We have to stand for God Bless America now?

Post by IMADreamer »

In my continuing series of anti patriotic posts today's topic is God Bless America. First off the song sucks. Second there is no reason to sing it at every damn event. Thirdly we now have to stand for it? Went to the game last night and just sat down when they trott the little poop factories out on the field to sing it and the anthem. So everyone stands for God Bless America. Everyone but me. Oh man did the guy next to me read me the riot act. I almost didn't stand for the anthem just to piss him off, but decided that the fine patriot next to me probably had a gun and would shoot me.

So why do we have to stand for God Bless America again?

Did they sing it before the Anthem? Usually it's in the 7th.

As a matter of fact, I'd nominate from the mountains, to the prairies, to the oceans white with foamas the most greatest best line ever. It makes me tear up every time.

Hey. You guys know what is awesome? Oceans. You know what else is awesome? Mountains. You know what else? Prairies. Maybe people don't think so, but they are. And, the country in general. Not the Country, America, but the countryside. Maybe other nations have a mixture of the three, but I can't think of a more diverse, beautiful and better geographical layout than America. That's not even mentioning the deserts or the lakes.

Bigger mountains, more native cultural identity/diversity.
