Revolutionaries a couple of centuries back Even the Revolutionaries had disagreements among themselves. They still stood unified against the British empire. Even after the war there were bitter disagreements among the delegates during the Constitional covention. From what I have seen of documents at the time, they would make this forum look mild in comparison.

QFT, Brother Duck! We have a creeping socialism in our country, from the Left and from the Right, and that's our true enemy of the Republic.
Here's another quote you might find interesting from that era --> "That there are men in all countries who get their living by war, and by keeping up the quarrels of Nations, is as shocking as it is true; but when those who are concerned in the government of a country make it their study to sow discord, and cultivate prejudices among Nations, it becomes the more unpardonable." -- this bit was written by a rabble-rousing hippy-type named Thomas Paine, from his pamphlet Common Sense, and aptly titled, sez I... food for thought, in these troubled times, hmmm?
