Let's Require the National Anthem Before Every Public Event

[Johny Joe Hold]

One good thing about this "kneeling" business during the National Anthem before pro football games is we have learned who is a real American and who is not. We have learned who we need to keep here in this country and who we can live without. Those who make this display are disrespectful to God, Jesus, our flag, our veterans, our President and all elected officials including myself. Now we know who they are.

That is a good reason for all of us here at Landover Baptist to demand the Anthem be played before every event open to the public. There are dozens of events right here around Freehold where it should be played but is not. For example, at the Iowa State Fair there are steer and pig judging contests and baking contests. There is a barbecue cook off downtown every summer. If the Anthem was required for each of these events we could photograph all those who take a knee and remember who they are when we might need to know.

For example, the photograph of the kneeling jerk could be in computer files attached to the person's name. When police or highway patrol officers pull over someone that picture would come up when the car license number was entered by the officer. Instead of just a warning, the officer would meter out the maximum fine. The picture would be useful for purposes like that.

Why stop there? They should just play the national anthem all the time.

Especially in elevators. People standing there anyway.

It should certainly be played in women’s toilets.

Not ALL the time, brother Nobar.


What happens when we get together to praise the Lord, and we go down to our knees?


If the anthem is playing, we cannot kneel.


So I guess the anthem should be played every time except when Jesus is involved.

Brother Gonzalez, I am scared for you. This is dangerous talk - please consider deleting your post and going into hiding. And for God's sake change your name to Gordon or something less Mexican. Didn't you have to take the ex-Negro training course?

Do not worry, Dr. God is with me. And of course, the fact that I won't commit the crime of going to the US helps me a lot.
You know, the US is for white people.

And I am not a rapist. Only messican rapist go to the US, you have heard Donald, and he is always right.

I think if the National Anthem were played before cock fights it would help the image of this wonderful sport.

It's really pretty simple isn't it - kneel for Jesus, stand for the Anthem, something that should have been learned by grade 3. But of course the Democrats have controlled the education system for decades and have turned out nothing but a bunch of pajama boys.

Sure, the constitution guarantees freedom of speech, peaceful assembly and association, along with petition and peaceful protest - but we can require that they register and apply for a permit, then we know who they are and can keep an eye on them.

While I don't want to digress here, but while we're on the subject of the National Anthem and things offensive to True Christians™ everywhere, we need to discuss crimes and misdemeanors and their punishment.

While there are plenty of examples of those wishing to derail Trump's MAGA initiatives, Lady Gaga is particularly noteworthy of deserving an extended jail sentence for butchering the National Anthem.

Perhaps those Navy Blue Angels might want to consider carrying live ammunition in their flyovers.

Personally, I find our national anthem bombastic and cheesy. When I was growing up in school, I always sat during the anthem, only standing when the Sisters threatened to expel me. They also struck my wrist with their hard-sticks; I really hate our anthem, honestly. Just everything about it, the tone, the lyrics, and how assholes force you stand for it. piffle that.

Let's take it one step further. Not standing up for the National Anthem, or even singing it wrong, should be a felony.

Great idea, Brother Bjorn. The big question in our country is how are we going to maintain our freedoms? Your suggestion will go a long way toward this goal. Making it a felony not to stand during the National Anthem will demonstrate we want freedom and we will use our laws to get it.

Not just the National Anthem and not just standing. Every kind of patriotic song MUST be accompanied by a standing salute if you are a citizen or by kneeling face in the dirt if you are a foreigner. And played 5 times a day over loudspeakers in every town. This is the minimum level of respect our Nation deserves. Save your snowflake whining for countries that LOST a war. These colors don't run.

That's horrible, Dr. Toole! That would be tantamount to gateway to a Nazi police state. Is that the sort of control you'd want to live under? I'd be packing my bags for Canada before that happened.

Go ahead, move to the land of beer, hockey and Justin Bieber - and you won't be a "citizen" anymore, you will be a "subject" bowing with fealty to some aging "queen".

You'll still have to stand and sing their "national anthem" as well.

And where are all those hellywood "celebrities" that vowed to move to Canada if Trump was elected? Still in the US.
