Star Spangled Banner

I'll put up the Kansas tune "Song for America." It's even more appropriate, being written by a state.

"This Land Is Your Land" -- Woody Guthrie

Although, that does feed into the creationist / intelligent design bullshit and my guess is big business would probably have a few issues with some of the later verses.

Me neither.
But, according to those uneducated who believe the third stanza is racist; we should.

Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

***I would hope a metric shit ton of people to sit or puke in protest of that shite song.
He's an opportunist with that song every time some disaster happens, to the tune of millions.
Fuck that guy and his god damn crap song.

What was that you were saying about hateful and vile, curse-filled posts?

Mark wasn't directing it at me; just expressing his opinion in general about something outside our little band of SC socially-disconnected misfits.

Interesting quote I saw on FB:

PSA: challenging and calling out a system of institutionalized oppression and racism doesn’t equate to me being unappreciative or not thankful for the many blessings and achievements I have attained. It just means that it gets tiring having to defend my right to having them.

[BIGUN 1,424]

Interesting point. Thanks for sharing.

***I don't expect you to catch on, but what the hell.

Way to be unnecessarily rude. Like I said before, classy.

That's funny coming from you - maybe even a little ironic, but definitely hypocritical.

They should pick a song that's about how wonderful the country is - not the flag.

Woody Guthrie left you a song to be proud of. I won't post a link, you know it already.

Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Woody Guthrie was a communist. He should be recognized but in no way honored. Well, except his son was kind of cool.

Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

Woody Guthrie was a communist.

There is no proof of this whatsoever. While he is associated with their causes, he was simply a man traveling the country and sing about the plight of the common man.

There is, in my opinion, nothing wrong an artist critical of the US government and big business. In fact, there's everything right with that concept.

"this machine kills facists" 'nuff said about Woody. Arlo is still out there being cool.

America should not forget to celebrate this hero.

I believe more critical thinking about our government, and is status quo, is much more than just needed by you and those that are like minded.

We need to separate business from government as much as we can.

That means dissolving anything tha s socialized.

No. It makes sense - you just don't like it.

Just because it makes sense and you don't like it, doesn't make it any less true.

Which makes even less sense.
There's nothing to like when there is no meaning to the words you just threw out.

Have a good day.

It doesn't even make grammatical sense. It sounds like RushMC wrote it on a different topic.

How does that work?

Private companies enforcing laws and regulations? Isn't that mixing business and government?

Private military? Private Air Traffic control?

Privatise veterans medical care? Fully privatise education?

How is this going to work in your mind Turtle?

The details don't really matter. What's important is how you FEEL. Look at that word - socialism! It is very suspicious. It has lots of S'es in it, like subversive, or sedition, or even suspicious. Doesn't that make you feel worried, like that guy in a turban at the airport does? It should, if you listen to your gut!

Then just answer the question, people wouldn't have to guess at what you mean.
