This is truly making a mountain out of a mole hill
/\
Ok.
I repent for calling it evil.
Listening to it , she may have not meant to be “ evil” ,
but to leave out a couple, 2, words
thus breaking the unifying spell and effect ,
was a bad idea and it did alienate part of us.
But hey, im used to being accused of makeing mountains out of mole hills.
Like in 9th grade when I confronted my teacher in front of my English class over the “ telephone” game that assaulted the concept of absolute truth, that poisoned the minds of my whole dang class.
Like when I confronted that same teacher and class
over the “ lifeboat” game that installed situational ethics and again poisoned my classmates morality.
Like when I tried to warn my peers over the creeping socialism in our government.
When I tried to warn my college business and finance class over the dangers of a debt based fiat currency installed by the Fed res act.
Or when I warned others that accepting homosexuality would lead to accepting pedosexuality.
Or that letting a Communist country , the ccp, whose goal was to overthrow our government, into the WTO and giving them most favored trade nation status.
Or ignoring scripture and ordaining women and sexually deviants into the clergy.
I could go on and on but you get my drift.
It IS the mole hills, that if not nipped in the bud, become mountains that bury and eventually kill our nation.
So ya, maybe I am a little trigger happy ( a euphemism dhs, FBI ).
Not
Sorry
for making mountains of mole hills.
I beg for your forgiveness, and apologize for just listening for the delivery aspect. Unaware that I needed to be listening to every word. Mainly because I didn't expect her to do skip words. That's what I get for trying to perform 2 tasks at the same time. 👍
I was really expecting some kind of performance like Roseanne Barr did a few years back, and that was where my half-attention was focused upon.
I just realized I wasn’t directing anything at you. So what 2 words did she omit. Most of what I have read is talking about her delivery. I see no mention of two words being omitted. So please indulge my request to provide the 2 missing words if you would.
Now, I know of no one that sings the entire poem Francis Scott Key penned, because the entire poem wasn't adopted as the National Anthem of the U.S.A.
But I still apologize if I offended you with my statement that the complaints are making a mountain out of a mole hill. But I still stand by that assessment. We have far bigger problems than that, and I doubt she offered it up with the intent of being disrespectful.
I wasn't crazy about her rendition, but neither was I upset. Because she paid respect to the National Anthem. Music artists always like doing a song in their preferred manner.
Sometimes it's an improvement, often times it is not. Her rendition falls into the 2nd category, as far as I am concerned. But I certainly wouldn't qualify it as evil, because it doesn't even come close to reaching the level of evil. Real evils have descended upon this nation. Ill advised yes, evil no way.
That's just my opinion. Not trying to denigrate your opinion, and in many ways I agree with your opinion.
Her version is fine, but don't sing it when the National Anthem is supposed to be sung as it was adopted, especially on the day where we are honoring those who died for this country, giving the biggest sacrifice anyone can give for their nation.
For that reason alone, I will state that she picked the wrong day for her to deliver her version.
Can we agree on that? 🙂
