US ‘sinister elements’ funding Irish counterparts

Surely, it is nothing short of blatant interference in our secular republic that the most sinister elements in US society are engaged in big time money raising to boost the agenda of their counterparts in this part of the world.

Such a financial lifeline between the warmongering extreme right in the US and the Spuc brigade is nothing new, but recent pressures at home and from abroad for reform in our abortion laws have put their efforts up a gear or two.

In fact, this transatlantic relationship goes back a long way and they both see this island as their last fort standing in the western world. Back in the middle eighties at the time of the campaign for the re-election of the uncrowned King of “Pro Life” Ronald Reagan, letters of support from Spuc appeared in the Irish papers: they lavished praise on both his domestic and foreign policies.
