What do you think about the police?

Of course. If everybody in Ireland was banned from owning a lot of land, that would also be rule of law, albeit a rule of a very unjust and dangerous law (which is very unlikely to be passed). But Brits being above the law that applies only to Catholics is not a rule of law.

*sigh* Just because you’re saying the wrong thing over and over doesn’t move you closer to saying the right thing.

There is nothing unusual or even inherently unfair about different laws applying to different classes of people. This has nothing to do with ROL.

You know, it is hard to have a discussion about politics with you when you operate under some strange definitions of political terms. To me, "capitalist government" means "government that does not intervene in the economy". To you, a government passing racist laws making it impossible for Irish Catholics to grow anything other than potato is somehow capitalist. To me, "rule of law" implies equality before the law. To you, a government passing blatantly racist laws somehow obeys the rule of law.
