What does the Yellow Rose of Texas or the Eyes of Texas have to do with our discussion? The Eyes of Texas alternate American anthem if you prefer the Star Spangled Banner, I love that one too or if you are Southron, I can whistle Dixie as well as a Republican mind you, The Battle Hymn of the Republic takes pride of place for me in the beauty of the lillies, Christ was born across the sea Edited October 19, 2022 by Dougie93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so I think is it is exponentially more popular than you apparently surmise it was in fact only Christians who said it was wrong otherwise, the entire Western world was a fascist slave empire by popular acclaim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi_Master_Tallyn Posted October 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 Errr.... Eyes of Texas is a great folk song about Texas but not really something National. For and alternate Anthem I would go with God Bless the U.S.A or America the Beautiful, But I have issues with calling the United States; America, Which are this: America is a continent, It includes SEVERAL countries two of which are very close or even bigger in land area than the United States. Even though I consider myself a United States patriot, and I love this country calling it just America seems a little arrogant to me. Are Canadians not also American's? No why then do you find it ok to call everyone from southeast Asia, Asian? Believe me they find that WAY more insulting than you can imagine. They hate each other over there. ALOT. and to be grouped together like that? Stereotyping much? (the "you" in this statement is general to everyone not YOU specifically") as for the Christian only said fascism is evil, maybe they said it first, but pretty sure most everyone except an actual fascist is saying it now.

Jedi_Master_Tallyn Posted October 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 I was not aware the "border" did not develop until 1812 I was under the impression it was already there and established as least as far as the Great Lakes.

Jedi_Master_Tallyn Posted October 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 ok whoa that is apples and oranges my friends. In the 1812 instance we invaded the "allies" of a country we were at war with. And the Government went full send, and lost. Vietnam, was a money by elements of our military and certain members of Congress grab where our troops were underfunded undersupplied, and we had no business being in the first place especially considering South Vietnam was just as bad as the North. The above is a direct quote from my dad a Vietnam veteran. So please all veterans out there do not think I am unthankful for your service, I just think that particular "Police Action" was a terrible mistake and waist, I also believe our veterans coming home were treated VERY poorly and that is shameful as well.

Jedi_Master_Tallyn Posted October 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 What I mean is I am not informed enough about this subject to debate it, and most likely wont become such, and those were the reason.

ironstone Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 I personally would not call anyone a fascist simply for disagreeing with me. Diversity of opinion is a good thing, but it is under attack these days and that attack is primarily from the political left. I can sense the anger from the excessive use of capitals by some to make a point. Insults and accusations are sure to follow. I suppose some on here think I'm a fascist because of my opinions on certain subjects. It was very well put in the first post of this topic that many of us have formed opinions based on our personal experiences. The school of hard knocks vs classroom lectures. I think that most of those elites giving those long lectures have zero experience with the school of hard knocks.

But when it happened it upset like you its Doug said "it bothered you because you are not one", but still it got to you right? Why do you think they did that, was it just to upset you and scare you off responding or to throw you off your game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
