Right? What's the issue?

Because they aren’t saying them for any other reason than bigotry and hating Irish catholics.

Like I’m not religious and don’t go to mass but I was born catholic and a certain segment of the population only cares about that last part.

And saying fuck the IRA is a wee bit hypocritical when most people who say it are flag shaggers who worship the army.

Have no love for the army, fuck the IRA they bombed my home.

Chanting it at a guy who has nothing to do with either because he is Irish?
