What are you going to tell me about terrorism? I’ve seen it close up and personnel in the Republic That Once Was Vietnam. Xin loi, no cong bet, sorry I’ll never understand.
The American expreience was unparrelled any where else in the World; however, it was and still is dynamic unto itself. Had we of not acted quickly during tough times, the USA would have been over run by despots. I never believed in hopless lassie-faire dreams.
What of the poor houses in Ireland during the gReta Famine? Didn’t the hopelees, landless, and penniless stay for about one month, by the hand of charity, before the were tossed out into the cold wet Irish weather?

The nom,”rebel” is grafted onto anyone that fought Crwon rule. This included my GGGGGG Grandfather. He was a “rebel” and soldier in 1780 while fighting the Redcoats with the Cumberland Volunteers. Without him and thousands of others. as Ira Hayes, America wouldn’t be America.
James Connolly has nothing to do with Ira Hayes. This video is a tribute amd memorial to Marine hero Ira Hayes. Stop posting bullshit that has no relation to Ira Hayes and the Marine heros that fought on Iwo Jima.
James Connolly was an Irishman that was wounded on the attack of the post office on Easter Sunday, 1916, Dublin, Ireland. He was wounded that day while fighting with the British Army. He was later tied to a chair and shot graveyard dead in the Kilmanham Jail. He was a patriot, and a rebel, that gave his life,as did others, for the birth of the Irish Republic. My response was directed a previous comment.
Rebellion against King and Country? The United States of America did the same during the American Revolution. The same was done in India, China, Scotland and Soth Africa.
No pun intended, are you a fisherman? I am and have been so since I was young. The Great Atlantic Ocean and only five years of agwe seperate History. I know Connolly’s history and pedigree. Please continue the debate. It is good talk.
they were defeated within a matter of hours by soldiers who were mostly their own fellow Irishmen.
The majority of Irismen have never supported terrorists such as United Irishmen, Connollys “Brotherhood”, the IRA. and never will. Such groups have never achieved anything except to kill & maim their fellow Irish and bring punishment, death & sufferring for themselves. McGuiness & Adams & thier thugs realised this so surrendered and now share rule with the Queen & her government in Ulster.
Part 2. excecuted him for murder and treason were also Scots from the Scots guards.
In January 1916 he suggested to the so called Irish Republican Brotherhood that seeing the UK was busy fighting elsewhere this would be a good time to start a rebellion. This they did but unfortunately for him the true Irish patriots refused to rebel, they remained loyal to the crown. Connolly was left with a small gang of thugs (200) to help him fight. Needless to say (go to part 3)
I rise to your bait one last time! A hero? Certainly not to the majority of us in Ireland. Connolly died because he was convicted of murder, causing the death of Irish citizens through rebellion and for treason against his king and country. He was tied in a chair because that was the way people faced a firing squad in both UK & USA. Besides that, he had been shot in the foot at the GPO standoff and could not stand.. He was a Scot born & bred in Edinburgh. It was ironic that the volunteers who
Again James Connoly was a hero. The British feared hom si much that they ried him to a chair, his previous wounds ill dressed, and executed him graveyard dead — Crown justice.
2) The signers of the U.S. Constitution were hounded, their property confiscated, and murdered by the British Government. Whomever came to the cause and participated in the American Revolution was welcomed. Traitors to their King? What do you expect from those that had had enough of Crown Rule. “Don’t Tread On Me” wasn’t a catch phrase before and during the American Revolution. The majority of the colonists had had enough of the British GOV’T, its taxes, and abuse.
No, George Washington and the signers of the U.S. Constitution were then, today, and forever,”patriots”. I wouldn’t call places like Cowpens, Saratoga and New York “treachery”. Those boys were a few volunteers from many European countries. There werre countless numbers:i.e., Baron Ferderic Von Stubben, Kazimierz Pulaski, Peieer L’Enfant, Pierre Colomb, Marquis La Fayette, just to name a few. Of Historicila note, any country born in revolution lives in constant threat of revolution.
Remember the Rape of Nanking? How about the Batan Death March? The Phiipppines, Malasiya, Boreno, the Dutch East Indies, Guam — just to name a few. The Japs got everything they deserved and then some. American monthly KIA in both the Pacific and European Theathers — 12,000.

Honror and difnity is it? Ah yes, just like Cornwalis at Yorktown. He too surrendered his sword. That’s History.
Beware of the tyranny of the written word .
fuck you
@Daddymccourt :
The Irsih Church — Catholic or Protestant. There weren’t any Prods in Ireland until Billy crossed the River.
@Daddymccourt :
Traitors? Certainly not to Colonial Patriots.
@Daddymccourt:
If what you say is true, why is there a Republic of Ireland today?

WTF is Connolly? What does he have to do with The Ballad of Ira Hayes?
Question? Who and where is the majority in th Republic of Ireland? It is in the North?
Rebellion against King and Country? The United States of America did the same during the American Revolution. The same was done in India, China, Scotland and Soth Africa.
guys this song is about Ira Hayes not Connolly
