Now, that patriot himself, Al Bundy:

Voting has never been the American way. We didn’t get away from that pansy country England by voting. We did it by throwing their stinking tea in our American harbor. And why? Because Americans don’t like tea. We like coffee. And Americans don’t like wine. We like beer. Ice cold. Ice cold, best in a bottle, but find in any way you can get it, belching, burping, wake-up-in-a-pool-of-it beer. So let’s show them how a man votes. Let’s get blitzed and take it to the streets. Let’s strike a blow anywhere they dine alfresco, anywhere they eat Brie cheese, and any way they wear their pants up high around their waist in the European way. The only thing Americans understand is mindless Tom and Jerry cartoon violence. So, let’s go kick some elite butt. Give me beer, or give me death!
