    They both fall into the age old trap of politicising christian denomonations. Both groups are exclusionist, and need to realise that protestant and catholic have nothing to do with loyalism and republicanism
    Arm of Erin, prove strong, but be gentle as brave, and, uplifted to strike, still be ready to save; Not one feeling of vengeance presume to defile the cause or the men of the Emerald Isle.

    It is fascinating how similar are Irish Catholics and North Irish Protestants.
    It's also fascinating how many people attend OO marches and how long their marching "season" is in comparison to the AOHs.

    Bot full of loons though.

    It is fascinating - shows the support the OO has within the protestant community. Its not only protestants who attend OO parades in Northern Ireland or any other part of the world were the order exists.

    How long does it span White Horse, you seem to know??

    the AOH has moved away from its roots and lost its direction. If it reverses this it will grow onto a power for good once again

    Its roots being the corruption of the Irish Parliamentary Party into a catholic organisation and the killing of the possibility of Home Rule in a united Ireland?
