THE PRICE OF REWARDING TERRORISM

You do not defeat terrorism by rewarding terrorists, regardless of how many bleeding heart liberals argue otherwise. Want to know where that flawed approach leads to? Read UNIONISM DECAYED 1997-2007 - It's my first book and it explains what happens when you seeek to appease terrorists and call it peace. It's available right now for ATW readers so make sure you get your copy by emailing the editor! This is the book that dissents from the herd mentality that doing wrong can lead to being right. It doesn't and this book spells out WHY.

THE MAIDEN'S PRAYER....

DateTuesday, November 24, 2009 at 10:15PM

Ever hear the Maiden's Prayer?

"O Lord make me chaste, but just not yet"

I thought of this when reading that Northern Ireland’s MLAs were told “get a move on” over double-jobbing after the Assembly voted to delay axing the practice until 2015.

Oh, they LOVE the £££££'s!

An Assembly vote allowing the political parties another six years to reach the position of one person, one job, today came under fire from watchdog bodies.

Rightly so. These people are serial troughers, out to protect their pockets at all costs and to hell with the poor taxpayer.

Dirty conscience

>>Ever hear the Maiden's Prayer?

Actually, that superb quote is by St Augustine, one of the Fathers of the Catholic Church, from the Confessions:

"Da mihi castitatem et continentam, sed noli modo"

Pope John Paul whipping himself, St Augustine being a randy old goat... you gotta hand it to these pious Catholic icons !

It's a pointless move anyway. The Assembly has no power of enforcement at the present time as to who can hold Public Office. Even if the Assembly were to pass a resolution tomorrow outlawing double jobbing they would have no way of stopping those who currently have multiple positions from sitting in Stormont.

Slightly of topic,

About time those goats up on the hill pulled their heads out of their arses and got something...ANYTHING done.
