Liberals can’t stand the war/patriotic references in the SSB. If they could write a national anthem, I’m sure it would be all about diversity, unions, universal health care, and gay marriage.

The Star Spangled Banner is a beautiful tune when played with the dignity and respect it deserves.Not like these clownish freaks who have sang it at past sporting events.

I couldn’t agree more heartily with you. When played or sung traditionally and well, it is majestic and beautiful.

When done by the likes of Roseanne Barr and any number of performers, the disrespect is appalling.

Compare liberal performers singing it to the Marine Corps Band playing it.

‘Nuff said.

The national anthem simply tells the story of both our flag and country. How IRONIC in the 200th anniversary of the start of the war of 1812 this is even being a subject at all.

President Obama NEEDS to go, PERIOD!

A short correction to post number 18, “ I do end up questioning” the patriotism of liberals.

“For Mr. Obama, this is part of a lifelong pattern. As a teen, he willingly associated himself with the Communist, Frank Marshall Davis. As Grove City College professor, Paul Kengor, Ph.D., has shown in his book-length treatment, Frank Marshall Davis was a strong influence on the young Barack Obama, an influence that Obama himself acknowledged in his first memoir, Dreams from My Father.”

I am VERY SURPRISED that Grove City College, which is a VERY DEVOUT Christian college, DID NOT throw professor out on his ears.

“Press adds: “It is a major crusade of mine to get rid of the Star-Spangled Banner. Now I know you’re going to say I am not a true American, I’m not patriotic. I don’t think patriotism has anything to do with it. The National Anthem is just absolutely monumentally un-singable. I mean there’s so much wrong with it. I don’t know where to start. It’s an abomination.”

Then Mr. Press did not hear what I consider the best, all time presentation on the national anthem, sadly, we lost her early this year, the late Whitney Houston’s presentation of it which showed the different vocal levels of her presentation, the way it should be sung.
