The traditions of the Irish people are the oldest of any race in Europe north and west of the Alps, and they themselves are the longest settled on their own soil - Edmund Curtis (A History of Ireland: From Earliest Times to 1922) The Irish are one of the most ancient nations that I know of at this end of the world, and are from as mighty a race as the world ever brought forth. For it is certain that Ireland hath had the use of letters very anciently and long before England; that they had letters anciently is nothing doubtful, for the Saxons of England are said to have their letters and learning, and learned men, from the Irish. - Edmund Spenser (writer, and British Government Official in Ireland, AD 1596). The renaissance began in Ireland seven hundred years before it was known in Italy. And Armagh, the ecclesiastical capital of Ireland, was at one time the metropolis of civilisation. - Arsene Darmesteter, Professor of Old French and Literature Ireland can indeed lay claim to a great past; she can not only boast of having been the birthplace and abode of high culture in the fifth and sixth centuries . . . but also of having made strenous efforts in the seventh and up to the tenth century to spread her learning among the German and Romance peoples, thus forming the actual fountain of our present continental civilisation. - Heinrich Zimmer, Professor of Celtic and Sanskrit, Member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences |

It would be nice to have a flag representing those who were pioneers on the new world. |

Anything else in the World is only of interest here in terms of Geopolitics, and of its possible incidence on Europe. |

About Stirpes: Our allegiances and concerns are strictly with every and each of the Nations of Europe, and the doom which threatens the preservation and which endangers the very existance of the peoples of Europe and their Nations, our cultures and our heritages. Still, when one speaks of nations, cultures and heritage, obviously race is intertwined, but it is not the most important factor, if we were to level it, it would be quite balanced in terms of importance.

You New Worlders, are welcomed here and many are valuable contributors -- I and the rest of the staff thank you for it --, still one has to keep in mind our aim... Quote:

I think that the "new worlders" are more connected to racial efforts because it was the most primitive way of preservation for those who were far away from the original fatherland and fighting here to build their civilisation. And sometimes this urge of preservation became pure racism and apparent hate, with the cultural inheritance and european ways turned into another version, less great, but yet genuine. Quote:
The real difference is the geographic one. There is the Europa in Europa, and the Europe in the new world, with little differences between the two. Quote:
