Listen, You Catholic-Baiting Bastards . . .

Stop Googling my orange, if you're going to use it for the wrong reasons. I ran a picture of an orange to support the Ukrainians—not to take sides in the Irish troubles.

And take it from a Methodist girl who converted to Catholicism: using any form of Christianity as an excuse to beat up or harrass others is not exactly What Jesus Would Do.

Stop killing and intimidating each other. Keep on your leaders to tone down their rhetoric. (Yes: I'm talking about Ian Paisley.)

If the descendants of slaves here in America can live side-by-side with those whose ancesters ran plantations, you can probably manage power-sharing in Northern Ireland. And in case you hadn't noticed, the Liberal Democratic tradition is under attack in all its forms: you have bigger problems now than you have for the last few hundred years.

Pray for your enemies. Pray for peace. And ease the fuck up.

An End to "The Troubles"?

I'm not holding my breath. Not if Ian Paisley is still involved.

But there's a little bit of hope about the situation in Northern Ireland.

Pray for peace there. It's possible.

The Irish-Haters in Ireland

All over the rest of the world, Catholics and Protestants are able to make common cause on all kinds of issues. All over the civilized world, priorities have shifted and people are united against Islamo-fascism.

But not in Northern Ireland, where the attitude is one of preaching hate and passing it along to their children.

It's the "lite" version of Palestinian culture, with poisonous attitudes passed along from generation to generation.

We all deserve to be left alone. I come from a free society, and I think it should be legal for the Orangemen to march. But when they do it year after year through Catholic neighborhoods, yelling "F--- the Pope," burning Irish flags, and hoisting the Union Jack (which should not be associated with that kind of thuggery this week—or any week) they halt human progress and disgrace all that is good in English society.

The English were the first people to organize to abolish slavery. Despite the dark side of England's Imperial period, it's done a lot of good throughout human history. To remain in the shadows of its legacy and refuse to step into the light is dispicable in the age of terrorism.

These people are living in a sick and twisted past.
