What's it matter? The UK and Ireland are now generally equivalent politically. The political parties in each country are working around the clock to destroy their history and culture by flooding their homeland with muslims and other savages.
It's time for Gerry Adams to retire and have a beer as the country he claimed to love dissolves before his eyes.

Gerry Adams talks and encouraged others to use violence. If he really believed it, he should have taken up arms as well. Put his life on the line to liberate Ireland from British occupation. At this point, he should crawl back under his rock and STFU.

Has it only been 20 years since all The Troubles?
It seems much longer. I have no real ties to Ireland or North Ireland, but I used to year about the constant warring that went on there. As another human being, I sympathize for anyone who has to live through that. Look at Syria now.
I am amazed that there anything left to be bombed in Syria.

Philosophically speaking, hes quite correct.

Gerry Adams is a known child molester. He is a criminal and not a heroic mastermind.

I don’t regard liberty as a “political aim”. So-called “political aims” are the province of demagogues who seek power for themselves.

That’s his brother, I believe. He did protect whoever the molester was. He is also suspected of giving the order to murder Jean McConville, a woman with 10 children, leaving them as orphans.

Like the US, most of Ireland is independent of England now. They used “violence and armed actions” against the same colonizer we did; not sure why an American would disagree with his statement.

I'm Catholic and I find the IRA to be filthy psychopaths.The Catholics of Northern Ireland should understand that they have a huge,*huge* advantage over what East Germans and North Koreans had/have.They don't have to get past walls,land mines and machine guns to get to a more "welcoming" land.
The IRA,like all such bands of medieval psychopaths,seek to accomplish with bullets what they can't accomplish with ballots.

That statement is meaningless without context. Without defining the scope and meaning of a term like “political aims” it could mean anything.
It sounds to me like he is saying that the ends will always justify the means for any political goal, and that is pure Alinsky.
