Martin Sheen proud of uncle's IRA past

[IAN 2411]

I

Or English troops killing your family, just because you happen to be Irish.

I am at a loss to understand that statement

Or, English settlers putting a price tag on your head, just because you're an aborigine living in Tasmania.
Look, Ian, the brits have fucked so many millions of people up their arse over the years, they shouldn't cry murder too loud when somebody shoots back.
I don't say it's right what the IRA did, but there are a lot of people could say the same about you when you say "I'm proud to be Brit."

There is a big difference when saying you’re proud to be American/English/Swiss/Any Country. To be related to a terrorist group and be proud? I would also like to point out if you haven’t been reading the papers, the IRA are still a terrorist group and are still active. They are over in foreign countries, and they are training Al Quada. They are training them to blow up anything that does not conform to their fanatical Muslim ideal. The IRA, only know how to kill and now there is an end to the violence in Province, they have decided to bring their war to the mainland. Teaching their disgusting trade of violence to people that don’t give a damn whether you are Brit, Swiss or American or any other European national. They can only see the infidel, and a person that will not bow down to Allah that has to be destroyed any, which-way.

I am proud to be a Brit, but I don’t have to be proud of the way things were done by the English a hundred or more years before I was born. I would like to point out as well that neither do I care because it stopped a long time before I was born. [The IRA, have not]

There is not a Kenyan that would hold his/her hand up and say they were proud to have ancestors fighting in the Mau-Mau.

I doubt either that you would find any Irish person say they were proud to be related to IRA scum, because the IRA were as wicked to their own, as much, if not more, than they were with the British soldier.

The difference is Barrack Obama and Martin Sheen, by saying such insulting things to Joe public, thinks it makes them look stronger than the small person they really are. They are with the privileged few that get where they are on the backs of others beliefs and money, and should show more respect.

However, lucy...I do understand what you are saying and your points are valid.

Be well IAN 2411
