They really believe some sort of weird god has given them permission to judge and punish. Did they miraculously turn stone blind when they came to the words 'Judge not, that ye be not judged" and "Vengeance is mine, sayth the Lord" Possibly; their world is a strange one.

That is what you do when you know that in rational discourse you will lose." Amen to that. As well it is not related in any way to the teachings of Christ, it sadly is to some self styled Christians. Not is it the act of a patriot who appreciates and venerates what the founding citizens of the nation fought and died for. “Bravery is not wearing a t-shirt with a gun on it, carrying a flag with a snake, and screaming while someone is trying to to tell people how to contact their elected representatives.
