1. It takes a fool to link 'patriotism' (and only fools cant realise that concepts such as patriotism are abstract by nature and cannot be measured so easily) of public figures exclusively to their acts in public.
2. It takes a bigger fool to fail to distinguish between light heartedness and malafide intent. Most of them do not understand that these are two entirely different states of mind.
3. Even greater fools believe that they can garner public approval and admiration for being demonstratively shrill with what their pea brains construe as 'patriotism'. The poor suckers are unable to imagine that patriotism is too solemn in concept to account for vaudeville such as protesting against the colours of a cake. Only fools and those who are certain everyone else is a fool would assume that no one would care whether the cutting of a tri colour cake was intentional or incidental.
4. But only the monstrously dumb ones among the fraternity of fools would think nothing of creating a fuss over the colours of a cake when it cannot even occur to them that truly unpatriotic acts such as wholesale theft of national resources has become the rule rather than the exception with the ruling classes and knavery the foremost national trait of citizens.
