Man these guys hate this country

Yet, as I mentioned above, this editorial is all over the map. He doesn't like the current national anthem, quotes a character from a play who uses a racist term, and uses the term "crazed theocrat," yet he suggest "God Bless America" as a replacement.

But of course we should never question their patriotism.

Man these guys hate this country.

They hate themselves almost as much as they hate us.

In this case the point is an aesthetic judgment that has legitimacy. The Star Spangled Banner is a very bad piece of prosody. There are better songs to be the National Anthem and most have been mentioned in thi thread.

Yes they do and they hate regular Americans such as you or I also. There is nothing to bad that could happen to this country and people such as post here in the eyes of these scum. They want the country broken and lots of us dead.

What they hate most, is that our anthem actually addresses war and intimates that we're more than willing to engage in it if the need arises.

America the Beautiful is a good song. It just doesn't express what brought us into being like the anthem does. It doesn't address the prices paid and how lucky we are for those sacrifices.
