I have to give you credit Jill. Not everyone could have heard the strains of America the Beautiful and thought, "How can we make this into something jingoistic and xenophobic?" But you gave it your best and succeeded admirably.

Cramps, you hate America to begin with. How many jigs did you do? Did you do one for each Imperialist Lackey shot by the soon to be Martyred Hasan?
Do you daily or hourly lament people in the USA still have the right to tell you to go monica yourself?

Bumps, I love America and use satire as a tool to express the danger many of us see to this beloved country.

PCD, is that drivel even in English? In what little inbred moronic cesspit does that pass for "real debate?"
I suppose I should be grateful that you at least stand as a cautionary example against letting kids grow up to be Palin conservatives much like the syphilitic beggars on the streets of 17th Century London.

Jill, so you honor America by degrading its traditions and institutions? What little ditties have you mangled out of the Star Spangled Banner?
It was fun to watch the Bachmannites last week pledging allegiance to the government they work calling to be overthrown. Do you have any of those twisted bits of irony in you? Please share again.

It is no secret I am not confortable with PCD's level of rhetoric, I've told him so.
I choose to ignore it. If you want to go to the same level Grumps, that is your choice.
Actually you are a lot like him.

Grumps, Can't do the Star Spangled Banner. It's been done by someone much greater than I, none other than Paul Shanklin:

Does anyone know why "Our Country 'Tis of Thee" is the exact same melody as the English National Anthem - "God Save our Queen"?

"Jill, so you honor America by degrading its traditions and institutions?"
There was nothing degrading about the satiric words. Please look up satire grumps to find out what it means. Jill's words hit pretty much on TRUTH these days. It's people like you who still live in your dream world and refuse to acknowledge what is happening in America today. We aren't in Kansas anymore!

Sandra, I've often wondered about that, since when I lived in Canada we used to have to sing "God Save the Queen" every morning before school beganl.
I suppose it's because it's an easy melody for which the words can easily be changed, and everybody can sing along---but I don't really know.

Jill, if anyone degrades America, it is Cramps, Capper, The Union Goon, and Jay Bullroar.
Keep singing darling.

Sandra, The Library of Congress website has more than you'll ever want to know about the history of the music for "My Country Tis of Thee" and "God Save the Queen." At least six other countries used the same melody as their national anthem or other song, including Prussia, Denmark and the tiny Liechtenstein.

I can't tell you how much I agree with Jack. My Son called on election day. I actually chocked up and told him I was so sorry for the results..I feared the worse was ahead and that America as we knew it might be gone forever. Yet it's actually worse than I feared! If we can stop this health care and Cap and Trade nonsense. we can still get it back. But TIme is running out fast!
