Just made me laugh. Like many rhetorically bloodthirsty, flag-waving blowhards, HD shows every sign that in real life he’s a gutless coward – despite being the right age, he didn’t volunteer for the military even after 9/11 (which I don’t think was or should be a moral requirement for Americans after 9/11 – but it’s still in amusing conflict with his type of bloodthirsty, flag-waving rhetoric), or for the border patrol if he’s worried about immigration, or the police if he’s worried about crime… in short, he just (by his posts, anyway) wants to fondle his guns in his basement, fantasize about killing liberals, and never actually be in any personal physical danger whatsoever.
