  2. I actually have herd it many times the last 77 years. But it was good to hear agin!

    I am very old; but I think Ronny’s America is worth fighting for! And am willing to die for it!

    As I was 54 yers ago!
    But ; I believed, as the kid 20 miles from here said, “The object is not to give my life for America; but to make the liberal give his life for liberalism!”!

    OK The quote is not totally right.

  6. as this is the occasion (or at least the federal recognition of) of celebrating our independence, I submit …

    … the only country in the history of the world to founded on an idea

    all citizens of this country, this United States, should never … ever apologize for what our ancestors created

    show me one other country that has sacrificed so much, given so much & asked so little in return to the rest of the world for those sacrifices … if you can find such a regime please go there with all such haste. I’ll even get up a fund for your immediate departure

  8. I agree that this is a very good version. However, Mr. Key wrote this as a poem, not a song. I know, it is a trivial difference, but I do want to make the distinction. I am thrilled that this version became our National Anthem. I will not denigrate any other versions because I have not heard them. Regardless, the current version sets a very high bar, and I do stand, put my hand over my heart and recite the pledge whenever it is appropriate.
    If you do not accept my beliefs (still waiting for someone to disagree), then I support your beliefs. All I ask is that you give me a calm and factual debate.

    Still waiting for takers. I will even admit I am not a genius. I am not the best person for that debate, but I will willingly accept the conversation and if you can successfully argue your point, I will accept it and willingly move on

  9. @RogerF(trademark) ~ Key himself took the poem to music publisher Thomas Carr, who set it to a ditty of the Society of Anacreon’s (a gourmand’ group) theme song “To Anacreon in Heaven” which established the theme to the National Anthem long before it became the ‘official’ song … the music that we play today

    not a debate … it is what it is

    PS … not really sure what your debate is all about … just trying to give some info on the subject
