In reply to the discussion: If Stupid Could Fly... [View all]soldierant
(9,372 posts)59. Thanks in the info.
I assume it was "Lift Every Voice" which had all the MAGAts undies in wads, though.
America the Beautiful would be better than what we have, but not perfect, and expecially if only the first verse were sung. Too many people hear "God shed his grace on thee" as a past tense instead of a subjunctive, and therefore a fait accompli. If we could substitute the one from ([I think] the third verse ]but it might be the second]), I'd feel better about it:
"America, America, God mend thine every flaw!
Confirm thy soul in self-control, thy liberty in law!"
At least that would add some much-needed humility to it. But, of course, it would still be questionable as to church-state separation.

Doesn't playing two national anthems break the law that only exists in Booberts head?

I wonder when that started, indulging in patriotic rituals before certain sporting events?

"If stupid could fly, you'd be a jet", is totally unfair to Lauren Boebert.
