I just have to say I love our National Anthem.

[The_Hammer]

I didn't want to put this in the flame zone and GD is for non-political stuff.

I'm sorry but I must I love the star spangled banner. And I mean the whole thing, not just the first verse. It just so greatly describes our country and I get pissed off to all hell when people try an screw it up (our nation that is). Honestly, not lying, I tear up whenever I hear the whole thing sung in full. Americas reputation has been sullied, our nations leaders have dragged it through the mud and we've got to bring ourselves back to the top. We are the great experiment as far as nations are concerned. We have held through all the tough stuff and we shouldn't fall now.

Sorry just thought I'd say that.

You realize of course the melody was stolen from a bawdy British drinking song?

 

[The_Hammer]

I do indeed. But the lyrics are what make it.

 

[Ravi]

I can take it or leave it. Not the easiest sing along song.

 

[Angel Heart]

I have no problem with that.

Well, the first states were stolen from bawdy drunk Brits, so that seems appropriate

Especially if you don't know the words or appreciate the country, eh?

 

[Ravi]

Yes, exactly Allie.

 

[AllieBaba]

Miss Baba to you, twerp.

 

[Gungnir]

Much better than the Hoarse Weasel.

 

[mattskramer]

It us a little bit to violent an militaristic for me. I’d prefer the peaceful beautiful immagery of “This Land is Your land”. That should have been our national anthum.

 

[Shogun]

I dunno. I think it illustrates well the struggle for the creation of our nation.

 

[Glori.B]

Yes, exactly Allie.

i agree with you ravi!
i prefer singing "my country 'tis of thee" and "america the beautiful".

Okay, WHO is using matts ID? Two misspelled words? No way.

I prefer "Friends in Low Places," myself.

 

[Dr Grump]

I count three...

 

[Shogun]

Five-ah-ah-ah!

I count FIVE misspelled words!

 

[dread]

Sho,
