As Huckleberry Finn once said, "As long as I was in, and in for good, I might as well go the whole hog." Which maybe isn't an apt quote to use on a man who is going whole hog in being racist where as Huck Finn was kind of doing the opposite. He was going against what he had been told was right (being a racist prick), presuming he'll go to Hell for his actions, to do a thing that was actually just. But see, the point is that he did the right thing not because he thought it was the right thing but that he did the right thing thinking that doing that thing would condemn him to Hell. See how that's more important? A whole lot of people who claim they're patriots should maybe take a long weekend to read Twain's book. Although they'll probably just take the opportunity to read it out loud so they can justify saying that one word. You know the word. You're thinking it right now, you monster.
