Star spangled banner

I’ve always liked The Star Spangled Banner better than any other national anthem. Now that I know the back story, I like it even more. If you’ve never heard this, please give it a listen. The story is very moving.

@bijouxbroussard Sweetie. Those people had already lost their minds. Trump was just someone who gave them permission to show the world the corruption of their souls and the putrefaction of their minds. I look at trump and imagine looking into his head and instead of a brain there’s this.

Ned! Hi. This is Serenitree. New name. New look. But the same old me. Just a little healthier and a whole lot happier than I use to be.

I truly wish I could admire the man, alas I cannot. You should read what he thought of those who were permanently enslaved, and remained so even after the British were defeated.

@bijouxbroussard Unfortunately, there will always be tyranny and greed and that awful word….*entitlement*. I don’t see an end to it..not in my lifetime, at any rate.

@DragonBlue Nor do I. Did you know that in some southern states some laws have been proposed, if not yet passed, to prohibit teaching any aspects of our history that might make white students "uncomfortable" ? With that wording. Even things that actually happened.

Some school groups in Texas are refusing to discuss Dr. Martin Luther King, labeling him a ”racist".

Sometimes I think my countrymen lost their collective minds after Donald Trump was president.

I respect your argument, but the best national anthem was the Armenian SSR by music alone

@DragonBlue obviously the Lenin and Stalin references suck, but the music, not the lyrics were composed by classical Armenian composer Aram Khachaturian. Here are the lyrics though
