'God Bless America' is the worst song ever!

Here we go folks. Another Anti-America rant in order to transition this country into socialism. The ungrateful librats prefer to destroy American tradition for the sake of feelings and atheism. I'm not into religion but I love my country and honor our patriotic values. American apologist prefer to ban our beautiful culture but avoid trashing Muslims chanting to Allah in public prayers and foreigners patrotic traditions during their parades in America.

If you don't love what this country was built on or stands for, then go join ISIS and keep their sharia law. They seem to share your same hate.

From the article:

=> Part of my outrage stems from ponderous Mussolini-esque introduction of the song, when fans are asked to rise, remove their caps and place them over their hearts.

.... The song still embodies great things about America, but also our worst things: self-righteousness, forced piety, earnest self-reverence, foam.

.... I once went to a Brooklyn Cyclones game with a British guy named James Silver, who smiled when “God Bless America” was being played. “It’s exactly what I expect from Americans,” he said. “The self-righteousness, the patriotism. It’s always nice to see my opinions confirmed.” <=​

All spot-on correct. Groupthink has absolutely NOTHING to recommend it. It makes robots, zealots and mass enablers out of those who could have been individuals. And it has no business in a sporting event, any more than the National Anthem does, unless that event is somehow restricted to this country.

How come baseball -- which is played on every continent and popular in Canada, Asia and all over Latin America --- insists on starting every game with that exclusionary exercise, while football --- which is played only here --- doesn't? Makes no sense.

I like the article's coda line:

"If you want to thank God for blessing America, you can do it on Sunday in the other church."

What a deeply astute, lucid, well-planned articulate comment. My head swims in awe.

Wait, lemme write that down... H... U.... H.... I want to be sure to work this into my lexicon.

Can I use it as an adverb?

God Blessed America...then came the 1960's and then Clinton and then Obama. I'm afraid a once great nation is now in ruins.

What the OP completely left out of his OP --- and his title ---- was that this article is entirely about baseball.

Wonder why he went out of his way to omit that.

Oh wait, I can put this more eloquently with a word I just learned....

"huh?"

 

[The Great Goose]

Lesbians seek to destroy "God", because if a woman is enthralled to "God" then she cannot be enthralled to feminism/political correctness.

In religious communities, "God" frees man from the task of consistently subduing his woman, which allows him to focus on building a life for the family. This is why marriage is a religious institution. Without a universal ideology to enthrall Eve's mind, her fickle nature will allow forces outside the marriage to lead her astray.

Huh?

Pogo thinks singing the National Anthem is a form of 'taunting people', so it should be no surprise he feels 'taunted' by God Bless America'.

It's in the thread about the people singing the National Anthem at the 9/11 Memorial. Of course, you probably can't remember that far back. You'll probably need to PM a friendly mod and get them to delete for you.

You're more than welcome to join the Jihad and destroy us infidels and God.

If it actually existed ---- you could quote it. The site makes that easy to do.
But ----- no.

The silence therein is eloquent.

Yes, one has to wonder why the American haters stay here; there are planes and ships leaving every single day to all those more 'enlightened paradises. My guess is they're just fakes and cowards.

Ah, I see you don't deny it. Why should I go through that trouble over you? Why are you denying you said it? Feel stupid now for saying it?
