2 National Anthems

Petition to change the national anthem to the Benny Hill Theme.

This would actually make perfect sense given the clowns we (as in all of us) continue to elect.

Maybe it’s time Herdman to install a Pullman Anthem, I’m on board with this:

"Many"? That's an interesting term. Please elaborate.

Now even if you want to say we’re better than everybody else, you still recognize that there’s a long list of things we did that were bad, right?

List them. Let's hear it.

Ok.

Slavery, the My Lai massacre, Jim Crow laws in the south, farm workers being left out to dry by the New Deal, accepting excessive civilian casualties from drone strikes, screwing with Iran till they ended up going full theocracy, our support with eugenics in the 30s and on including sterilizing “undesirables,” the Tuskegee experiments, the Tulsa Race Massacre.

Which of those do you support?

edit: You don’t have to hate America to think those things are bad. You don’t even have to think any other country hasn’t done worse. It’s just accepting reality for what it is. If we turn a blind eye to the mistakes of the past then we repeat them.

Here comes your narrow and biased world view again...

Slavery

Including indentured servitude???

Jim Crow laws in the south

Why did you just mention the South???

The Jim Crow North

You know about the long fight against segregation in the South. But civil rights struggles in the rest of the nation have often been overlooked.

screwing with Iran till they ended up going full theocracy

Yeah, we are to blame for the centuries old conflicts of the Middle East...

our support with eugenics in the 30s and on including sterilizing “undesirables,”

Why didn't you mention the "current day form of eugenics" (abortion) that those on the Left, likely including yourself, champion? Look up the statistics...

If we turn a blind eye to the mistakes of the past then we repeat them.

And yet the very essence of this thread is the Left's continued efforts to "whitewash" history of anything they deem offensive to someone. That, short memories and ignorance are just tinder for history to repeat itself...
