OBAMBI: “That’s not the national anthem I knew!”
or..... “That’s not the black nationalist fanaticism I knew!”
Nice song....very bad idea.
The words are great—written by James Weldon Johnson around 1900.
Unfortunately, his warning seems not to have been heeded:
“Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee,
Lest, our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee;
Shadowed beneath Thy hand,
May we forever stand,
True to our God,
True to our native land.”
I think a community which has never in 30 years elected someone to Congress who is anti-abortion, anti-same-sex marriage, or anti-gay rights; which tolerates an immense amount of anti-semitism in its ranks; which tolerates large cults which hate whites, Jews, Asians, etc; which
spurns education as ‘acting white’; etc.
couldn’t be said to have been “true to our God”.
When America finally blows (and it WILL), it’s going to be horrendous.

Go back and read my post again, we are on the same side of this issue.
Welcome to Colorado.

The tune of “Lift up your voice and sing” is a very nice one; I suspect a good many Black Americans and quite a few white ones who know that tune were not pleased to have the words jazzily superimposed on the tune of the Star Spangled Banner. And for that matter, the singer did not sing the latter tune all that well either. Presumptuous little twit, I’d say. She won’t get far on American Idol.
Thanks for the ping DC. Hadn’t heard about this. Disgusting that our national anthem wouldn’t be sung. They want to totally remake this country from top to bottom or have several Americas depending on what skin color you are.
Ping.
I don't believe that's POSSIBLE. You'd have to slur a bunch of words to make it fit, and even then it's an ugly, broken thing.
Aside from the profound insult it would offer.
Funny how much it's like Obama thinking he can just hijack the Great Seal for his purposes, isn't it????
Obama's been fantasizing about taking Colorado - this just brings right back to the front all the Wright and black liberation theology nonsense. Won't help.
If Obama gets elected get used to it.
Good grief, Charlie Brown - it’s liberal country, don’t ya know?
“When America finally blows (and it WILL), it’s going to be horrendous.”
Yup. It won’t be a time for the squeamish. Can you say “Lock and Load?”
Thanks for the ping. I’m glad I was working all day and missed the news and talk radio today...at least I was in a GREAT mood most of the day!
