This law means effectively that freedom of speech has been lost in Ireland, and I wish to express my deepest condolences to every democratic Ire.
Freedom of speech is the cornerstone of democracy, without it democracy cannot exist. Freedom of speech was originally created to be able to criticize religion, religious leaders and religious groups. It was also created to be able to criticize politics, political leaders and political groups. Without such criticizism there cannot be democracy. Effectively this means that Ireland now is a dictatorship and if the EU does not ban Ireland from being an EU member it also delivers proof that the whole EU-lesdership is conspiring to become a dictatorship.
The time has therefore come for revolution and each and every democrat must now arm himself to fight the dictators who are trying to steal our freedom. It is now to kill or to be killed!
