Eighteenth Century Democrat Confronts Twenty-First Century Democrat

Eighteenth CenturyDemocrat (ECD)
Twenty- First Century Democrat (TCD)

TCD- We were fooled into war! We were told that this was all about democracy, when it's really all about the rich avoiding taxes!

ECD- Then it doesn't bother you that they haven't been trying British subjects in civilian couts, but instead in naval courts?

TCD- You're one of these goody-goodies who talks about "rights," aren't you? A court isn't that important. After all, one can lie to it easily.

ECD- Then you are a loyalist.

TCD- Patriot, loyalist, whatever. All that is just words. It's really all about power and sex. Especially sex!

ECD- You don't care about whether we win the Revolution?

TCD- If we're winning, I'll back it. But the idea that we're winning the Revolution is just plain wrong. So I'm against the war.
