You obviously aren’t Irish. I am, hence no love for Cromwell.
Scotch-Irish and German on my mother side, On my father side English and French. A Southerner whose family sided with the British in the Revolution, but fought for the Union in the U.S. Civil War.
I like Cromwell because he overthrew King and Parliament: A man who could take just so much crap from the ruling establishment before he rebelled and destroyed it.
