I was so excited to see another Allan Ishac satirical bomb

with no other responses I rushed to be first to post a reply.

Then I realized I had nothing to say. As I am a USA born atheist citizen of 74 years of age who cannot sing (and if I tried, my croaking could be used to torture terrorists at Guantanamo)

I immediately burst into song.

Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe’s haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o’er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
’Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps’ pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war’s desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav’n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: “In God is our trust.”
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

I hate Jingoism. I never served in a war. Yet I consider myself a patriot.

More so than a man who went to a military prep school and cursed it.

I quote from Wikipedia about what happened after Donald Trump went to a military academy

New York Military Academy (NYMA) is a college prep, co-ed boarding school in the rural town of Cornwall, 60 miles (97 km) north of New York City, and one of the oldest military schools in the United States. Originally a boys’ school, it started admitting girls in 1975. The school was attended by the President of the United States, Donald Trump, who graduated in 1964. On March 3, 2015, NYMA filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, facing serious financial difficulties from low enrollment.

Instead of opening for the fall semester in September 2015, NYMA closed and was sold at auction to a group of Chinese investors who reopened the school in November 2015.

What more can I say. Unless the USA legally and peacefully removes Donald Trump from office.

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL BE SOLD AT AUCTION TO A GROUP OF CHINESE INVESTORS.
