This country's national anthem is about WAR.
Moving, descriptive lyrics about war.
Is it any wonder, since our independence from Britain, that our history is riddled with war, and that in recent times, that's all we seem to be about?
Any progress we've made towards cooperation and compassion seems to eventually be undone and negated (even if it takes decades).
We say and want the rest of the world to believe we're all about freedom, equality, pursuit of happiness, blah blah blah......
It's more like every man for himself, carrying a pistol if possible, taking what he wants.
Most nations are created because of war. DUmmy.

9. Our national anthem blows chunks.
As a kid, my mom was a Jehovah's Witness and me and my siblings would sit out both the pledge and the anthem in school.
The Witnesses eventually kicked my mom out of their church because she couldn't stay out of secular politics. Literally kicked her out, bouncers at the Kingdom Hall door. My siblings and I have a really funny story about my mom and a car and a structure but I'm not sure what the statute of limitations is.
Soon after we were Quakers who have similar pacifist anti-oath-taking beliefs, but a much higher tolerance for people like my mom who always say what they think.
Myself, I've reverted to my ancestral left wing social justice Catholicism, but I'm still a heretic. It's a family tradition.

Here's a DUmmy's idea of a proper US national anthem:

Here's a solution for you, DUmmies.
Pick a country whose anthem you like, and MOVE THERE!

DUmmies hate war. Without war, the blacks would still be on their plantations instead of in their Democrat Ghettos . Without war we'd have a Fascist one world government founded by the NAZI Socialists.
Heaven on earth for the DUmmies if the US never went to war.

This just goes to show how unworldly these people really are. There are many places more barbaric and rougher to live in than the U.S. They remind me of kids in gated communities that are fascinated with the ghetto across town, they really haven't the slightest clue as to what it's really like.

The Star-Spangled Banner is about bravery, resilience, and commitment. It's not about war. Anyone that thinks it is about war has either never heard it or is very, very stupid.

Well, I've gathered they've all heard it, so that narrows down the choices a lot...

I don't see Mr. "Social Justice" proposing his own version of a National Anthem.
