GottaGoToMo Posts: 33,274	This Country runs by the majority ... the majority of the people who vote for a particular candidate, get to decide who is elected ... when people who are atheists and/or agnostics are the majority, I presume the word God will be stricken from our lives ... maybe you can pray to live long enough to see that day ... I will continue to pray on my knees that no one ever sees that day in this Country!

Playing the National Anthem is lame too. Its just a ball game. Where did that idea come from to play the National Anthem at ball games? Its bad luck to go to the bathroom or get a snack during the game.

Exclusive? It's not exclusive... The lyrics say "God Bless America"- Not "God Bless rich Americans" and not "God bless Americans but not Frenchmen." ...And, to an entire generation of Americans, Kate Smith's "God Bless America" is very inspiring. People need to stop drinking the anti-American Kool-aid. America is great for what it stands for... Not for what it stands against.
