I have always favored the Battle Hymn of the Republic.
well, since we're throwing stuff against the wall, I nominate "Dixie"
That should irritate some folks

He was but one of a number of people like that. The Weather Underground once championed his group’s murders for taking it to the Capitalist Pigs in their own home and eating their food (to boot).

When in Japan in the 90’s, I saw Shoko Asahara with an entourage of young, brainless acolytes, some with huge elephant heads over their own heads. Years later, he started killing people.

“I’ve always favored America The Beautiful”.

Mark Levin sometimes closes his radio program with a version by Ray Charles. A two-fer—not “knee-worthy”.

It’s not just a song. It’s a symbol of this country. They hate this country and so want to eliminate this symbol.

I kind of agree. These people need their own nation with something more appropriate for them as an anthem. Some sort of split is going to happen.

Since much of the country seems to have gone batsh*t crazy and I sometimes feel like I’m living in the world of “Idiocracy”, I suggest “Team America’s” theme song “America, Fu*k Yeah!”

Oh well, I thought CW-II was not quite here.

Try that, *sswipe liberals, and it’s on.

We’ve had enough of small minded low IQ losers who will never succeed at anything trying to wreck everything. You are going to see wrecks, all right.

Bring it.
