IRA's psychological effect on unionists/loyalists

[Cloigeann]

The IRA effect on unionists runs deep, I wonder if we will be able to go on without decades of "the IRA this this, that and the other thing"

Unionism is not exceptionally the act of upholding the union, rather than protecting the union from threat, the IRA being a threat, mead loyalism, made unionism. pre- home rule bill, there was no unionism, it was the status quo that the union was safe, when it turned out to be under threat, we have the uvf, the oath and of course the troubles.

Indeed it is sickening the way people who advocate hatred and encourage murder (Mr Paisley take your share of the blame but don't say it out loud ) are now lauded by the Free State press, as has been said there is a concerted effort on behalf of the Unionists to have themselves portrayed as the victims in this whole sorry mess and it is being played to lovingly by the media and indeed PSF.

As has been said here, a fear of Nationalists has been bred into the Unionist populace as a whole. I know people brought up as various Protestant beliefs whose gut reaction to a mention of the RC church is that it is pure evil, even said by committed atheists !! It has been ingrained with in the culture to help the Unionist people convince themselves that they were right to brutally suppress the indigenous people of Ireland and they are right to try and maintain control as at the back of it all we are nothing but a bunch of unwashed Anti-Christ loving pack of murderers!
