Turks: Ireland Ain't the Promised Land

Day 927, 20:09 Published in Ireland Ireland by Lord Rhindon


Sorry, This isn't Canaan.

So I have come down to rescue them from the power of the Egyptians and lead them out of Egypt into their own fertile and spacious land. It is a land flowing with milk and honey--the land where the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites now live.
- Exodus 3:8

Actually...I've never seen those tribes around here. I think you have the wrong place?

A boatload of 50+ Turks, self-declared eCommunists. Invited here by Brian Boru, as they'll join the Labor Party. The reason is, these people have been persecuted in their homeland, and seek political refuge in a tolerant place, a country that is more welcoming towards foreign, politically organised mobs.

Ireland fits the bill, apparently.

WRONG.

We accept immigrants, we give shelter to refugees, we do tolerate their views. To a reasonable extent. That line is horrendously violated when, practically, an entire private army is employed from overseas. Let me be clear...

1. These are recruits. Not a natural population boom.
2. These are foreigners: Very unfamiliar with our language, let alone the concept of being 'Irish'.
3. They are organized. They have leaders, a code, and views external to our laws and customs.
4. These are Communists. They expect tolerance here, but it's unlikely we'll get any in return.
5. They have muscle. 50 members. 50 comments. 50 votes. All to one party. Already big.
6. They are a PTO in the making. Intentional, or unintentional, rapid or eventual, they will influence the media, they will inhabit Congress, they will pass laws, and they will win elections. Its natural.


Brian believes he can keep them on a leash. I'm utterly skeptical about that. Oh, they may seem a courteous, decent, harmless lot....aye....its smiles all around, isn't it?

Fifty Turks today. What tomorrow? A hundred Pakistani Dioists?
This sets a precedent I am not comfortable with.

For those of you fellow patriotic countrymen who know a little Irish folklore, turn your memory to the Fir Bolg's arrival to the island, escaping servitude under Greek masters. Their presence was not trivial - the entire land eventually succumbed to their dominance, for good or for worse.

Unlike the political scene...
Time and time again...
History does not lie.

Please note. This is NOT discrimination, don't start the self-pity crap with me. This stems from genuine, widespread concern within Ireland that I believe is absolutely valid, and should be heeded with utmost care...

Thank you,
