US National Anthem Under Attack..

Well it seems now #BLM feels America at it's core is racist and they want the National Anthem to be changed...

The USA in meltdown mode.. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Man I am glad I don't live down there right now.. :lol:






ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? Do you really NOT UNDERSTAND that your turn is NEXT even though you live in Canada?


I remind you that it is NOT just ANTIFA and other radicals that are saying Canada is rotten to the core with systemic RACISM!


NDPee knucklehead Jagmeet Singh just got thrown out of our Parliament for insulting a Bloc Quebecois MP who refused to give



UNANIMOUS SUPPORT for Singh`s onerous claim that we are all systemic racists!


Cdn democracy has reached such a scandalously weak kneed state that it took a Bloc-head traitor to TEMPORARILY DERAIL


the Racist Crap Singh was trying to FORCE ON US - with LIE-beral support!


Singh rails about racism and no doubt will claim he has personally experienced it himself!


But how much of his life experience is actual racism and how much is because of his SLIMY VALUES and rotten character?


The guy rails against white privilege from his highly paid position as a leader of a Cdn political party - getting paid the kind of yearly


salary and ESPECIALLY ACCRUING the kind of PENSION the rest of us can only dream of!



GOD ONLY KNOWS what Singh would claim as fair pay and equal treatment - to OUR HUGE COST - if he ever gained full control of our govt! But we do have a HINT as to what Singh`s version of justice would cost - we have only to look at the economic CHAOS that descended on Ontari-owe during the four year reign of NDPee premier Bob (BOOB!) Rae - with things getting SO BAD that Rae was forced to create his notorious Rae Days and send civil servants- INCLUDING NURSES AND DOCTORS HOME - for forced UNPAID DAYS OFF!

Thus we can clearly see that it is NDPee and values and Singhs personal opinions that are so deeply offending huge swaths of the



Cdn public - and that IS A VALUE JUDGEMENT regarding Singh`s CHARACTER and nothing to do with race or religion!


Singh rails against Capitalism and Corporations - while vociferously defending UNION HOGS who have sold Singh and to his slimy



political fellow traveller and ally Trudope their votes in exchange for GRAVY granted by LIE-beral minded govt at tax payer expense -



clearly an economic BIAS that Singh PERSONALLY PROFITS FROM by buying those HOG VOTES!!


Thus again Singh is condemned - by his Radical Socialist values and hypocrite character and NOT by his skin colour or religion!



Singh has a history of working as a defense lawyer and - and by amazing coincidence - Cdns are DISGUSTED by how easily and



how often thugs get bail and how often they also get LIGHT SENTENCING in exchange for NASTY CRIMES



courtesy of LIE-beral hug a thug judges and defense lawyers like Singh - who too often demonstrate that they think Cdn justice is



JUST FINE - as long as their FEES ARE PAID and to HELL with the what the angry and frightened Cdn Public thinks!


Cdns are DISGUSTED with the costly and ineffective LIE-beral legal system that dorks like Singh support



and thus SINGH IS AGAIN CONDEMNED FOR HIS VALUES - rather than his race or religion!


In other news - LIE-berals are allegedly seeking to bring out a new aid package for small biz and it is being held up by racist dorks



like Jagmeet Singh! Jag OBJECTS to the inclusion of provisions in the new aid package that would include LEGAL PUNISHMENTS



up to and including jail time for people who illegally access either CERB or the newer govt aid packages for small biz!


And yet again we see Jagmeet Singh DELIBERATELY INSULTING CDNS by refusing to consider that people who are using



FAKE ID and or FAKE BIZ CREDENTIALS to access govt aid should be considered as CRIMINALS COMMITTING FRAUD!


Singh much prefers to whine about "poor people" who accidentally make claims beyond what they are entitled to get - as if most Cdns



routinely carry several sets of ID and make a necessary habit of applying for govt aid money under MULTIPLE NAMES!


So once again Singh stands condemned as a JACKASS for the sake of his values and character



RATHER THAN for his race or religion!


The FACT IS Boomer -that if odious twits like Singh and Our idiot Boy Justin get their way - you might as well be living in ALABAMA!

In this case I agree with those who want to drop the 3rd verse of the 'Star spangled banner'. The end of the verse specifically endorses slavery & the punishment of slaves.

Cuz everyone sings all three verses every day. And in no way does it endorse slavery, it just states that there are slaves.

We already did that, but not for your smart-ass reason. We did it because Brits are our BFFs now.

There has also long been a push to replace it with "America the Beautiful," because it's singable and because it doesn't refer to a war nobody remembers.

There are four verses, you retard, and the third doesn't endorse slavery or even say there are slaves. It was the fashion of the day in the U.S. to refer to the subjects of monarchies as slaves. Pretty ironic for a country that actually had chattel slavery. "Hireling" is an insult based on the British use of mercenaries in our Revolutionary War.

But its Gershwin.

THANK YOU FOR THAT POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Unlike your usual stuff - it is EXCELLENT!


My own take on the issue is this:::






Some people are BADLY CONFUSED about the wording of the Star Spangled Banner!

The KEY section appears to be this one:

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore, That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion A home and a Country should leave us no more? Their blood has wash'd out their foul footstep's pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave, And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

The following lines seem most controversial:

The “band that so vauntingly swore” is of course the British army!

The reference to “hireling and slave” is NOT a reference to black people!

Rather it is a reference to the HESSIAN TROOPS that Britain HIRED from the king of the Germanic Province of Hesse!

Yankees of the time considered the Hessians to be mercenaries at best and SLAVES to their aristocratic rulers at worst and Yankees considered that Hessians were spiritless creatures so demoralized that they automatically followed any orders issued to them!

T-bonesforbrains is entirely correct (YES- give credit here when it is due) to state that Yankees of that Revolutionary era habitually referred to inhabitants of European countries as “SLAVES’ since their Monarch Rulers held absolute power!

Readers of Yankee history will KNOW that Hessians were held in GREAT CONTEMPT by Yankees because of their Mercenary status



- hence the sneering reference to HESSIAN SLAVES!

The way things are going I'm not surprised Jay Zed and Buoyancy arent writing a new one.
I really don't care. As far as I'm concerned, all this horseshit about flags and statues and songs is just scared people who refuse to admit their society is less than perfect, because they'd have to work on changing it.

The sheer cowardice is depressing.
