Color me weird but listening to our anthem while watching the fireworks over LA still makes my hair stand on end.


I think of all those dead bodies in Arlington, cemeteries across our nation, overseas and the bodies that didn’t make it back all over the world that allow us to protest and campaign and complain against our govt policies.

To my way of thinking one should stand for our anthem, then drop to both knees to thank God for this country and the men & women that sacrificed all to allow us our Constitutional rights.

So many stupid bastids don’t know how fortunate we are.

But that’s just my take.


I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.
