"Do you detest them or not?"
There are no more "Unionist Communities" than there are "Conservative Communities"
Do you believe there to be culturally cleansed areas of Northern Ireland where only Unionists live - has Unionist sectarian bigotry really been that successful?
Northern Ireland is what it says on the label - "Irish"
Despite nearly a century's effort on the part of the Unionists, the population now lives and works together, one section doesn't have to sit at the back of the bus or use their own toilets - they are one population
Any division has been carefully fostered by British supported laws which made a third of the population second class citizens and made their lives a misery, and by annual displays of sectarian superiorty.
People of all denominations, in general, have always mixed socially and in every-day life
Do I hate Unionism - I most certainly do - it is a hate-filled, bigoted philosophy that has ben the cause of bloodshed and intolerance for over a century since it first produced it's hate filled COVENANT

"The Covenant signed by men read:
?Being convinced in our consciences that Home Rule would be disastrous to the material well-being of Ulster as well as the whole of Ireland, subversive of our civil and religious freedom, destructive of our citizenship, and perilous to the unity of the Empire, we, whose names are underwritten, men of Ulster, loyal subjects of His Gracious Majesty King George V, humbly relying on the God whom our fathers in days of stress and trial confidently trusted, do hereby pledge ourselves in solemn covenant throughout this our time of threatened calamity to stand by one another in defending for ourselves and our children our cherished position of equal citizenship in the United Kingdom, and in using all means which may be found necessary to defeat the present conspiracy to set up a Home Rule Parliament in Ireland. And in the event such a Parliament being forced upon us we further solemnly and mutually pledge ourselves to refuse to recognise its authority. In sure confidence that God will defend the right we hereto subscribe our names. And further, we individually declare that we have not already signed this covenant.God Save the King?

The Declaration signed by women read:
?We, whose names are underwritten, women of Ulster, and loyal subjects of our gracious King, being firmly persuaded that Home Rule would be disastrous to our Country, desire to associate ourselves with the men of Ulster in their uncompromising opposition to the Home Rule Bill now before Parliament, whereby it is proposed to drive Ulster out of her cherished place in the Constitution of the United Kingdom and to place her under the domination and control of a Parliament in Ireland. Praying that from this calamity God will save Ireland, we hereto subscribe our names.?!

That is what caused the hatred and bloodshed that has been a part of Irish life 1912, and has spilled over onto the British mainland for periods of time during the intervening years
Do I hate it - yes I ***** do
Why do you support it?
