show me where it says that to be anti monarchist/republican you must defend the orange order?

The apprentice boys and Walkers club have control of Derrys walls. To this day they exclude historical societies or interested historians from utilising the walls, performing re-enactments etc on the walls.

Where's the parity of esteem, inclusiveness there in 2011.

Nationalists should STOP bending over to be shafted by these fascists. The best tourist attraction in the north is the burnt out shell of an Orange hall.

Like I say, non-sectarianism was a straight jacket. A refusal to face reality. Like black people calling each other nigger but don't you dare do that, 'whitey'.
GIVE ME A BREAK.

I thought Republicans were supposed to be non sectarian. I think it is un fucking believable that you are condeming Sinn Fein for being critical of sectarian attacks.

I did not see or hear what McC had to say so I was not defending him. Many Loyal Lodges have already ceased to exist others have lost as much as 80% or so of their membership --while they are likeley not going to march into complete oblivion they are becoming more and more irrelevant to most Protestants -I see little point in giving them fuel or fodder. That is not to say that they should not be opposed from marching where they are not wanted just how they are oppsoed is what is important. In another blogg Anthony accuartely points out that new comers might think McGuiness is a long standing member of the Alliance Party and colleague to David Ford. Similalrly with the Orangemen more and more people may not understand their full significance but only see colourful bands and displined lines of sash bearers --while around them nationalist youths run amok --or at least that is one perception --as time passing that could be the enduring image of Orangemen? I dunno? But petulance and youths goading for a riot don't win many hearts or minds.

Adams is quoted in today's Irish News as telling the crowd at a hunger strike commemoration in Camloch that "...the British government never had any right to be in Ireland, does not have any right to be in Ireland and never have any right to be in Ireland." Imagine that, he thinks the British government have no right to be in Ireland! Am I missing something here, Stormont? Administering the 'pravince' on behalf of London? Ah well.

Sectarianism became like PC it was a straight jacket in a war of nationalities. The huns were slaughtering Irish [catholics] indiscriminately and the nationalists were supposed to kiss their arse and convince them they are Irish too.
What a load of bollox, they should have been in the glens of Antrim awaiting the boat. Those who weren't happy to accept democracy and integrate.

Watching McCartney defend the apprentice boys just deletes any regard I ever held for the man. Ex hungerstriker? So fucking what.

Good points on McGuiness and on "current armed republicans are always going to feel they were cheated rather than defeated"

Larry

Sectarianism is sectarianism and has been on occassions a two way street --not always -but throwing petulant tantrums and burning things was usually what Orangemen did when they didn't get their way.

Meanwhile, we all listen in absolute incredulity as McGuiness's gag reflexes continue to fail him -his hypocracy is unencumbered by any natural inhibition.

2 SF members were on tv tonight [ one was Raymond McCartney ] defending the Apprentice boys and condeming attacks on their hall.

SF now stealing DUP clothes too.

SF should disband and return constitutional nationalism to the SDLP. They are unfit/unclean.

Pitty for Gerry Fitt and the abuse he endured. How long before we see a Lord O'Dowd or such ilk, whilst Professing to be an Irish republican of course whilst sitting in the Lords?

SF are pathetic.
