"The National Anthem is just absolutely monumentally un-singable."
Tell that to these girls: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYd2WqXoe7E
The guy used to be the chair of the California Democratic Party. Which begs the question: Who gives a shit what he thinks?
Why is it that most other countries can have national pride...and nobody ever lifts a finger about it, yet patriotic Americans are accused by the liberal media of being "rednecks, intolerants, racists, warmongerers, blah blah blah"? :mad:
I weep for the direction that this country could very well be headed in...:(
Elf him. press has always been lower than slime on a snail's butt.

I enjoy that our anthem has a slightly untraditional structure.
Elf him.
I like that and will steal that for future use in the civilian world. :cool: Hope all is well, Pat.

The comment he says about the brave???? Does he not realize the time period? Everyone and their dogs were patriotic and brave. Now we have a bunch of F****** like that guy who bring our country down.

Shut the front door - tabsgalore2be can't actually be your username. One of the admins must be messing with us, right?
Hope all is well, Pat.
Fine and dandy! If you're in the area, give us a call. Parking isn't a problem here. :D

Although I agree it can be tough to sing, I like the fact that the tune was stolen from a Brit drinking society's anthem. :cool:

Nope I joined well over a year ago, I have posted my intro, and I changed my screen name probably about 3 weeks ago. TS said I was good on the intro and everything was going to transfer over.

It's only difficult to sing if you are tone deaf (have no vocal talent/can't sing for sh*t)/have a tin can for an ear. I can imagine genius there probably screeches, very feebly, I might add, like two cats f*cking in a bucket on a bungie cord when he opts to assault the public's auditory senses.

Is it bad to have a goal? It just so happens that I want to do everything that involves having a tab. But if it makes you happy I will change it to
"whattheQPswantme2be" lol.

I am what many of you might consider a screaming liberal. I support gay rights, ObamaCare, and absolute separation of Church and State.
But I am a patriot, and am absolutely appalled by the suggestion that we change our national anthem. Who IS this guy?! I understand the reasons for freedom of speech, but I DON'T understand how this man has a following large enough to justify a radio show. Put him on the street corner with the other loons!

"lol" - NOT. Your new user name will be along shortly. Based on your lack of an SA gene and public display of mongatardness, I think 'poopcruiser' would be an appropriate fit.
Wait one.

Generally stupid songs do not stand the test of time...you know popularity wise, and survivng longer than say a Run DMC song, or a Lady GaGa song :rolleyes:
I guess this radio host, Bill Press, has never seen a MLB game either. Probably too "American" for his tastes.
That guy (Press) is an idiot. I highly doubt that he has ever even read the Francis Scott Key poem in it's entirety nor does he understand why it was penned in the first place. Dang I dislike stupid people.
Nationally Syndicated talk show host? I am sure that some of his hardcore listeners probably agree with him, perhaps even all 20 of them. Personally I love it and whenever I hear it, it never fails to touch me emotionally and I am overwhelmed with an incredible sense of pride in our country.

How many tabs have you currently earned?
Are you even Airborne qualified?
To me, "everything that involves having a tab" would include attending the training and earning them.
Is zero considered "galore", in your world?

The best rendition of the National Anthem I have ever heard was sung by Kathryn Battle. My personal favorite was by a solo trumpet.
