Kate O'Connell - Typical Irish Fantasist.

Kate O'Connell, an Irish parliamentarian has called the people who altruistically cared for and nurtured unmarried mothers and their children, murders. Anyone with half an ounce of sense in Ireland knows that this claim is nothing more than a poisonous fantasy which is not supported by evidence and is the very exemplar of the quality of politicians in Ireland at the moment. The objective of such vile fantasies are to support the illusory victimhood of the Femin-Nazis and thus justify their attacks on males and seek notoriety.

O'Connell is not alone in seeking notoriety, Ireland has been in the grip of this particular mass hysteria for a number of years now. In history, such hysteria is normally blamed on poor working class gombeens but as Ireland is a fairly classless society we find gombeenism reaches across the full gamut of the social classes which includes many judges, barristers, politicians, medics, carpet baggers, road sweepers and academics.

It’s as embarrassing to Ireland as McCarthyism of the 1950s is to the United States. It shows that even in the information age, where good quality information is easily available, many in Ireland remain prone to believing in conspiracy theories. In fact it would not be beyond reason to claim that the Irish are currently the one nation on earth which is most prone to believing in conspiracy theories.

O'Connell fails to apportion blame for the perceived bad treatment of women, (if it existed) to the attitudes of her own family nor has she attributed any blame to her current political party with its history of fascism.  She reserves her ire for the religious people who in Christian charity took unmarried mothers in off the streets, provided them with free health care, qualified nurses and midwives to help them through childbirth and rehabilitate them after.

When mothers abandoned their children, the nuns looked after them, finding them foster homes or were forced into rearing the unwanted children themselves. They did a marvellous job and had the eternal gratitude of the people until along came the current generation of Femin-Nazis who started to imagine all sorts of crazy things and so the witches went hunting these female misogynists.

There is an old aphorism that “if you don’t use your mind, others will use it for you” and this can be seen in O'Connell's rant. She tells us that a programme on the Irish national TV station claimed that 35 children were allowed to die in an orphanage fire in Cavan in 1943 because of the “nuns not wanting them to be seen in their nightgowns”. Had she been given to using her own faculties and doing her own research she would have known that the nuns were not looking after the children when the fire broke out. Thus her statement cannot be true, she let her opinion be given to her by a media outlet sensationalising history, hashtag fake news. #dumbpolitician
