Respectfully, that ignores all of Irish history. The threat to Ireland’s freedom came from England, and from England alone. The EU didn’t commit genocide in Ireland, England did. The EU didn’t persecute the Church in Ireland, England did. The EU didn’t steal the food from the mouths of starving children, England did. God is just. England will die, as all tyrants do. God’s destruction of England may come from Muslim infiltration, which is something I never even suspected could happen until recently. But it looks increasingly likely. Like I say, one can only hope.

You may be surprised to learn that a great deal of that is propaganda, and especially Communist propaganda (not to mention bolstered by the Nazis). But by all means, keep believing what they say, at the expense of your credibility. And keep resembling an Obama supporter in that vein, what with this active undermining of the “special relationship”.

I lived in Ireland; did you? Are you going to presume a greater knowledge of Irish history? They never tell you about the Irish Constitution’s Third Amendment in Ireland’s schools, which places European law supreme over Irish domestic law. Eamon de Valera signed that one into law in 1972; and he always claimed to have been fighting for Irish independence, not to sell out Ireland to a worse empire than the British Empire (which, for the record, Ireland was not forced to join). Furthermore, Irish MPs in the British Empire were highly influential over that empire’s policy; in the European Union, no MEP ever influences the agenda (they have no legislative initiative) and all members of the Commission have to swear an oath to uphold the European agenda at the expense of the good of their home countries.

Most of the rebels in the 1916 “Rising” were Communists. I’m glad they never seized power in that country, otherwise Ireland would have had to suffer far worse bloodshed than what they brought upon themselves in any other rebellion.

And for the record, it was an Irish provincial king that subjected Ireland to the rule of England in the first place: Diarmaid Mac Murchadha (a polygamist, per Brehon laws) swore fealty to Henry II in order to get his kingship of Leinster back after High King Ruadhraí Ua Conchubhair deposed him for kidnapping the daughter of the king of Breifne. In addition to that, the annexation of Ireland by England was authorized by Pope Adrian IV, wherein said pope granted Henry II lordship of Ireland.
