Anyone who knows about Sinn Fein, knows that the one consistent thing about them, is that they are inconsistent on every single issue.
They are the ‘opposition’, who boast of their willingness to do whatever the government asks of them.
They hold banners saying ‘Get England out of Ireland’, while cackling for joy as they invite English abortion companies to abort Irish babies. They also complain of ‘sectarianism’ against Catholics in the North, while themselves picketing Catholic churches in the South for refusing to hang ‘Pride’ flags outside churches.
Better yet, they picket Catholic churches for ‘homophobia’, yet stand alongside a religion known for putting homosexuals to death by stoning.
Mary Lou McDonald, who runs for election in working class North Dublin despite receiving a private education in elitist South Dublin, appeared at the annual Festival of Sacrifice at Archbishop Croke Park today. Archbishop Croke Park has long been the home of the Gaelic Athletic Association and its preservation of Irish culture, in recent years however it has become mostly a commercial enterprise, entertaining rugby, soccer and even the Queen of England as well as concerts from Taylor Swift and others. The Festival of Sacrifice was held ‘temporarily’ in Archbishop Croke Park, this year and last year, but we expect, as happened in other countries, that this ‘temporary’ move will become permanent.
McDonald’s presence is particularly galling as only a number of weeks ago, her party stood outside a Catholic church in Ballyfermot in Dublin, screaming abuse about the ‘fascist, racist’ organisation of the Catholic Church. The racism comment was quite bizarre considering that Sinn Fein were reacting to a Rosary Rally led by a person of colour a few days earlier, but no one ever said that anything Sinn Fein do or say is ever intended to make any sense. Another wonderful contradiction was that one man in a Celtic top was videoed criticising the church and asking if the church opposed divorce, evidently unaware of the lives of either Brother Walfred or King Henry VIII.
Mary Lou spoke about the problem of ‘Islamophobia’, evidently, picketing people of the Catholic faith is a lesser crime to Sinn Fein, unless Protestants do it, but if they do do it it should be because of homophobia or something…again, no one said that Sinn Fein ever intended to make sense.
McDonald also took part in an anti Catholic protest a number of weeks ago alongside Fianna Fail’s candidate for Dublin Bay South, the event (get this) was designed to blame the church because the government wasn’t able to build a hospital by itself. No, seriously.
Nonetheless, she enjoyed herself today at Archbishop Croke Park (named after Archbishop Croke, one of many Catholic prelates who built the Gaelic Athletic Association in order to keep young men and women away from English and Protestant influence) and was praised by Amanaullah De Sondy for her words.
The GAA will no doubt enjoy the good press from today. They told Catholic Arena prior to the Ballyfermot picket that their club in Ballyfermot would not be attending, yet they did. The GAA never responded to our follow up email.
The group ‘Alliance of Former Muslims of Ireland’ criticised the event.
