Interestingly, at the Democrat Presidential debate last week, (sponsored by the Congressional Black Caucus), The candidates were asked their favorite song. Dick Gephardt named "Born in the USA" as his favorite. One wonders if that is because he didn't understand the words, or because he did...

There is NOTHING you can say to convince people that this is NOT a patriotic song. It is called Born In The USA, it is sung by Mr. All-America himself, The Boss, so it MUST be a patriotic song. Period! End of Conversation!

It was played at Yankee Stadium on 9/25/01, the first game played at Yankee Stadium after 9/11/01. The Yankees had a wonderful pre-game ceremony that night, and playing Born In The USA was part of it.

I wrote the Yankees to praise them for the ceremony but also suggesting they NOT play BITUSA again at Yankees Stadium because it is really an anti-war, mainly anti-American song, NOT a patriotic song. The Yankees never answered my letter, so I don't know one way or the other if the song is still ever played at Yankee Stadium.

That both Ronald Reagan liked the song in 1984 and Dick Gephardt likes the song today how shows you how easy getting on a bandwagon can be.

People are such sheep, at times!
