I wasn't aware that they were being forced to listen to it. When ever I hear a bunch of crap about gorebull warming I turn it off. There are so man people out there making up stories to get hurt by.

If these people think the first verse of the National Anthem is too strong, they should try the fourth.

Not the way I’ve heard it screeched at some public performances. And the last the very end lasts for about 20 minutes of wailing.

Look at all of the great stuff related to the Star Spangled Banner at the Library of Congress. The national anthem is 200 years old this year.

Of course it's militaristic. British General Ross had recently defeated our forces in Bladensburg, burned DC, and was on his way to capture the strategically important port of Baltimore.

Anyone who has a problem with it should review the Battle of North Point and Battle of Baltimore to understand just how important they were to preserving our young nation.

Many years ago,30 or so, a Los Angeles TV Station wussy guy
complained about the Star Spangled Banner because “It had things about bombs and stuff in it”. OMG!

This gives me an idea: Why not make *new* verses to the Star Spangled Banner that reflect the good parts of our history since it was written (1814)?

And the best part about this is that the Democrats and leftists get little or no mention at all.

Instead it focuses on things like the Civil War (being polite to both sides), World War I, World War II, the Pax Americana, winning the Cold War, landing on the Moon.

It should include something about America “spreading the democratic revolution around the world”, helping to free people from kings, dictators and tyrants.

Unabashedly patriotic, praising American industry, and it definitely needs an entire verse praising religious faith and moral character, individual accomplishment and the frontier spirit.

Hopefully it would make the left throw such a tantrum that they poop in their pants.

Japan has some touchy feely ones too:

If I go away to the sea,I shall be a corpse washed up.
If I go away to the mountain,I shall be a corpse in the grass.
But if I die for the Emperor,It will not be a regret.
