[Conway] The Journey Begins

Day 1,924, 11:21 Published in Ireland Ireland by MrConway


Citizens of Ireland,

As some of you are aware I am running for the President of eIreland. For a long time now Ireland has been idling and has had no sense of direction. We have suffered from bad leadership and due to this internal conflicts have erupted across our nation.

I do not want to start winning you over with buzzwords like hope, democracy and unity. I want to win you over with your true support for a cause, my cause, our cause.

What Ireland really needs now is a leader. We need a sense of direction. I believe I can direct us in the right path and restore Ireland to its former greatness.

I have selected some of the finest eIrish citizens from all sides of our political feud. I have chosen them as they are the best at what they do. Hopefully we can demonstrate to all of Ireland that differences can be put aside in search of a common goal, a greater Ireland.

This article is just to launch my campaign. I will release a few more with some of my plans if I am elected.

Until then, have a nice day.

MrConway.




Irish nationality is an ancient spiritual tradition, one of the oldest and most august traditions in the world. Politically, Ireland's claim has been for freedom in order to the full and perpetual life of that tradition. The generations of Ireland have gone into battle for no other thing. To the Irish mind for more than a thousand years freedom has had but one definition. It has meant not a limited freedom, a freedom conditioned by the interests of another nation, a freedom compatible with the suzerain authority of a foreign parliament, but absolute freedom, the sovereign control of Irish destinies. It has meant not the freedom of a class, but the freedom of a people. It has meant not the freedom of a geographical fragment of Ireland, but the freedom of all Ireland, of every sod of Ireland. And the freedom thus defined has seemed to the Irish the most desirable of all earthly things. They have valued it more than land, more than wealth, more than ease, more than empire.
