Yea its pitiful...

The worst part for me here in Baltimore is that we are the birthplace of the the SSB. Yet when they sing the song at any event in Maryland when you get to the Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave


everyone screams OOOOO (because of the Orioles or O's...) It is disrepectful in my opinion and really gets under my skin.

Please don't claim to be an American. At best you are an american. Oh, and we don't want you in Canada either, we have enough people who don't care about their country here already...

Send him to Mexico.

Really... How can you call yourself an "A"merican?!! Have you no pride in what this country was founded on?

This is a perfect example of what this country is coming to. This is exhibit A to why our country is a joke to other countries. You don't deserve to celebrate tomorrow.

I think maybe my point didn't come across. I bolded the a to make sure they noticed it was a small a.

Not sure why I can't celebrate though, even though I live in Canada now, I'll still be flag waving and celebrating (pretty much just like every other day).

It's really not that funny. You kinda' ruined a good joke. I was waiting for someone to ask what the national anthem is, and then pounce...

Well, look it up and read the words. Then thank the people that have died so that you have the things you need to survive to live the next day...
