I hope and pray to not ever hear Joe Loserman's or Hitlery's voice, EVER promoting this.

This would give the demokratic leftist liberals a hay day.

"What the heck are they smoking in Colorado? Did all the hippies end up there?"

No, just Mexicans. They HATE America. This school even post information on their outside message board ONLY in Spanish.

Anyone ever hear of the "World Anthem" before?

I have heard of something like it. It is primarily a percussive piece.

The main score being a boot heel crushing into a face, repeatedly, and forever.

"This was never meant to take the place of the national anthem," Lundt said

Well then why did it?

"We believe there is a wonderful way to bring a message of hope, healing, peace and unification to all people”

This is BS. The UNITED STATES of AMERICA brings hope, healing and peace. Take your unification and shove it.

Sick I tell ya!

World Anthem

Is this the new euphemism for the "Internationale" ?

Could any theologians explain why God would do this?

Not a Theologian but I will give it a shot.

The world had just (a few hundred years before) been destroyed except for eight people because, to quote:
“And God said to Noah, "The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth. ” Gen 6:13

There is a theory that before the flood there was a very advance culture on earth, which is logical if you considered a few points.

1.) The world that they lived in was a very gentle as far climate.
2.) The people who lived there were much closer to genetic perfection
3.) They lived an extremely long time. If you are going to live 900 years you might take 200 to study how the grass grows. What is time to you? You have plenty of it.
4.) Everyone spoke the same language and so the free exchange of ideas was no problem at all.

After the flood some steps were taken to prevent this from continuing. The life span was shortened to an average of 70-80 years. The world became a much tougher place to live making survival hard. The water canopy was gone raising the amount of genetic mutation and decease on earth. And speech was confused preventing the free exchange of ideas.

This was meant to slow us down so that we would not destroy the earth before our ethics reach parity with our intelligence. Before the flood we reached a level of pure communal evil that we have not reached since, to the point only one person was considered worth saving out of the whole bunch. The rest of the family was saved because of him.

Aeons ago, at my high school graduation, we in the acapella choir sang "One World" (?correct title?), and to this day, it gives me chills to hear it. BUT it never took the place of The National Anthem -- which gives me both chills and tears. Of course, there was no 'one world', 'globalism' threat then

"One world built on a firm foundation.
One world no longer cursed by war.
Let no mortal man
Change the Master's plan,
One great world at peace once more--
One world built forevermore.
--------and on ------

It was more of an inspirational hymn, than a PC gimmick.

"We believe there is a wonderful way to bring a message of hope, healing, peace and unification to all people through the universal language of music ... to give the world a gift, to bring about a symbol for peace and a common spirit of trust toward the idea of one people, one world."

What a load of fetid dingo's kidneys

Throughout the world
We sing our praise to peace,
Our bond of love
Will serve us true for
All as one for all.

The 3 Musketeers?!? ;^)

Actually, more like the collective (the hive?) supporting all... from each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs... and individual rights be damned. The Collective is more important!

Please don't discredit hippies like this. To compare is an insult, don't you think?

Two years to create such dribble. The 'mountain labors, etc.' They already had one in place -- as cloyingly insipid -- 'It's a Small World After All'.
