  1. David,

    You know, these "patriots" you keep mentioning are a troubling bunch.

    They have no respect for law and order. They must be brought to heel in order for the lawful government of the colonies to endure.

    Agents of the government should deal with them harshly. How dare they oppose the most powerful nation on earth; the hubris of them!
