I was raised when it was implemented, and it still gives me chills to say it. I do not let lefties disgust of our flag and Country persuade me differently
Hey, you do you. I feel the same way about the National Anthem, even when people sing it weird.
Creepy as it's origins may be, Americans - esp elected officials - should still probably know it.
And I am not calling out anyone for feeling differently, as I believe this depends on when you were brought up. I also get chills on the National Anthem. Chris Stapleton was INCREDIBLE at the SB when he sang/played it. Other patriotic song that moves me is God bless the USA Lee Greenwood. I am a democrats worst nightmare.
Samuel Johnson is often misquoted as saying "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel."
Not talking about you my friend.
Hate to tell you, I doubt that 90% of our elected officials across the US actually knows the constitution. I doubt that 90% of the country knows it.
Most of the questions on the naturalization exam pertain to the Constitution. Maybe they should make passing that exam a requirement for holding office.
You made me think about this. I haven't repeated it in 50 years. I just recited it in my head without a problem. Sum Ting Wong with these woke politicians.
I like the song I remember it as a kid. Lee Greenwood on the other hand is a hack and I can take or leave him. IMHO you don't take your great patriotic song and slightly alter the lyrics, and sell it as God Bless Canada 5 years later. He's from California so I suppose he can't help it.
I feel very confident that people that pass the naturalization exam knows more than our natural born citizens.
Reading some of the comments in Yahoo articles, I agree with you 100%. Millennials and Gen X people are essentially clueless. There should be civics classes in high school.
I just did this again in my head. You know, that "indivisible with liberty" part is looking very sketchy these days.
They hate this country and what it stands for.You made me think about this. I haven't repeated it in 50 years. I just recited it in my head without a problem. Sum Ting Wong with these woke politicians.
I don't think wanting to change our country means they hate it. That is always a weak defense to argue against changes.
This reminds me of a very funny story. I was in 8th grade, and we had to memorize the pre amble of the Constitution. Well I THOUGHT I already knew it from fraggle rock. So I sung it in my head while reciting in front of the class...however at the beginning of the cartoon the song goes " We the people...in order to form a more perfect union" when the actual pre amble starts "We the people of the United States of America, in order to perform a more perfect union" So the teacher called me out for using fraggle rock in front of the class. I was embarrassed, as 8th grade is past cartoon time! LOLI wish they still used the fraggle rock stuff!You made me think about this. I haven't repeated it in 50 years. I just recited it in my head without a problem. Sum Ting Wong with these woke politicians.
Super good post...and DEAD ON. Libs do NOT love America...they love what America CAN DO FOR THEM. JFK has been rolling in his grave for decades for what they have become. Can you imagine if and WHEN the shiz hits the fan (like it did in WWII) these little POS's doing what it takes to keep America free? I CANNOT imagine it. They join the military to GET something from our Country...not because they want to serve our Nation.
Your way to look at it...but from a group of people who support DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) over "All men are created equal, with certain unalienable rights" I really have to question your post.
This is BS....I have ZERO problems with change IF an amendment is passed. Your side likes to question the validity of the Constitution when passing an amendment fails. That is the difference between REAL Americans...and democrats. (see roe vs wade)
My sainted mother made me help her study for it in 93.

The hell you say. Gen X is the last generation that actually knows how to do stuff.Reading some of the comments in Yahoo articles, I agree with you 100%. Millennials and Gen X people are essentially clueless. There should be civics classes in high school.
Having bad policy ideas can be found on BOTH sides, that doesn't mean that you hate the country. It just means that you have bad ideas. MTG wants a national divorce, that's definitely a bad idea. Just because you dislike a policy, shouldn't mean that someone hates the country. Everything you mentioned are "policy" decisions. That is literally why we have elections, to enforce, create and pass policies.
STOP RIGHT THERE, son..you are lying before you even get started. NAME EVERYTHING that is better under Brandon than under Trump to help America. If you cannot, then you are caught in your lie. Your statement is true..to a VERY small point...but EVERYTHING is worse under Brandon, and that is ALL that really matters. Afghanistan, Borders, Energy price, inflation, interest rates,
MTG is one person, everything I listed comes from The Party.
I'm getting old. And we're running out of alphabet. Do we start on betabet yet?
The J6 Jamboree happened because people are outraged at the apparent loss of free and fair elections. The same damned thing just happened in Brazil. The Deep State wants ZERO transparency that elections weren't tarnished. It's going to actually be violent going forward if that isn't fixed.
Everything you listed is not the party. You listed anything that you dislike from the left and made it the entire democratic party.
The conservative faction wants those agencies to "stay in their lanes" , be non partisan, and not become a weapon of the woke left...........which is EXACTLY what they've become.
