History question - Did we call the Irish Republican Army "Roman Catholic Terrorists"?

60. Were the Founding Fathers vicious murderers? The rebels, like the Founding Fathers here,

were fighting for Independence from the same Empire.

I suppose that's what it took to become independent from the oppression, inequality, in Ireland's case genocide, murder, torture, theft of land, centuries of it.

The 'vicious murderers' here, the FFs, didn't wait Centuries.

In fact you might say the Irish rebels had far more cause to be 'vicious murderers' than the FFs, whose heritage was not here while Ireland belonged to the Irish, they WERE the native people invaded and occupied and brutalized, starved and tortured for eight hundred years.

I think they waited way too long, though I know they tried throughout the centuries, to end that particular vicious and brutal occupation.

Like Patrick Pearce and Michael Collins, Jerry Adams will be viewed as a hero when the North reunites with the South which is inevitable.

You can't steal people's land and murder their people and expect them to just accept it. Even centuries later, that theft will be remembered.

Face it, Empires are brutal and not particularly long lasting as they tend to make many enemies as the ravage and pillage and murder their way towards becoming an Empire.

I would call the Irish rebels, 'blowback' and now heroes, as you will find if you visit the Free parts of Ireland.
