already had a thread on this. I believe it is the 4th verse actually...

Liberals are convinced he is a hack that just wanted to sing to the crowd.

I can't wait for the people to come in and say that the song is "hurtful" to the illegal immigrants and they want to sue...

What so offensive about this? I knew these lyrics and am proud of them. I sing them every Fourth of July...and even when it is not.

What are you expecting from this thread?

I do not believe in God and think that the concept of "god" is for the delusional but that line is a part of history. I support it in the National Anthem because that is the original version of it.

I do NOT support it in the Pledge because it was altered for religious propaganda and brainwashing. The original pledge did NOT include "Under god" so why was it added?

But in the National Anthem, it has always been in there-in its original form-so therefore it is not wrong and offensive. I sing it all proudly. There is no religious propaganda there.

Every American knows the first verse of the Star Spangled Banner, very few know the others.

Same goes for the Marsellaise - every French person knows the first verse, very few know the others.

And as "God Save The Queen" has 60 verses, how many Brits do you think know anything other than the first or at most the second?

That's just something stupid for extremists to fight about... who really cares, and who really sings the whole thing and not just the first verse? Maybe just me, which is very likely b/c I am lazy and keep everything to a minimum. Even singing.
