    Nice to see patriotism isn't entirely dead in America today...

    What you are saying is that America is over-supplied with scoundrels.

    Donald Trump, on his own, would rate as an over-supply.

    Americans like fireworks and BBQs, almost nobody likes thugged-out
    hooligans in their granpa's Hugo Boss slacks strutting about their neighborhood.

    Least of all property owners, who tend to be the final arbiters of what
    is and isn't acceptable behavior here.

    Freedom of expression was a great idea, given that wingnuttery tends to
    be its own worst PR. "Oh yes please, let these Dungeons & Dragons
    dickheads strutting about right here have power, and manage my life." -
    some insane person. I hope they send a volunteer to goose step up and
    down in every neighborhood in full plate armor and battle shield at 2 AM
    every night immediately.

    Calm down, sugar. These people are NOT patriots. They're FEDs. So you can
    go to bed tonight secure in the knowledge that vigilanties aren't going to
    rape and pillage your community. ;-)

    I don't see that sort of thing around here. Sounds amusing.

    We do see some strange looking dogs.
