How interesting 8-28 might be. I’d like to hear of anyone stopping that group from singing.

Well, you are right.

November can’t get here soon enough.

If we don’t take the power away from the traitor dems, then I am sure ready to give these bastards what they have been begging for.

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps’ pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

God I wish I lived closer. But for an unemployed person, traveling to DC from Ft. Lauderdale is cost-prohibitive.

Had they perhaps moved on to the later verses?

Singing Prison Blues
I saw the guard a comin, comin up those steps and I got told “ You can't sing that hymn”
Now I'm stuck in Singing Prison and life keeps passing by. When I hear that that gorgeous anthem, I hang my head and cry.

“A couple steps and it would have been no problem whatsoever.”

How many steps are we expected to take before civil liberties become non-existant?

First, I’m sincerely sorry that you’re unemployed and I pray that soon changes for you.

I live in Washington state and while I am retired, I don’t fly well because of health issues, or I would be there and push the envelope, even at the risk of being arrested for the first time in my life. This garbage is insane.

Those park police are Faciests power hungry nut-jobs. Back in 1995 I went on my Senior Trip to Washington D.C. One one of the days we were there we went to the Washington Monument there was a long line wrapping around the monument. There were a bunch of Pigeons there one of the students we were with tossed a pebble at one of the Pigeon's and the Park Policeman assigned to guard the monument came unglued and actually threatened that if he didn't stop throwing pebbles that “he could have seven helicopters there in five minutes,” I kid you not.

"I’m not sure how long would last without taking some idiot park officer out to the wood shed."

Been a long while since I've been to the Memorial... My first thought was, "how far is it to the nearest deep water?"

This wouldn’t have happened in 1943.
No one then would’ve even had the nightmare that it would be possible!

Guess it would have been OK if they were singing the Internationale instead.
