To borrow a line or two from Cromwell:
"It is high time to put an end to your sitting in this place, which you have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice. You are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would sell your last principle for a mess of pottage.
@cerebrate probably not the best example of a “paragon of virtue”, especially given what he did to Ireland for daring to seek self-determination
No-one said he was a paragon of virtue, he just turned a damn fine phrase on occasion.
(Also, you misspelled “for being Catholic”.)
@cerebrate (that too)
Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth? You have sat too long for any good you are doing lately. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of Liberty, go!"
