PRESS (11:31:) … But it’s an abomination. First it ranges two octaves most people can only do kind of one octave. I mean when you think about it, it’s bombs bursting in air rocket’s red glare it all kinds of, you know a lot of national anthems are that way, all kinds of military jargon and the land there’s only one phrase ‘the land of the free’ which is kind of nice and ‘the home of the brave?’ I don’t know.
OGBURN: I mean I get that part.
PRESS: Are we [Americans] the only ones who are brave on the planet? I mean all the brave people live here. I mean it’s just stupid I think. I’m embarrassed, I’m embarrassed every time I hear it.
Most liberals try to hide their disdain for America and anything patriotic. ..but not ole Bill Press
..expect the wingnuts to be unhinged........they know it’s over for ODUNGO
You are welcome to move, Bill. How about Great Britain where you can sing praises to the Queen?
Good. I encourage all leftists to be honest & open about their anti-american bias. They’ve been pretending for far too long.
A prisoner somehow gathered enough red, white and blue colored scraps of cloth to fashion an 8” x 10” or so facsimile of Old Glory.
He got up on his cellmate’s back, stuck the flag out through the barred window and started singing The Star Spangled Banner. The whole camp joined in.
The Norks took turns beating him all night long. It was a week before he was well enough to communicate what happened.
FU Bill Press.
IMO, Bill Press is an abomination.....
“Are we [Americans] the only ones who are brave on the planet?”
Bill, the point is that Americans are the only ones brave enough to throw off tyranny, and stand up for personal responsiblity, free from a dictatorial nanny state.
But who would expect a nanny state proponent, like yourself, to recognize that?
Pardon. That would of course be gooks, not norks.
Just who (with even a partially functioning brain cell) listens to this Asshat loser?
Who really cares if it’s “hard to sing”???? It doesn’t matter at all WHAT it sounds like...All that matters is the MEANING of the words......What it means is much, much, more important than if you can sing it “purty”
Bill Press? That idiot is still alive? He is toying with Darwin.
Mr Press, I am embarrassed by your lack of knowledge of the National Anthem, what it was about and what it was meant to convey. Further I am embarrassed that you are an American.
I’ll bet the fourth verse makes Press writhe in torment.
Last night, talking head Ed (nbc) said the “founding fathers saddled us with the Constitution” Never watch the lamestream garbage, but last night it was sort of fun. Well, I almost fell off the sofa! Did I really hear this?
Well I don’t know about anyone else, but it is my favorite song. PERIOD!
We think alike. He is a vicious, disgusting s.o.b. who should move to Havana where he'd feel more at home.
It is the duty of the government and the military to preserve and protect the natural rights of American citizens against foreign threats and assaults. They are doing what they are supposed to do.Only a contemptible libtard could find something wrong with that.
I’m sitting less than a mile from where the battle took place and the anthem was written. As a proud American who loves that song, I want to tell Press where exactly he can put his stupid, worthless opinion, but I don’t want to get banned for the proper use of profanity.
