National Anthem is stupid..........

"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"? 
I weep for the direction that this country could very well be headed in...

I enjoy that our anthem has a slightly untraditional structure.

Shut the front door - tabsgalore2be can't actually be your username. One of the admins must be messing with us, right?

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.

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.
