So now they want to change the National Anthem?

I wonder how many people actually read the article. I'll admit that I didn't the first time around, and I probably should have because it's even worse than OP portrayed it. In it, she quotes a really dumb sounding "activist" who says the national anthem should be John Lennon's "Imagine," which is one of the worst, most totalitarian songs ever written. She also declares that the third verse of The Star Spangled Banner, which mentions "the hireling and slave," is "horrific," since she believes it's about violence against slaves. But the verse is clearly a poetic way of taunting subjects of the King of England and mercenaries who were fighting against the Americans in the War of 1812. The most plausible connection to actual slavery would be the former slaves who joined the British army, but those were only a small portion of the British force, and there were quite a few black Americans fighting for the US.

Just a sloppy, sloppy, piece. But I guess this kind of thing is totally fine, while the NYT felt they had to apologize for not "fact checking" a piece by a US Senator.

one of my best friends is a DC fire fighter. His time is split between the fire truck and the ambulance. He has some amazing stories to tell ( as all first responders do). Sure there are BLM protestors but from his description the protests range from BLM, LBGTQ, climate, reproductive rights, immigration ..... basically all these douche canoes came out of the wood work. He said it’s a sea of rainbows and bullshit and the black residents of DC are pissed that their cause has been hijacked by white gender studies and philosophy students.

Look at this shit .....

I say that to say this .... a lot of those protestors absolutely know who Mao, Lenin, Castro, and Che are but they only know that they stood for “equality” and stood against the “evils” of capitalism. Their college professors skim over the chapters involving blight/famine, inflation, and genocide. They fail to teach these children that their hero’s came to believe that “all are equal ... but some are more equal than others”.


Animal Farm should be required reading by all.


And just some numbers ... between 1500 and 1860 approximately 10 to 15 Million Africans were forcefully transported from Africa to North America. Awful ... terrible ...

Since the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 it is estimated that 200 Million people have died worldwide because of hunger, sickness, or murder associated with modern socialism revolts. (Majority of deaths in the Soviet Union and China of course ... but socialism always ends in murder and death)

she specifically stated the ad was on craiglist

make sure you get paid

seems like those who are paying people to protest could be held liable

No.

There's nothing wrong with our great national anthem. And there's nothing wrong with our great American flag.

If these cancel culture son of a bitches don't like it, fine. They are free to move to a different country.

This shit is getting beyond ridiculous. Good grief.

What we are witnessing is the process of a NWO Takeover... The 2nd Goal of the NWO is “To Utterly & Completely Destroy All National Pride & National Identity, which was a Primary Consideration if a One World Government was to work.” Antifa & Black Lives Matters are both funded by George Soros, a Committee Of 300 Member in the NWO. The folks tearing down our monuments & changing & wanting to change the names to our Entities, Universities, buildings, National Anthem, Flag & so Forth think they are doing it for restitution for inequality. The NWO has their own Agenda... A NWO Takeover of our Country. If Trump is ousted we will become a Socialist Nation, putting us all in Bondage. They will ...

Tax us into Oblivion
Tell us where we can & can’t live & visit (Agenda 21)
Our Religious freedoms will be compromised
There will be little to no air travel
They will require everyone to receive The Mark of the Beast (Those who don’t won’t be able to buy or sell)
We will be required to Worship the Beast/Antichrist (Those who don’t will be Terminated) (Revelation 13)

Those who take the Mark & Worship The Beast/Antichrist will participate in one of 16 Plagues from GOD starting in Revelation 6, the 6Th Seal. After they perish, they will spend eternity in the Lake Of Fire (Revelation 14 & Revelation 20:15
