For i realize the just because a Nation ( Great Britain) cannot control their addiction of power over Northern Ireland!

That  the Loyalist leaders will not except the fact that Irish Unity will be a fact and they have to decide whether it will be by sweet Peace or bloodshed!

I Cannot help it if a bunch of thugs (the real IRA)  who cannot see unless it is though their gun sights. They cannot see that Peace is the only way to Irish Unity!

That one the biggest problems we face is we get our information from a self-serving pack of wolves who could not report the who truth, even if they tried! The world Mass News Media Network, fails to tell the whole truth in their reporting  because they have placed their ratings above the truth, therefore; they feed their viewers/readers distortion and misleading information!

And the most hurtful fact; that there are some Irish-Americans, both individuals and groups, that turn their backs on Peace and Irish Unity because they are afraid of what others my think of them!( the Richmond Irish Society of America is such a group, they have even went as far as to pick and choose what parts of their Irish heritage and traditions to promote, ignoring the fact the Irish Unity , independence, has is the one constant in both Irish heritage and Irish Traditions)If they only realized that if the Irish-American community stood up and in one united voice declared their support for Peace and Irish Unity, just maybe the recent events would not have occurred!

All i ask of my fellow Irish-Americans is to; read the lyrics to the song “Ireland’s Call”  but just not with their minds but to open their hearts as they do. Then maybe they will fill apart of their hearts awaken and begin to beat like a bodhrans!

 Ireland’s call (as performed by The Celtic Thunder)

Ireland, Ireland,

side by side

we stand like brothers

one for all and all together

we will stay together though darker days

and we will be unbeatable forever

Ireland, Ireland,

together standing tall

shoulder to shoulder

we’ll answer Ireland’s call

come the day, come the hour

some will in song and stories

we were born to follow our guiding star

and to meet our  destiny with glory

Ireland, Ireland

together standing tall

shoulder to shoulder

we’ll answer Ireland’s call

hearts of steel and heads unbowing

vowing never to be broken

we will fight, until we can fight no more

till our final requiem is spoken

Ireland, Ireland

together standing tall

shoulder to shoulder

we’ll answer Ireland’s call

Ireland, Ireland

together standing tall

shoulder to shoulder

we’ll answer Ireland’s call

we’ll answer Ireland’s call

If some call me a dreamer because i believe that:

       ” Irish Unity can only be obtain though Peace,

      ” and Peace in Northern Ireland can only be obtain though Irish Unity”

The  by heaven it be a Dreamer i’ll be and damn proud of it!

The irish dug the canels that brought water to some of our largest cities, because the planters felt it was too dangerous for their slaves to do it, ” get the Irish to do it”

The Irish fought for the Independence of this great nation, assisted in it’s defense in the war of 1812, dunning our civil war the Irish fought to UNITE the nation and their were those who fought for their state’s rights.To say the least the Irish have bleed and died for this great country of ours.

The Irish laid the foundation for many of our great cities, they help laid the railroads that crisscross our great nation, They have added volumes to our nation’s literary library. They have helped to build the American Catholic church, giving this great nation many of it’s great spiritual leaders.Throughout the course of this nation the Irish have given us many of our great political leaders. For it is a fact that on every yellowing page of our nation’s history we will find the touch of the Irish, there is not one city or state that we will not find an Irish footprint.

So now when the Irish in Northern Ireland calls for the support of the Irish-American communities, the call sames to fall on deaf ears. For when the Irish made this call it was a call to support peace, it was a call to support ” Irish Unity” so it boggles the mind to think why?

We, Americans had assisted in bringing the peace to Northern Ireland, for the past 11 years, but now that peace is beginning to crack , it could be the support of the Irish-American community’s support that very well maybe the motal that mends those cracks and brings lasting Peace though Irish Unity!
