Its some display of patriotism over some shit a bunch of churchie squatters did centuries ago.
At least you brits have a relevant discussion about nationhood and what that means.
Yankee doodles can shoot the shit about "freedom" all they like - but the US prison population (is it still the biggest in the world? Most imprisoned people ever in human history?) doesn't seem so free.
But it's not like anyone on bluelight has ever been to - or faced - imprisonment. I'm sure that only happens to bad people.
Freedom, fuck yeah! Let's go make some ISIS!
