the English stay out...And yes, I know the difference between British, English, UK, etc. I really have no hatred for any group, but I don't like people labeling the IRA as bloody terrorists, when in fact the Ulster Orange Groups were just as bloody.
Which means you are as Irish as me. In other words you are not.
I use the term "Orange" to describe Pro-English Irish.
So if you are pro-English you are "scum"? Disgusting comment.
I don't like people labeling the IRA as bloody terrorists...
Why not? They are bloody terrorists.
when in fact the Ulster Orange Groups were just as bloody.
To be specific, the Orange Paramilitaries where just as bloody. Yes, they are bloody terrorists who really ARE scum. Who said any different?
Separate the myths from reality.
