I remember a couple of July the 4th ago, Jim Holsonback posted a copy of the
Declaration of Independence.  But you weren't having any of that shit, boy!
Not you!  I remember that for every good the Declaration mentioned, you
posted a corresponding bad - every sin on the soul of this country.  You did
this on her birthday.

You hate the United States of America to the depths of your disgusting,
cowardly heart, Otto.  You regard ALL patriotism to be phony because you
don't see how in the hell ANYBODY could love this country.  You are joined
in this hatred by several people here, most notably John Wilson, who detests
the United States so much that he retired in Canada.
