Fianna Fails unfettered corruption hurt the young,the old, the sick, and the handicapped.!

category national | politics / elections | opinion/analysis author Saturday February 07, 2004 12:22author by John McDermott - R.F.F.P(remove Fianna Fail party)author email jmcd33 at eircom dot netauthor address Ashtown,Co.Dublin Report this post to the editors

This must be the agreed slogan for all opposition to the current Mafiosi in Leinster House

Despite the absolutely corrupt nature of the present government,nothing stands in their way for a landslide local elections success.
Here's why... Fianna Fails unfettered corruption hurt the young,the old, the sick, and the handicapped.! This must be the agreed slogan for all opposition to the current Mafiosi in Leinster House

.Disgust is the feeling that any decent,concerned citizen must have as the revelations of corruption continue to unroll on a daily basis.There is a danger we will become numbed to it all.The very name "Fianna Fail" is synonamous with the adjective"rotten".The rot stretches from top to bottom.It is sickening to hear the pious exclamations of surprise ...the genteel rebukes...from the current"Godfather",Bertie Ahearn, at the latest revelations.He was ,it seems,at his masters side(C.J.H) , like an obedient ,docile and blind monkey, .. alway "seeing no evil;hearing no evil ;and speaking no evil"! One cute boyo .Look at him now. Ruling the roost .An unchallenged cockerel. His opponents ..feeble and in disarray. Such good fortune to have all his crew exposed at a "historic high "time of imported, american prosperity .(thanks to the I.D.A.- not Berties boys!). Nobody cares who runs the show as long as its a good one. Most of the electorate are doing very nicely. Benchmarking. Job guarantees for life . Fat cat builders and lawyers ...milking the system ,and the national purse. Property owners&landlords never had it so good. The farmers nicely fattened for market.(Pensions from Brussels if they retire early and stop growing so much damn wheat..producing so much milk!etc) . His rural supporters leave the land idle,..plant a few trees,to hide all the "one off holiday homes"(you can build and sell for a nice profit to successful city folk. Planning permission?Rezoning?.No problem!). However if any of the people who are paying for the good life wander from their city cages and stray across the fields on a sunday stroll..shoot them dead. Business folk are happy too...pockets full from gouging (..the dearest country in Europe -and thats official.) Some of them will be a little annoyed of course. The one department that Bertie can now longer control...is out of control!. They have been spreading across the Island of Saints and Scholars like a virus..a plague..The Black Death!. Young, eager beaver,ex college kids on a mission-All those bank accounts ..onshore and offshore ..phantom non -residents..an army of them,-are these kids prey.! They march out from Mount street,and other mission centres countrywide to exact taxes for "The Soldiers." Bertie,like Caeser Augustus,is calling his whole empire,to a census,..a taxation bonanza the likes of which the world has never seen,or will see again.Farmers,bankers ,businessmen,builders,publicans... .All must contribute to the new order..even the rubbish has to pay its share!! All will vote for the Soldiers of Destiny again. Even the wheely bins. !!. They have been shriven of their sins and like good penitents ..take their punishment with a happy heart. Why not? It was long overdue, As for blaming Bertie..the Devil you know...- is better than one you don't! (The Socialist Party..Joe Higgins.. horrors!) "Drink up that pricey pint Bertie..and have another.Let the good times roll I say,There's so much money washing around this town boys..we will probably drown in it!.Stay where you are Bertie,-in Leinster House .your doin a fine job...begobs you may be a bit of a boyo but so are the rest of us...set a thief to catch a thief.. 'shure dodgin the taxman is a national pastime in the land of Erin...and let the man without sin cast the first stone...if ye can find one"! Time to take those advertising restrictions off the other evangelical factions,competing for our souls, Bertie...The present monopolists don’t seem to have done a good job!
