[FONT=Arial]Take it down from the mast Irish traitors,[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]The flag we Republicans claim,[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]It can never belong to Free Staters,[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]You brought on it nothing but shame.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]Then leave it to those who are willing,[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]To uphold it in war and in peace,[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]To those who intend to continue,[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]Until England’s cruel tyranny cease.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]You have taken our brave Liam and Rory,[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]You have murdered young Richard and Joe,[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]Your hands with their blood are still gory,[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]Fulfilling the work of the foe.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]But we stand with Enright and Larkin,[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]With Daly and Sullivan bold,[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]We will break down the English connection,[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]And bring forth the nation you sold.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]Take it down from the mast Irish traitors,[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]The flag we Republicans claim,[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]It can never belong to Free Staters,[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]For you brought on it nothing but shame.[/FONT]

What point are you trying to make?

She's trying to take a damaging thread off topic. She has form in this area.

She's actually quite good at it.

Ah yes - well spotted.

.....the average brain-dead Fianna Fáiler.

For so long as FF's best electoral weapon is still alive & well, as it obviously is as demonstrated by your post, they will always be in with shout at election time.

Here's an interesting question. How does 80 years of elections with a 75% first time failure rate & a 100% re-election failure rate engender a sense of superiority?

So tell me:
a) do you consider yourself one of the ones I refer to when I talk about brain-dead Fianna Fáilers, or would you say you belong to another category of member?
b) do you have anything of worth to contribute to the topic of this thread?

P.S.: I'm neither a member nor a supporter of Fine Gael.

A "damaging" thread?

A few heads batting the breeze? Would you ever cop on to yourself.

Would you like to make a comment on the subject of the thread?

e.g. Is it of overweaning importance to you that a Fianna Fáil Taoiseach take the salute at any 1916 Centenary in front of the GPO? It would be informative if you could give your reasons.

Do you think your lot would have a better chance of recovery if they were to call an election now, or would it be preferable from a strategic point of view to hold on as long, or almost as long as possible? It would be informative if you could give your reasons.

tonic let them at it, it keeps them busy and away from other far more important threads , if they think this is a damaging thread they must be as per aggressivesecularist new word Brain-dead.

I consider myself an "average" FF'er.

b) do you have anything of worth to contribute to the topic of this thread?.

Pointing out that the mind set of the parties of opposition is and always has been FF's best hope of election, is I think worthwhile in a thread on their chances of re-election + I consider hitting you on the head to be a worthwhile contribution on any thread.

P.S.: I'm neither a member nor a supporter of Fine Gael.

Who mentioned FG?

[Toland]

Fair enough. Your incisive points have been noted appropriately.

But when do you think Fianna Fáil should go to the people?
