Oh and since I'm on a roll here, that "freedom Ring" song SUCKS.

It's a divorce song, not American freedom.

BTW, the name of Sean’s theme song is called “Independence Day” by Martina McBride.

I think the title talks all about American Freedom.

The song is about getting a divorce.

Not quite, he song is about domestic abuse sung from a little girl's viewpoint. Here's two lines from the song:

"She tried to pretend he wasn't drinkin' again, but daddy left the proof on her cheek
I was only eight years old that summer, and I always seemed to be in the way"

The mother resolves the abuse by burning up their house, killing both the abuser and herself and making the girl an orphan:

"Well she lit up the sky that fourth of July
By the time that the fire men come
They just put out the flames and took down some names
Sent me to the county home"

Just one more example of endlessly depressing, mind messing country music. I don't know why Hannity uses it. Except maybe it just sounds good until you look at the whole song. Ditto for "Born on the 4th of July" by Springsteen.
