socialist hellholes filled with communists and liberals. No real 'murkan would ever allow themselves to live in such a place. They probably don't have the freedumb to have basements full of guns, either. Fuckin' commie asshole surrender monkeys. Fuck those goddamn forreners. Probly don't even speek Englisc, err Engr - FUCK IT - MURKAN!!

Need I say ?
