South Park Spoiler Alert!
(The complete plot for this South Park Episode)


So, Mr. Garrison agrees to let anyone protesting the war out of school early for a rally, as the episode was originally aired during the beginning of the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq, all the kids leave, even though they know little about the war. Some of the townspeople are protesting against the war, while others are supporting it. When the boys are interviewed outside the school for their views on what the Founding Fathers would think about this, it becomes clear that they do not know who the founding fathers were. Angered at the embarrassment, Garrison gives everybody an assignment to figure out an opinion on the Founders' view of the war. Stan, Kyle, and Kenny begin to study for their projects. Cartman, however, decides to take a different approach, trying to induce a flashback of the colonial era, first by saying cliched flashback inducing dialog, and then by dropping a large rock on his own head.
Meantime the South Park people are divided in two: hawks the pro-war and doves the anti-war and so the both parts plan rallies in the same day, time and place.
They wind up having a great argument during both rallies, and in the end get into a huge fight where they begin to all kill each other. Meanwhile, Cartman electrocutes himself in water with a TiVo full of colonial documentaries from The History Channel in order to induce a flashback. He falls into a coma, and in his mind, he travels back to the colonial era in Philadelphia. With a single murder, he manages to get the job of delivering the Declaration of Independence from Thomas Jefferson's home to the Continental Congress for a vote; there, a great argument breaks out about whether or not to go to war against England, paralleling the events in town, which Cartman recognizes as being "very, very relevant".
Benjamin Franklin shows up, as voiced by famed TV producer Norman Lear, also creative consultant for this episode. Franklin believes that the new country must not seem to be a war-monger to the rest of the world; at the same time it cannot seem to be weak either. Therefore it must go to war, but allow protests. The United States will go to war on one hand, and use protest to oppose the war on the other. He refers to the this as "saying one thing" and "doing another". One member refers to this as "having our cake and eating it too". Cartman wakes up and delivers his message to the town, who see the truth of that statement and then break out into song which is actually a version of "I'm a Little Bit Country" by Donny and Marie Osmond. In it, they celebrate their differences and their achievement; ending the song with the line, "For the war, against the war- who cares! One hundred episodes!". The 100th episode of the series ends with Kyle is disbelief that it was Cartman who saved the day and then saying "I hate this town. I really, really do".
