OFF sock it to the Provos.

I wont lie, Im slacking at work today.
On a trawl around the web, I came across this delightful site:

Its hilarious.
The motion to the Ard Feis on Oglaigh na hEireann is particularly marvellous.

Cathaoirleach of Meath West Ógra Fianna Fáil moved a motion calling on the Minister for Defence to do all in his power to stop this practice, defend the good name of the Irish Defence Forces and to protect the historical legacy of the Easter Rising and the War of Independence for all of the Irish people.

It is unclear from the release what exactly the poor head of the defence forces can do to stop people calling other organisations Oglaigh na hEireann, but there you go.

Anyhow, we get hyperbole a go-go further down with

are surely the most ludicrous and repugnant words to come from a member of Fine Gael since Eoin O’Duffy left to fight for Franco.

Really marvellous stuff.

Meri, what's more embaressing for ye blueshirts - that O'Duffy went to fight for Franco, or that his band of gob************************es were so useless that the Spaniards told them to feck off after one battle?

So you think that it is right for organisations to use the term Oglaigh na hÉireann other than the Irish Army? Or do you just think that we shouldn't highlight that the true inheritors of that title have problems using it because of the various paramilitary groups that like to play pretend and call themselves Oglaigh na hÉireann?

Funny that ÓFF should love the 26 county army so much, considering that the founders of FF fought a war against it.

After they managed to get themselves shelled by friendly fire. True military geniuses those blueshirts

Do you think a motion to the Ard Feis makes a bit of difference?

Aah, someones a bit k************************y!
As we speak, Im just knocking up a motion to our next Ard Feis condemning O'Duffy. It will be full of fire and brimstone, and completely pointless.
Happy?

Come on Meri, spell it write at least, ÓFF and ArdFheis.

It makes a statement and highlights an issue. Nothing wrong with that. Whether it will actually change anything in the short term is unlikely but it's hardly wrong to make the point.

I was in love with the Ogra site, but Im going to divorce that site, marry your comment, and have little illiterate babies with it.
