As an atheist my views on religion are a million miles away from those of Dana Rosemary Scallon but despite that I admire her as a person and believe she would make a good president.
I admire her because she doesn’t pretend to be anything other than what she is – a conservative Catholic. When defending her church/beliefs she doesn’t come across as a hypocrite or as a loony religious fanatic.
David Norris, on the other hand, has gone down in my estimation in recent years principally because of his hypocritical defence of that corrupt quango, Seanad Eireann.
He has shown himself to be more interested in preserving the rotten system that has destroyed our country than supporting those who want to destroy that system and build a new republic.
Ted :” Yeah i remember when we used to put on a few Dana tracks…”
Dougal : ” Dana???? HaHaHaHaHaHa, no ones listening to Dana anymore Ted”
and
“Dougal: God, you’d have to be mad to listen to Dana.
Ted: Fr. Bigley listens to Dana. And he’s not mad.
Dougal: Well, why is he in that home so?
Ted: He’s in the home because….because of those fires. But that’s nothing to do with Dana!”
Even Dougal dosent like Dana for feck sake!!
