Oliver Cromwell Against the Patriot Act

[RamistThomist]

I realize that Cromwell is a volatile subject and I do not want to start a debate, but I have two reasons for posting this:

1) Advertise for Cromwell
2) Be relevant to culture (ala patriot act quote: he mentions, concerning the tyranny of Charles I, about 4:00 into it that "our men dare not speak their minds for fear of imprisonment."

How'd they do that? They didn't have YouTube back then! Hey, is the Westminster Assembly on YouTube?

Hey, is the Westminster Assembly on YouTube?

Seriously, it's worth checking out. who knows what kind of (free!) historical documentaries you will find.

I love this movie, although they do make Richard Harris (Cromwell) to be a little high-strung (he is yelling in essentially every scene).
