It’s funny, you’d probably not be able to pop off like that if it weren’t for the dead at Ft. McHenry.

Where would we be without those brave dead who fought in a war we started and didn't win? I guess we wouldn't have Florida...

It must be exhausting to constantly filter the world through the lens of political beliefs.

I could say the same to you, though I struggle to think why you think my political beliefs have warped my understanding of the War of 1812.

Why did you bring up Florida?

Because it's territory we gained in the War of 1812.

..."pop off"?

I get the impression that you're inferring things about me that aren't actually real. Such as a lack of respect for the fallen.
