Are You Now, or Have You Ever Been a Member of the Communist Party?

You are not an American because you won't salute the American Flag.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pledge_of_Allegiance

1892 (first version)
"I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

1892 to 1923
"I pledge allegiance to my Flag and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

1923 to 1954
"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

PRESENT DAY

"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

Separation of Church and State.. Maybe.. but you will say UNDER GOD... OR ELSE....

Now... Our National Anthem. *Salutes with one hand and voice dictates*

Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

What about the rest of it....

n the shore dimly seen thro' the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner: O, long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wash'd out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

O, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand,
Between their lov'd homes and the war's desolation;
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land
Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserv'd us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust"
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Why dont we say the rest of it? Now if you want to be a true patriot, we need to say the whole thing?

Instead of 1:45 mins in singing the first stanza. You spend a whole 10:00 min singing the whole thing.

Now why would you wonder I am being nitpiky about this. Simple. We use this for every single event. From Christmas Tree Lightings, to the start of a food truck festival. Now how is a food truck and a Christmas Tree Lighting patriotic? simple. They make it that way.

Every chance someone gets they will make it into a Red-White-Blue event, when it dont even pertain to it.

During the darkest time in our country, Sept 11, 2001 (which is now coming on 15 years) We had the 7th inning stretch where we sang "God Bless America"

We fail to sing the 1st stanza... WHY....

"While the storm clouds gather far across the sea,
Let us swear allegiance to a land that's free,
Let us all be grateful for a land so fair,
As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer. "

...........................

God Bless America,
Land that I love.
Stand beside her, and guide her
through the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam
God bless America, My home sweet home.

We are going to.. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!!!

*POUNDS CHEST*

SHOW ME YOUR WAR FACE! Show me the face your going to use when you attempt to build that wall!

You are not a true patriot because you do not support Donald Trump. You are a communist or a Liberturd or a Fucking Liberal.

So if your really want to make AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.... Lets sing the WHOLE STAR SPANGLE BANNER and the WHOLE GOD BLESS AMERICA
