Tomorrow morning I’m going to march down and buy a fucking flag pole, and a fucking flag, and I’m going to fly that fucker in front of my fucking house.
I’m also going go to dig out my fucking honorable discharge and my fucking citations and fucking hang them up on the fucking wall. There is no fucking real America and fake America, you scum. There is only one America.

I’m so happy they’re all loving a President Obama, even in Arizona.
