Well nice job speaking for people who are several hundred years dead - I'm sure you somehow talk to them and ask them what they would do?

Forgive me for thinking they would do what they did do. how rude of me.

What they did do several hundred years ago in a situation and time very different to now. Of course you can predict exactly what their reactions would be.

This reminds me of the South Park episode where both sides argue that the founding fathers would have supported them.

 

This is now, they lived back then. Invoking what you think the founding fathers would do doesn't make your argument any more convincing.

That was "I'm A Litte Bit Country", the 100th episode, and does this argument have a point?
