I thought about putting up a video like this today, and the first one that popped into my head was WHITNEY... you are right, about the best delivery I can recall in all my days, man did she have the pipes before she got all screwed up
Thanks for thinking of me. The National Anthem IS Independence Day to me.
I attended a patriotic rally at a large city park where I live and a fireworks show. I'm sure that Democrats who attended melted like the Wicked Witch of the West after a bucket of water was dumped on her.
40,000+ people stood, took off their hats and sang the National Anthem. It was a celebration of America, not a celebration of the differences between us as individuals (how un-progressive). There was a prayer to open the event - and I'm sure that might have been a hint to progressives attending that it wouldn't go THEIR way.
Where my family sat on the grass, there was a Coptic (Egyptian Christian) priest and some of his flock on one side, and a Jewish rabbi on the other. There were many Muslims there too. (Southern California is a melting pot) America is a nation of many races, many places of origin, many different backgrounds - but AMERICANS are ONE PEOPLE.
Put it here ... I can't wait to read it. I have the Captcha turned OFF but blogger insists it be there. You should be able to bypass it.
