So now we should change the National Anthem?

Its not the first time getting rid of the Star Spangled Banner and replacing it with America, the Beautiful was proposed.
I suppose that won't fly now because of that line about 'Gods Grace'.
Something else to fight about.

I was confused by your remark then"
"I won't be drinking a toast to people's political leanings nor their intolerance of others. That is for sure."
Why were you talking about intolerance in this randomn statement? I failed to get your meaning.

I went back an reviewed the thread and it was about the choir not being allowed to sing the Star Spangled Banner and you indicated that your think it is offensive.
So I guess now we are not going to tolerate the national anthem. And I suggested America the Beautiful had been suggested in the past, but that we can't say God anymore, so you crowed about how religious people will be a minority in another 50 years, and I said I wouldn't be here to celebrate.
But somehow that justifies not using America the Beautiful as an anthem either.
So what song would you like?

Mea Culpa, I thought your post was meant to educate us in how offensive the lyrics are, and then your second post about Key being a real jerk.
So I got the wrong impression. Never meant to put any particular words in anyone's mouth.

I said that America the Beautiful was once proposed as an alternative anthem, but that I thought it would not be acceptable to many because of the words God Grace, and a fight would insue.
Wasn't wrong was I? As next thing I knew, you pulled up some stats that said we couldn't have that song because religious people would all be in the minority in 50 years.
Which song would you find acceptable?

Well, it works for 50 years so we have time to find something else....
What song do YOU like?
Of course you won't say. You'd rather just play contrary games. And I'm exhausted.
