Orientation
and Purpose
"So..."you
are
saying to yourself didn't the Defeat of James
II at the Battle of
the Boyne result in the imposition of those
Penal laws which persecuted
the Irish?!?!?!And who would want to celebrate
that???A n d....the answer
is.....
You are absolutely W
R O N G !
The Penal laws were
imposed by Parliament
as a result of the civil war waged by the Irish upon
the English which
started right AFTER James II surrendered, left
Ireland and returned to
the French court of Louis XIV from whence he had
come. James formally ended
his uprising in Dublin shortly after the battle when
he told his Irish
followers to give up, that their cause was lost. (By
the way we have James's character reference right
here-be sure to know
who we are talking about here!-click
for it!) (And if James was not bad
enough click here to read
about his
corrupt advisors!)
Now you see even
Irish Catholics
can celebrate! And if you don't believe me just
consult: Pietro Ottoboni (Pope Alexander VIII), and
before you ask No! he was not English (Born in
Venice) It is an absolute fact that he called
for all of the church bells of Christendom to be
rung in celebration of
the defeat of James II----now was the Pope
Catholic....you bet ya!
In
fact July 12th
should be celebrated as a national holiday in
the Republic of Southern
Ireland! You don't agree? You
would rather have seen the will
of James II put into effect in Ireland?- This is
in-fact what he had in
mind- This is what he said he was going
to do: Principle garrisons
should never be entrusted to the Irish
Governors or Irish troops; the sons
of ancient families should be given an English
education, to wean them
from their hatred of the English; schools
should be established to teach
English and by degrees wear out the Irish
language, which would be for the
advantage of the body of the inhabitants; the
Os Macs should be told that
the estates declared forfeit by James I and
his predecessors could not
be restored; no native of Ireland should be
lord lieutenant....
So...why
would
one not wish to celebrate the defeat of
this Tyrant "JUST
wait one minute guy"....you say..."I know full
well that this holiday is
some sort of Fraternal Holiday of a Protestant
Order and it is really all
about them and not......"us"
Sorry...absolutely
wrong
once again.....
Were
there any
Orangemen at the Battle of the Boyne or for that
matter in Ireland at all
at the time?
Absolutely
NOT!
The Order was not even founded until September
21,1795 and don't take my
word for it- ask them!

A
word about
the Orange Order. I am not a member of the
Orange Order. Nor would
I choose to be at this point in time because of
major disagreements with
the way the order is managed. I have attempted to
assist the order with
many issues. I have gone out of my way at great
expense to do so. I have
found the management of the order cold to outsiders,
uncooperative, and
lacking in essential common manners. Significant
communications have gone
un-answered. Essential actions have not been taken
as advised. This however
does not mean that those running the order or
the order itself are
evil. I point out that every organization run by
human beings will be imperfect.
That the order is
conservative
beyond necessity, inept, and lacking in common
politeness is only a sign
of its humanity and in no way represents evil. I
would hope however, that
the Orange Order would work upon these flaws and at
least take the time
to respond to ordinary communications in a timely
manner.
N o w....Can
we get to the point?
