"Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just"

Is from the Star Spangled Banner, the fourth stanza, I believe.

It continues

"And this be our motto, 'In God is our trust.'

Too bad you almost never hear those verses sung.

[FroggyTheGremlim]

I found the complete 4th stanza on Wikipedia. It’s quite moving.

O thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war’s desolation.
Blest with vict’ry 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![47]

“We were treated to essentially eighth-grade history...”

Maybe that’s what some folks need, so they can understand what America is about and what it ISN’T about. Now stop talking, sit up straight, and pay attention CNN!

Patriots who love America also loved the speech...

I’m trying to figure out why I should care what CNN thinks.

I think I watched CNN sometime in the ‘80’s, but I’m not sure.

I purposely turn my back on TV screens in airports, and listen to music through earbuds.

If it weren’t for posts like these, I wouldn’t know CNN existed at all.

Yet, his speech still went over their heads.

Kirby told the panel. "I could have gotten this off of watching 'Schoolhouse Rock' and I frankly didn't need all the militaristic, you know, displays of might. I think it's just, again, not who we are as a country."

Psh. If anything, we should have MORE displays of military might. Every single HS football game should have a local Guard unit doing some kind of flyover. Every college game should have space at the main entrance for a local Guard unit to post a couple guys with a humvee or whatever cool gear they have. Doesn't even have to be recruiters, just any guys so people get more exposure to the military and can talk to them and see what all we do. Last statistic I saw said something like only .6% of the population is serving, and less than a third have a family member in the military.
