Naturally they had all taken the pledge at school - for they were a kathurlick body of men for a kathurlick nation. He argued that unique amongst the badges that they be allowed wear : be counted "the pin". Abstinence like abnormally big feet in a lad almost guaranteed him a place at Templemore. Nowadays rare it is to see a Garda with "the pin" or the Ban Gardai with the ladies equivalent. Some might snicker in the shadowy back row of Chomskyite hedonites that today's Garda recruit is more likely to trust the relaxing powers of amyl nitrate.
But considering the state of young Irish people today the move to secularisation brought about by the masonic infiltration of the church of Rome only 1,500 years after the collapse of the Roman empire has not only meant (in no particular order) folk music at mass - condoms on sale in shops - liturgical dance - divorce in the courts - and end to magdalene homes - an end to cheap laundry - an end to mass adoptions - but an end to corrective discipline and corporal punishment and the scourge of teenage drinking. At the same time your vocations to the priesthood have dropped, your convents are emptying, the christian brothers are almost forgotten, and the PTTA have dropped from their peak of 600,000 to a mere sprinkling the most prominent of whom are counted in the Sinn Fein front bench.

You might all think you were ready for secularisation, especially you smart-asses in D'Olier street with your "non-religious naming services" but you weren't !
You have not substituted the moral authority of the Roman Empire's religion with any solid instructional method. It is obvious that Ireland the "celtic tiger" is no more than a beast of Babalon, what was once the jewel in the crown of faith and practice is now at the forefront of extremist epicurianism ( if you forgive the oxymoron - I'm very excited - when I get excited the oxymorons come out but at least I remember to put prepositions into the sentances).
What we are left with is the oddest of situations - it is to Ulster that we must look for strong faith and its application. All the parties have been asked to take part in a "webcast" alone amongst those with the moral fibre to reject such were the republican sinn fein bunch. There they've been asked to consider "issues of the day".... "smacking, gay adoption, euthanasia and road tolls".
As soon as I can provide the BBC with a fake address, postal code and name which will pass their verification process I'll be posing a question of my own on that webcast :-

Will members of the P.S.N.I. be allowed to or prohibited from wearing faith based symbols such as "the pin" or turban or has it even be considered ???
