Rebellion against the forces of good
Ian Paisley tells us (16/4/07) that we’ll not be going back to the
days of violence. Wouldn’t you rather hear that from Gerry Adams?
Gerry Adams assures us regularly that we’ll not be going back to the
bad old days of unionist intransigence. Wouldn’t you rather hear
that from Ian Paisley?
Notice something? These coalition leaders are blaming each other for
the Troubles. Wouldn’t you rather they accepted responsibility for
their own roles?
This is a dangerous situation because we have no guarantee that they
will not repeat their pasts or that new leaders will feel it
rewarding to go down the violence or intransigence route because
there appears to be no price to pay for these “scapegoating”
leaders.
Ian Paisley is only in power at the moment because he has for many
years twisted the truth when he told the unionist electorate that
there was a better way than the UUP one.
The truth for Nationalists is more complex. Not only did Gerry Adams
lead his people into a depraved slavery to violence, he practically
destroyed them before Nobel Peace Prize winner, John Hume of the
SDLP, a non-violence leader in the mode of Gandhi, Martin Luther
King and indeed Jesus Christ himself, stepped in and saved the
Nationalist people from complete demoralization.
The truth about Gerry Adams is that he led a rebellion against the
forces of good in our society here in the North, leading Catholics
(mainly) away from Christ and towards an alien antichristian agenda.
His rebellion failed miserably and for the moment he is being
rewarded by the public because of the “prodigal son” syndrome in us
that loves to see a sinner convert.
Wouldn’t you rather Paisley and Adams pay a price in order to deter
other would-be destroyers from coming forward? Well, that price can
only be the acceptance of responsibility for the Troubles.
