O! say can you see by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. O! say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
O! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand Between their loved home and the war's desolation! Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto: 'In God is our trust.' And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
You couldn’t sing that second verse in any High School or College today. The ACLU would sue to prevent it. And the courts would side with them.
Then I say that we sing the two verse version at tea parties and other gatherings!
My favorite.
Of all the pictures of Zero, that one is the most telling. No matter how many times I see it, it angers me. He doesn’t deserve to be president(usurper). I believe he hates America and all she stands for.
