O say can we see, by the Gone’s early flight,
What so loudly we failed at the mornlight’s past gleaming,
Whose flawed stripes and strifed scars, through the perilous plight,
Our wan hearts, we watched, stirred and valiantly screaming.

And the rifle’s dread glare, bullets bursting in air,
Gave truth in our sight that our flag was not spared.
O say does that scar-mangled banner yet save
Our land of the free and the home of the brave?

1. I'm hearing a disjointed, haunted, nightmarish rendition

of the anthem that goes along with this poignant adaptation… like something from a horror movie…

[Nevilledog]

2. Same

[Bluethroughu]

3. Could it be any less true.

She impresses everytime.

[2naSalit]

4. K&R

[onecaliberal]

5. Such talent. K&R

[Talitha]

6. Sheesh, what doom and gloom! Might as well wave a white flag and give it all up.

As for me, I have faith in the strength of the USA's good people.

7. She hates America! She is disrespecting the anthem

She is not a true patriotic American. She should go back to where she came from.



The right wing response.

[Takket]

8. Pretty much sums up how I've felt all day...

[TeamProg]

9. K&R !!!!

10. Goes along perfectly with the all black I'm wearing,

as well as the animals huddled under my desk and around my chair, shaking with fear from the sounds of fireworks. So much for the high price of gas! They blow up all their money in a blast of smoke and gunpowder!
