Denver Gets New National Anthem

At Tuesday’s State of the City address by Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper, African-American songstress Rene Marie was introduced to sing The Star Spangled Banner.

Instead and without warning, Ms. Marie sang the so-called black national anthem, “Lift Ev’ry Voice And Sing” to a stunned audience.

Afterward, Marie defended her action by saying she wanted to express what it felt like to be a black woman in America.

Denver Gets New National Anthem

Will go well with Obama’s new Presidential Seal!

It is all about change!



For any voter trying to choose between the two candidates for commander in chief, there is no better test than this: When American strategy in a critical theater was up for grabs, John McCain proposed a highly unpopular and risky path, which he accurately predicted could lead to success. Barack Obama proposed a popular and politically safe route that would have led to an unnecessary and debilitating American defeat at the hands of al Qaeda.

Wrong venue to do it at.

She was asked to sing one specific song, instead she chose to sing a completely diferent song than what she was asked.

I have no problem if she wants to sing the songs she wants to sing, if she is commissioned ot sing those songs, but she was invited to sing one specific song, not whatever she felt like singing.

Her excuses do not fly.

She was wrong.

I agree. Maybe she’s looking for a gig as soloist for the Michael Pfleger, Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan. US of KKKA crowd?

Reached for comment, Obama said,

“This is NOT the National Anthem I knew!”

I want to express how I feel about living in the United States, as a black woman, as a black person.

The expression was rude and ignorant.

She was wrong. Period.

Rene Marie is disgusting, and an insult to America. Stop Obama and his cronies from spitting on American heros and traditions. If this traitor gets elected, America will be ruined!!!

Lee,
I agree that Rene Marie’s actions were an insult to all Americans. She should have been bitch slapped right off the podium. That lame-ass excuse is incredible. I don’t know how you can equate her actions to Barack Obama. Obama is a patriotic American who wants this country to be all it can be. If you can’t see that, you must be selectively blind to only those virtues that suit you.

What kind of meaningless claptrap is that? I’ll tell you, IMO, it is blind, unthinking, wholly emotional worship of the new Black Messiah, void of any rational, factual basis for these wild-eyed, words of adoration. There are always, every decade or so in America, these neo-Christ’s, these pompous, megalomaniacal, self-appointed saviors of America and the world; and they all find an incredible number of willfully ignorant people to worship them; and be they saint or devil, they promise everyone a Shangri-La and only deliver the samed old socialist utopia nonsense in new bright colored wrappings with big bows, while inside they are all, including Obama morally and spititually corrupt.

I don’t want to be rude, but this quote above is utterly stupid, dangerous nonsense!


No matter the age or state of health, for a military man it is always glorious to tilt at windmills, rescue a fair Dulcinea and be a gallant knight in armor in a glorious cause.
