They are anti-catholic, pro english, and pro monarchy a very sectarian order.

Because the politics in Northern ireland and the U.S. are different. Most North Americans don't have a clue what's happening there, only the the ones who have ties there like me and Vandoo.

TweetAnd BTW, I neither support nor condemn the IRA.

TweetWait a minute... I'm catholic. I dont think I like the orangemen you speak of.

[3Vandoo]

TweetU of Syracuse at first was a protestant University created by Irish protestant related to the orange order that why they have the nickname, there are an awful history of abuses against catholic in that part of NY.


for the people who doesnt know William of Orange was a dutch prince. The brit who wanted a proddie monarchy (long story)

anyways he went on against the catholic forces and Irish forces in 1690,
THE PROTESTANT FORCES WERE BACKED BY THE POPE!!! Ironic eh.....

something those oragemen seem to forget when they bang on the bang the pope(drum) when they parade. lol.


aaaaaaahhhhhhhh, the bloody craic of good ole Ireland

TweetAnd if you go to Ireland the Valley of the boyne is 30min north from Dublin, there cows and some house and a small river.

Same thing in Wales and all the hills and flatlands where the mythical King Arthur fought his battles. Today people just drive past it on the motorway and don't know the significance of it. There are artifacts that are just lying on the roads.

TweetWhat's the difference between an apple and an orange?
