      I share few of Maria Steen’s social and cultural expectations and I’m from Dublin.

    2. The irony is that any fundamentalist muslims coming here do in fact share quite a few of Maria’s cultural values.

      During the marriage equality campaign, David Quinn (founder of the Iona Institute) ran a poster campaign with the slogan „a child deserves their mother’s love for their whole life“. His angle was that same sex marriage would lead to a rise in surrogacy. David Quinn has two adopted children. I always wonder how they felt about their Dad putting up those posters. Where there is fundamentalist fervour, hypocrisy is never far away.

      Do these Christians actually follow the bible? Or just the parts that suit them politically?

      dammit, don’t make me vote for the FF/FG candidate, just to keep these fuckers out!

      I suppose the Iona Institute have to do something to try stay relevant these days.

      Hopeful doing the heavy lifting.

      In 7 years Ireland will be ripe for a right wing, isolationist, nativist, blood and soil candidate. But not this time.

      how many of these gobshites actually know what the role of Irish President entails?

      Unfortunately, this will be a very effective campaign in the current climate…

      When it comes to “social and cultural expectations “, I hope to fuck I’m not on her, and the mob who bankroll her, side of the fence.

      You could easily attribute that quote to the Brits back in the day talking about Irish immigrants, or the Yanks talking about the Irish fleeing the famine

      We were considered subhuman and incompatible with their society….and how exactly did we turn out?

      I wonder what their buzzword back then was for „economic migrants“

    12. She was part of the campaign that conned the electorate with fear for the 2024 referendum campaigns for her mission of making Ireland a Catholic fundamentalist state and thinks she can do it again.

      I tell you what else fills me with a flood of molten pus and resentment bar her self serving smug face — their abuse of typography.

      Note how they’ve set it in an aggressive UPPERCASE (ala Trump), they’ve chosen an art deco style font. And they’ve squeezed it horizontally to fit.

      Had they just used lower case, they’d reach a broader audience and possibly influence some nut bags.

      As I said in another thread, a person who could make me give Bertie a preference. If any Iona institute person goes forward I will vote for everyone (sane) else first.

      I would despise the thought of her representing Ireland.

      No, no, no. Please no

      She won’t be elected, not a hope. Nobody wants someone as conservative and as backward in their social views to be their ambassador representing them abroad.

    16. Sorry.

      As an American, I am so sorry that our bullshit is being exported to Ireland.

      Says this in the name of a refugee who fled his homeland for safety as a child, imagine if Egypt had sent him back.

    18. Fine gael has banned councillors voting for anyone. Sinn Fein has done the same supposedly, and FF will probably follow suit. Unlikely any independents get on the ballot.

      You know why flying the flag is suspicious because we never fucking cared about it before. 

      I always thought Americans were weird about a piece of cloth.

      „Always they share few social and cultural expectations“ Like what?
