Burn in Hell!: To Kids As they Sing 'God Bless the USA' (video)
- Thread starter Damocles
- Start date
The backstory:
( Billy Hallowell) We already told you about the New York City public school principal who banned “God Bless the USA” from a kindergarten graduation program. Now, the same schoolchildren who were forbidden from singing the song at P.S. 90 in Brooklyn were heckled by adults when they performed the song at a protest event held in a nearby park.
Parents, outraged by Principal Greta Hawkins’ decision to ban the song, organized the protest and invited Rep. Bob Turner (R-NY) to attend (he’s running against Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand). But the event, which was assembled to allow the children and families to make their opposition to Hawkins’ stance known, went terribly wrong when some adults chose to shout over the children in protest.
Video of the incident shows boys and girls waving flags and singing Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA.” As they performed, though, some angry adults began swarming and shouting. Turner confirmed that these events unfolded in an interview with Fox News Radio, calling the actions “really bad form.”

Yeah, there are crazy people where every you go.
Apparently there was a great photo op for his opponent too. Gillibrand supporters seem to be vocal. I think they should tell more kids to "Burn in Hell" so more Democrats can excuse it. I think that is a winning recipe and all Democrats should find some kids to shout "Burn in Hell" to... It makes everybody all warm and fuzzy inside.

I don't approve of what those people did, ruining the occasion for those poor kids.
I also hate that sappy, jingoistic song. As if no other countries in the world are "free" and just as proud of their flags and their heritage.

I hate Lee greenwood and hope he gets eaten by a shark.
That said, what would possess you to curse at children like that?

Craziness? PCP?
They can write songs, and often do, about their flag and country. This one was about the one that Lee Greenwood is thankful he was born in...
I personally prefer, Born In the USA! Rock on.

Born in the USA is not a patriotic song, which is why liberals like it.

Other countries are free now. Not many were in 1776, with just a few exceptions like the Dutch...

This song was written in the 1980s, not the 1780s.

Which Democrats excused it? Certainly none on this thread.

Lyrics aside, it just has better music and beat than that twangy little ditty.
What?
Nothing to see, eh?
Come on Christie, you aren't usually this inept.
I think Springsteen is a patriot.
