O say can you see, by the dawns early light,
What so proudly we haild at the twilights last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight
Oer the ramparts we watchd 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
Oer the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep
Where the foes haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, oer the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the mornings first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream,
Tis the star-spangled bannerO long may it wave
Oer the land of the free and the home of the brave!
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore,
That the havoc of war and the battles confusion
A home and a Country should leave us no more?
Their blood has washd 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
Oer the land of the free and the home of the brave.
O thus be it ever when freemen shall stand
Between their lovd home and the wars desolation!
Blest with victry and peace may the heavn rescued land
Praise the power that hath made and preservd 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
Oer the land of the free and the home of the brave.
so he’s actually defending a band of mercenary turncoats who fought for the British and killed who knows how many Americans?! King and other pathetic Commie bastards HATE America with a totally unhinged fury.
When it is not appropriate to sing along I go over the words in my head.
Far too many people don't know there are additional verses. If they do know there are additional verses they have no clue what the words are.

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!

It could be that I am dance, but I don’t see where it advocates murder of slaves, Merely said that it happens in war. Am I missing something profound that this brilliant scholar has grasped?
and on another note I will never do math again as long as I live because we use the Arabic numerals system and Arabs are the ones that enslaved all these people.
The “hireling and slave” refers to manner in which the British filled the ranks of their armies with mercenaries and their navies with the press gang.
Learning a little history increases understanding. Ask this propagator of agendas how many nations had renounced slavery in 1814.
