America the Beautiful is about how pretty the mountains look. BFD
Star Spangled Banner is about ****ing persevering no matter what the hell comes at you.
I'm not that patriotic of a guy - frankly I think patriotism is more than a little reeruned. I mean, the only reason anyone thinks America is the "greatest nation on earth" (which is a ridiculous concept - as if such a thing can be qualified) is because you were born here. but dammit the Star Spangled Banner kicks ass.B
America the Beautiful? Seriously?
I mean, if you're gonna change it, My Country, 'Tis of Thee is way more in the American spirit.
