In the context of the times it would have meant a lot to him and his followers. In fact, it was the driving force behind his actions. As Halb said, at least he had "conviction".
It's bizarre that Cromwell should appear as any kind of positive reference in a thread about Trump!

So, the Manafort trial jury is deliberating for a second day. Fox says the jury is arguing about what constitutes "reasonable doubt" - and has written to the judge to ask for clarification. Fox also says that a unanimous verdict is required (I'm not familiar enough with US law to know if majority decisions might be acceptable).
Twelve good men (and women) and true? Let's hope so, but given the polarising effect of Trump, is it possible that a couple of Trumpette hold-outs on the jury could let Manafort off the hook?
Not all members of a jury take their role as seriously as you'd want - UK reminder: https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2011/jun/16/faceboo...
Thats not what I read about the majority Is this Fox trying to put on a positive spin?Twelve good men (and women) and true? Let's hope so, but given the polarising effect of Trump, is it possible that a couple of Trumpette hold-outs on the jury could let Manafort off the hook?

A juror has asked the judge what reasonable doubt means, as this is the only defence Manaforts team have put forward.
So the President’s campaign chairman is waiting to find out if he’s going to prison.
One of the architects of the Bin Laden raid is daring the president to take his clearances.
One of trumps reality show contestant/WH employees has tape of $180K offer she got to stay quiet
She's also reported to have over 200 taped conversations
Edit: Oh and trumps pick for the Supreme court has been found to have lied to the senate
You've got to love trump Fridays.
As ever, effective succession was the problem. Having got rid of a hereditary monarch, Cromwell's successor on death was his own son, Richard (Tumbledown Dick).
So, even Parliamentarians were not sure that this was what their "revolution" was supposed to have been about. So a typical English compromise was reached and the monarchy returned but severely constrained.

Mueller wants to use more than 1000 pieces of evidence in Manaforts federal trial

It would be interesting as to how the UK would be if the revolution had stuck.
If only...if only these guyshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levellers

Good.
I just thought that the quote was appropriate to the behaviour of the current incumbent of the White House and his team of reprobates.
It wasn't an endoresment of Oliver Cromwell and all the terrible things he did - both in England and Ireland.
Eric, that quote would fit very nicely with Blair and his bunch of crooks who virtually bankrupted UK plc not to mention Iraq and Afghanistan.I just thought that the quote was appropriate to the behaviour of the current incumbent of the White House and his team of reprobates.
