Bill Press is "Embarrassed" by our National Anthem. Are you?

Other national anthems seem to have a nicer melody as well as meaning. Take New Zealand for example:

Actually, I kind of like the National Anthem of Luxumberg.
And who could forget this pitched battle of musical ideology:



But it is to the last stanza of OUR national Anthem that always tugs at my sense of patriotism:

O thus be it ever when freemen shall stand
Between their lov’d home and the war’s desolation!
Blest with vict’ry and peace may the heav’n rescued land
Praise the power that hath made and preserv’d us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it 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.

Press can GET OUT if he is so embarrassed by it!

Apparently Bill Press is embarrassed a lot!
From Tim Tebow and Bill Press: Religion in Sports Part 1 (POLL)
December 17, 2011 "In a move of tremendous class (sarcasm), liberal radio host and former CNN host Bill Press sent a message for Tim Tebow: “S-T-F-U” about Jesus (which stands for “shut the f**k up”) while speaking on his radio show about his dislike for Tebow’s “in-your face” Christian faith yesterday.

Press went on to say “…And you know what I want to say, S.T.F.U. I’m tired of hearing Tim Tebow and all this Jesus Talk,” Press said. ”He better be praying hard this week, because he’s up against a real quarterback on Sunday — against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. Everybody wants to make him a hero. I think he’s a disgrace. I think he’s an embarrassment.”

The song is about Fort McHenry not surrendering to British forces during the War of 1812 while under attack by a large fleet. How is that not inspiring?

Did Bill Press check his CPUSA (Communist Party, USA) card to see what it says about our National Anthem before he opened his stupid mouth?

he is a slob

But I'm not surprised by his comments. He is a pure leftist idealogue.

No more need to be said. I'm PROUD.

Press can go to hell.

I have a different opinion, I don't feel strongly one way or another about the anthem because the anthem isn't whats important it's what the anthem stands for and I think it is a good question over whether the national anthem reflects us and what it means to be American anymore. I will be interested in hearing both sides of this argument before I say one side is more right than the other.

I am ASHAMED OF HIM! Petty little weasel.

I AM ashamed that people like Bill Press dare to call themselves Americans.

We must remember that we're part of something important, and that we must protect and care for our nation so we can turn it over to future generations in good, enduring shape.

To Bill, don't listen!

I'm embarassed by liberals.

I am not sure you can even call these nutsos Liberals anymore...they have gone off the deep end.

Good point. I remember disagreeing with Clinton but I did NOT hate him like I do these current progressives. They are the worst politicians in this countries history in my opinion.

Absolutely.

FIrst point I'd wish to make is that Bill Press, whoever he is, is insignificant. Secondly, Mr. Press always has the option to move to another swell country who's anthem he likes.

...

I love it !!

I believe I would say to Mr. Bill Press, how about you get yourself a nice big cup of "get the f#$k out of my country" and go find some commie country that has a national anthem that you won't be embarrassed to hear?

It took us over a century and a half to finally officially adopt this old English drinking song. I'm in favor of giving "The Star Spangled Banner" equal time. The tune really gets your attention and the lyrics are fantastic. Let's bring it to a vote in 2176.

Those of you who were born here in the US and do not like our National Anthem....can now pack up your commie tote bags and depart this great country.....and take that idiot in the White House with you.

Amen to that brother!

AMEN!!!

Bill Press, what a piece of work he is. Rather than bloviating to a fellow leftist weasel on a liberal talk show, would Bill Press have the courage to bloviate the same crap, at a convention of Normandy Invasion or FDNY/NYPD 911 survivors; better yet, a local chapter of current and former Special Operations members from all branches of the US Military?

This idiot has a problem with the military associations without realising they are the reason he's able to say the stupid things he does.Brilliant

I agree with Jesse Ventura!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Hey Bill, go fuc yourself!

The rocket's red glare was during the War of 1812, as the British were bombarding Fort McHenry Being held against his will aboard the HMS Minden, all that Francis Scott Key could do is watch during the rainy night as the smaller storm flag, lit up by the bombardment, still flew over the fort. The following morning, the smaller flag was lowered, and the larger, 15-star, 15 stripe flag was raised. Only then did he know how the battle had turned out. He was inspired by the American victory, and the flag, which became known as "The Star-Spangled Banner", flying over the fort. The British ships provided the rockets red glare, and the bombs bursting in air. It was a VERY popular song, back then.

Let him sing the national anthem of Cuba - if they have one!

I have always felt that America the Beautiful better captured the spirit of this nation.
Now don't harp on me the Star Spangled Banner is OK to.

Perhaps, but the lyrics to our National Anthem (all four stanzas) better reflect our founding.

Read both Key's words AND the Declaration of Independence; they both strike the same chord.

I mean your talking about Bill Press, come on already! What do you expect?

love it!

I'm embarrased by Bill Press and all lefties who know not how great America is. We will be happy to send him to a third world country of his choice.

I am embarrassed by Obama because he feels the same!
