america's Star spangled Banner like you have not heard before

[727Sky]

Jesus Christ!

I never knew that backstory. I was literally today years old before I heard it. I always thought Key was in Fort Henry watching, instead of on a British ship watching.

That really is how the British treated POWs, that I already knew. Some of my ancestors were Hessians captured at Trenton, Hessians freed from their bondage to Hessian princes who hired them out, and who elected to stay here after their terms were up, so I know from research that the Americans treated their POWs differently.

That is the stock we came from, and modern Americans shame them. Modern Americans would first have to ask what the flag's gender was, and/or what personal pronouns it used before they'd go to support it with their own one and only bodies. They'd refuse because the flag represents slavery to them, or because it's Capitalist.

Modern Americans are by and large a shameful race, and bring shame on the men who made the nation to begin with. It may be that our time really is done, and that we need to collapse, because the testicular fortitude is no longer there to support it. There are damned few left that would rather die on their feet than live on their knees.

There are a few, but one has to wonder if there are enough.

I reckon only time will tell, and that  telling time is upon us,

We'll see,

My friend there are still hard men who would only die on their feet and not their knees, I guarantee it so do not lose faith... In many parts of the world the monkey dance is starting... no one knows how far the dance will progress but it is a start at organizing which is better than sitting around complaining IMO... I think I will post a shot story I wrote a few years ago about the 4th of July
