[trevorf14]

why the hell do the irish always make the best rebel songs....

[ZepherCobalt]

@trevorf14 why do people set up empires to control other human beings when we were all created with our God-given rights to freedom?

@Guardian223

c'mon you ain't gone flipping mad now have you ?

[666PogueMahone]

@Guardian223 Many of the United Irishmen were protestants; Napper Tandy, Wolfe Tone, Samuel Neilson etc. Roddy McCorley was presbyterian i believe. Not all Irish protestants are loyalists

[MegaDomino1234]

@Guardian223 I'm an Irish Catholic, but so much of our Irish tradition would have been lost were it not for the Presbyterians. Wolfe Tone etc.

[Seasino]

@Guardian223 Roddy was Catholic
