“Many placed the results in a national context, saying it pointed not only to change but also to the compassion and tolerance of the Irish people. (New York Times, May 23, 2015) “Alex White, the government’s minister for communications, said: “This didn’t change Ireland — it confirmed the change. We can no longer be regarded as the authoritarian state we once might have been perceived to be. This marks the true separation of church and state.” “Gerry Adams, president of Sinn Fein, said: “There are two Irelands, the elite Ireland and the hidden Ireland. And today the hidden Ireland spoke.” “Gay rights activists around the world had said a victory would be an important milestone. “I think this is a moment that rebrands Ireland to a lot of folks around the world as a country not stuck in tradition but that has an inclusive tradition,” said Ty Cobb, the international director of the Human Rights Campaign, a Washington-based advocacy group.”You don’t have the read the 1987 Gay Manifesto to know that it remains to be seen how tolerant Ireland’s new legalized gays will be to the 38% of the population who voted against the referendum. “Ireland’s paradigm shift from a quasi theocracy to a leader on gay rights was the result of a sustained campaign by gay activists. They set up a network of support groups around the country and fused a grass-roots movement with aggressive social media outreach and a registration drive that brought in more than 100,000 new voters since last November. Tens of thousands of doors were knocked on, extensive leafleting campaigns took place and posters were ubiquitous. (New York Times) “How did this happen? Two causes: the failure of Catholic leaders, and huge financial pressure from America,” wrote Church Militant TV President Michael Voris.
“First, the money: The grant foundation Atlantic Philanthropies has funneled hundreds of millions of dollars into Ireland to change the culture toward evil. Huge sums of money have been given in grants by AP to groups advocating for # marriage. And if you've never heard of Atlantic Philanthropies, don't worry. Many people haven't. But you've heard of many things they've caused to happen — like Obamacare, for example. They were the leading bankroller of lobbying groups to push through the immoral legislation. And who said politicians couldn't be bought? It should come as no surprise then that AP is also spending a fortune on all the illegal immigration efforts that keep coming up. “So, pro-homosexuality, pro-contraception/abortion, pro-illegal immigration — does anyone sense a civilization destabilization effort at work here? “And the only force able to counter this kind of organized evil is the Catholic Church. And where were Catholic leaders these last 20–30 years in Ireland? Nowhere to be found. "They were busy not teaching the Faith, covering up homosexual priests who raped altar boys, advancing the militant homosexual cause by talking like sissies about having to find a way to accommodate the disordered love between members of the same sex. Not totally surprising, that, since they counted so many active homosexuals in their own ranks.”Meanwhile, the outcome of Ireland’s referendum should send goosebumps to the American electorate looking for relied from Democrats who are leaving America in ashes and ruins. If millions of dollars partnered with “aggressive social media” can wipe out corruption and bald-faced lies, then Hillary Clinton, who comes with great stores of both, could be America’s next president.
