It clearly advocates iconic worship of the symbol of a slave owning opressive govenment. The Anthem does nothing to try and understand the thoughts and feelings of our enemy. By being in English only it unfairly excludes and ostacizes the Spanish, French, Russian, Hmong, Vietnamese, Laotian, Tagalog, Mandarin, Hindi, Punjabi (and all others) speaking citizens, non-citizens, and illegal immigrants of this country.

It is time for a change.

Nice post, very sarcastic in nature I hope.
