A silly person that seemingly has a Bone to Pick, sings an inappropriate song that insults our feelings about our traditions, and then too many other silly Bone Pickers crawl out from under... and sets up a noise that rivals a pack of Hyenas.

Have we reached the part where "judgement has fled to brutish beasts and we have lost our reason?"

Nay, we are just being alloyed by the Melting Pot into an even greater and stronger nation, so we must learn to bury the bones and tolerate the heat of the process that will not tolerate that which seperates. 

Rene Marie doesn't sing for me; I am a Black AMERICAN! Of the kind that fought in the era when Francis Scott Key penned the words to his great song that immortalized the hopes and dreams of a growing nation of growing citizens.  

When we throw down the gauntlet, let us do so to defend the One Nation... 

 

The black community in the U.S. is unfortunately a disaster. Handed more at the expense of everyone else in America (including other minorities), the black community as a whole fails miserably. The response is always the same. "We've been denied/discriminated against". It's always someone elses fault. Well, here are the facts. The black community is the only "people" in our nation that have had a nation purchased for them (by white Americans). This nation is actually on the continent that they so eagerly call themselves first, before American! That's right, it's in Africa. Most in the black community wouldn't even know this. It's called Liberia!! One additional, but interesting note. The name Shaniqua isn't African. The former President of Liberia, a criminal himself,  was named "Charles Chuck Taylor"!!! Imagine that. No, he didn't own the Converse shoe company. Liberia, it's also a disaster. Let's talk about pain, suffering and slavery in the black community. Prior to the late 50's and 60's most in all communities in our nation were in one way or another self sufficient. What I mean is, "no free rides". Today, that is still the case, as long as you are from any race but black. Neither my children nor I have ever been given and I mean GIVEN an education at Princeton.  Nevertheless, some blacks have never been proud of their country. Slavery was in the 19th century for blacks in this country and no one today is either responsible for it or deserves any claims/reparations because of it. Take the honorable Jewish people for example.  They not only were enslaved in the middle part of the 20th century, but also brutalized and murdered. They were treated with contempt and scorn by many in this country, not just in fascist countries. Infact, the black communities own Jesse Jackson in the 80's referred to NY City as Himey town (not sure if that's the proper spelling). Do you here them whining, demanding or in any way acting as though they must have what you have, because they don't. Do they ask for extra points on numerous entrance and employment exams. No. They simply take responsibility for who and what they are and they things happen as a proad and honorable people. No, I am not Jewish. I am a white Anglo-Saxxon Roman Catholic convert. Actually, I simply returned to the faith that all of my ancestors once were. Interestingly enough, the Jews were also given a territory to call their own. It is today the envy of many nations, economically, socially (within it's borders) and indeed militarily. Why, because they look to God and believe they can do. Coincidentally, that kind of faith and belief is what built this nation. Stop whining and blaming everyone else. Take responsibility for yourself and do for yourself (legally), or move to the African country that was handed to you in the early 1800's and enjoy really being African. God Bless All. Straightalker.

Question? I am wondering why we have heard Nobama talk about his Racist White Grandmother and his Racist White Mother who supported him and feed him and clothed him ,as well as sent him to Private Schools, like the one he attended in Honolulu HI called Punaho Academy you should see this place"TOP NOTCH"

What i would like to hear from this FOOL is how bout that NO FATHER MUSLIM of his.  Lets hear what hes done for this Country. What do you say NObama and Miss Michiel... I have never heard this guy speak about daddy. I am sure its going to either My Fault or Bush's fault.  You see I grew up in Detroit and the Black Cumminty is destroying that City as we speak, they want the White Mans money but dont want the intelligence and compassion and integrity that comes with it. Whos the real Rascist NOBAMA!!!!

NObama wont cover his heart or say the pledge of allegence, wont wear an American flag pin, has never denounced the the attacks by the Terroists as the Muslim Cowards that they are .  WHo is this FOOL trying to lead. MMMMM Makes me wonder!!!!

I was a child in the 50's and saw the discrimination of the blacks.  My generation of whites saw it was a terrible injustice.  Blacks did not march alone.  Now I see more and more acts of reverse racism aimed toward whites.  Blacks were totally justified in standing up for their equal rights, but they are not entitled to MORE rights.  I am seriously concerned our country will soon be involved in a full scale race war.

 

we have an agreed upon set of rules in our society,

you are are given the honor to sing our Star Spangled Banner, you sing what you are asked to sing,  

that have been in place for a long time

we, as a country, modified our behavior to "accept" people and give them "a leg up"

now, we are getting that leg sqaure in the face from all sides

i am for going back to all people are created equal and we all play by EXACTLY the same set of rules, NO EXCEPTIONS!!!

“If you breathe the air over Los Angeles or any large city, you’re smoking more than a pack of cigarettes every 24 hours whether you like it or not.”

LA resident

Recent estimates show more than 100 million Americans breathe polluted air in major cities across America. Air pollution increases lung cancer, asthma susceptibility and injects tiny particles coated with chemicals into human beings' bodies. Pregnant women breathe poisonous air into their fetus' delicate and developing tissue. Many other health consequences cascade from air pollution.

Every day in America (on average):

• 40,000 people miss school or work due to asthma.
• 30,000 people have an asthma attack.
• 5,000 people visit the emergency room due to asthma.
• 1,000 people are admitted to the hospital due to asthma.
• 11 people die from asthma.

* An estimated 20 million Americans suffer from asthma (1 in 15 Americans), and 50 percent of asthma cases are "allergic-asthma." The prevalence of asthma has been increasing since the early 1980s across all age, sex and racial groups.

* Asthma is the most common chronic condition among children.

* Annual cost of asthma is estimated to be $18 billion.

* 400,000 Americans die of lung cancer annually.

Data source: Center for Disease Control, Atlanta, GA.

If you live in Los Angeles, Denver, Chicago, Houston and other large cities, you can 'see' the air you breathe. It's brown, yellow or tan in color. It shifts in layers over the skyline. Tall smoke-stacks belch unending streams of poisons from power plants -- diesel trucks spew polluting toxic smoke ribbons along the expressways -- cars by the millions emit tons of particulates into the air. Millions of homes burn wood, oil and natural gas that exhausts into air over our cities. Sewer systems spew toxic air into our once clean environment. Massive bovine herds emit methane gas by the millions of metric tons.

In our city of Denver, Colorado, the "red-warning" flag flies scores of days during the October through April period, typically. No one can burn wood in their fireplaces on red flag days!

During the many summer "temperature-inversion days" in Denver, as you drive toward the city on I-70 out of the mountains, you can see the "brown soup" that you are about to breathe. When I come back home from a weekend in the pristine air of the Rockies, I'm sickened that I'm back to breathing that toxic air with every breath I take.

Can it get worse?

You bet! Denver expects to add two to three million more people in three decades as the rest of the country adds 100 million people by 2040. Some experts tell us those numbers are much higher. The 2008 PEW Report reported 138 million people added by 2050. That means we could reach an added 100 million by 2035 or sooner. It means greater air pollution for every city.

In the summer of 2007 in Denver, Colorado, air quality monitors registered 74 micrograms per cubic meter of particulate — the highest ever recorded for dirty air over the metro area.

As Denver's Rocky Mountain News journalist Todd Hartman reported, "Dirty air over the metro area could linger into today, prolonging a stretch of toxic pollution that has prompted warnings even for healthy people. Air monitors have recorded unprecedented levels of particulates -- this is gritty air."

Colorado regulator Mike Silverstein, at the state health department said, "We are praying for winds." Winds from the west tend to sweep the pollution toward the east.

What happens when those winds blow air pollution out of our cities? It falls as acid rain on the land, in our lakes and into our rivers. It poisons the earth and water. It creates havoc with nitrogen-fixing-bacteria in our top-soil. It kills entire fish populations in lakes and rivers. It kills trees and native vegetation by changing their soil PH balance. It's insidious, deadly and growing worse. And worst of all, it often finds a route to other nations.

What are we doing about air pollution?

As a result of expensive clean-up actions by industry, emissions have been reduced – but the awkward and unplanned growth overwhelms clean-up efforts. Lacking an overall strategic growth-plan, pollution pockets arise overnight.

In the next three decades, if we add 100 million people, that will add up to 50 to 60 million more cars, trucks, planes and trains to the mix. We will add at least 30 million homes, thousands of schools, malls, firehouses, sewage treatment plants, commercial businesses, power plants and more air pollution generating facilities. That human growth adds millions of miles of roads, cuts down millions of trees, and paves-over millions of acres of beautiful open-space lands – some of which give us the vegetables we need every day.

Our breathing-oxygen comes from the green plants we destroy both on the land and phytoplankons in the oceans.

How many other physical health consequences do we suffer as human beings live in air polluted cities? How about eye irritation? How about toxic heavy metals and nasty chemicals transported to our brain tissue – carried by the oxygen to the otherwise life-giving cells of our lungs. How about birth defects caused to children? How about long-term effects on plant and animal life downstream from air polluted cities?

Willy-Nilly Population Growth Continues – Unchecked.

How long until our eyes open to the surety that we create tomorrow's unfathomable consequences for future generations by our irrational population growth? Even if we mandated zero population growth in the United States today -- by shutting down all immigration, our own population momentum adds 35 million people to this country in the three-generations born here by 2040. In other words, we're placing future generations into a no-win situation.

Our civilization stands frozen on the tracks – ironically bewildered -- in the headlights of a runaway population freight train of our own making.

Give me a break!  A majority of the black people I know refer to themselves as Americans that happen to be black.  They are not African Americans - in fact, I'd guesstimate that 80 - 90% of the blacks in this country that refer to themselves as African Americans have never been to Africa nor have any direct decendents from Africa.  Maybe that percentage number is a little high, but I bet it's not out of the ball park!  

So, would that mean I can be referred to as an Irish/Cherokee/French-American?  I've never been to Ireland or France - I have however attended a Cherokee sweat/drum circle in Oklahoma.  With that ammo, I'm going to start the  NAAICFA and I'm going to sit at my piano right now and compose the Irish/Cherokee/French National Anthem and see if I can get invited to sing it at Turner Field for a Braves game this weekend.  However, I'll do so with the belief that I'm going to sing the Star Spangled Banner and slip it in instead. 

As for the words of the so-called black national anthem, I'm curious as to the meaning of the very last line: "...May we forever stand, true to our God, true to OUR NATIVE LAND."  OK, so, just WHERE is their NATIVE LAND?   If they are African Americans would it be AFRICA they are referring to?  There is no Black Nation in America - ONE NATION UNDER GOD -  NOT ONE BLACK NATION, etc.   God forbid it should be ONE WHITE NATION or the WHITE NATIONAL ANTHEM.... the air would smell of tar and feathers....

Anyway - God Bless America!

I will not even mention the ladys name.  I think it is disgraceful to our country for someone to think that they have the right to change the words to a song that many have died to preserve.  I am so tired of the black community thinking that they deserve special treatment and that they deserve special rights.  We all have the same opportunities in this great nation.  In fact, the minority community probably has more rights than anyone.  The Democratic Party, which was once based on conservative christian values, is now nothing more than a party and a group of people that wants something for nothing.  I truly believe that alot of the black population are happy being so called underprivileged.  They are confortable in this role.  I do not think they would be confortable working their tales off for progress.  It seems to me that they want many things handed to them.  They think they deserves something for what there great great grandparents had to go thru.  The last I checked none of us deserve anything that we do not work for.  This country was based on hard work to get ahead.  It was not based on everyone being able to go to college or everyone having the highest paying job.  Going to college is a privilege for those that can make the grade.  Living in this country is a privilege.  If you want to get ahead work hard and you will have many opportunities.  Yes,  someone will make more money and may have a better job than you.  Get over it!  Life is not fair! This is what makes this country great.  If everyone was given prosperity we would be in big trouble.  If blacks would get off the sofa, the street corner, and get to work maybe Jesse Jackson and others would not have a job.  No, I did not come from an affluent family.  My mom and dad were divorced win I was 7.  I paid my own way thru college.  Nobody else paid my way. I lived in a trailor most of my early life.  It would of been easy for me to say give me, give me, give me.  I chose to work hard and not feel sorry for myself. 

In these times when racial equality is being touted from the highest pulpit, or lowest depending on you view point , to have a marginally known singer, such as Rene Marie, to pull such a devisive act as she did in Denver should bring hue and cry from the canidates and the mainline media.  To sully such an ocassion with out some form of reproach or penalty will not bring differing peoples togather, and will cause more harm than the value of the publicity she will garner from this event. 

This is just another wardrobe malfunction, with the same malice of forethought, as Janet Jackson's action.

This singer broke a contract and proved herself a liar and a cheat.  Martha Stewart was prosecuted for lying, why shouldn't Rene Marie?

There is no substitute for the National Anthem! There is NO Black national anthem - at least none deemed applicable to the United States. There is only one national anthem - the "Star Spangled Banner". Maybe Marie didn't know the words. A lot of folks don't.

It's totally wrong for the media to call it the Black national anthem. There is no such thing! There's no white national anthem either, nor is there a yellow or brown national anthem. There's only one - the United States National Anthem.

There is no substitute for the National Anthem!

 

It bothers me to know our next President elect is a non christain, and would allow this song  to be continued, without the original verse sung.

Democrats will lose if this kind of behavior continues.

You must stop this kind of behavior, freedom is a matter of the heart.  God died on the cross of all of us.  John 3:16

  

 

 

What is wrong with people???  This is the best country in the world  and you got to live here.  People in the past actually had to work very hard to live here.  It's made way to easy to live here now, but that's a different story.  But when you get the previlage to sing that amazing song, how dare you change it for your own beliefs.  If you don't believe or respect this country you need to get out in the world and I garentee you'll be begging to come back in no time.  Get a clue people.  You couldn't make it anywhere else, so you need to start showing respect and love for the amazing country you live in!!!!

I can only say that this is all America needs! Another black AMERICAN trying to divide a nation that cries out for harmony among the "blacks and whites".  The singer has already said the she apologizes for the disruptive song but in all honesty she is not sorry at all. She knew it was wrong or she would not have hidden the fact that she was going to sing it from all but a few! It sounds to me that god has given her a beautiful voice to sing with and she chooses to use it for her own selfish gain! WHAT A PUBLICITY STUNT!!!  There is nothing wrong with having a "black anthem" but god forbid any 'white" American trying to sing a "white anthem". We would be called racist and brought to the attention of the NAACP. The National Anthem is just that..............................NATIONAL! That means that every man, woman, and child of every ethnical background is included in the song. Was the National Anthem not good enough because a white man wrote it? What about the song Amazing Grace? A black man wrote that song and you dont see white people going around trying to change it because of the color of his skin. My last comment on this situation is this.................................Maria does not have love for America in her heart. She has love for racism and hate. Maria does not wish to unite but to divide. Next time Maria, keep it in your shower!

As America slides further down the immigration ladder into gathering discontent of millions who feel slighted, entitled or angry--we face ultimate breakdown as to what it means and feels to be an 'American'.

On July 1, 2008, in Denver, Colorado, Mayor John Hickenlooper stood for the singing of the “Star Spangled Banner” at his State of the City address.

A local singer, Rene Marie, contracted to sing the national anthem, instead, shocked the audience with the “Black National Anthem.”

Everyone in the audience gasped or swallowed hard! Rene Marie sat down with a sense of arrogant satisfaction as if she just put one over on her audience. She did!

Ms. Marie smugly disrespected America!

Denver Councilman Charlie Brown took to local talk radio later to blast the lack of the nation's anthem at the proceedings. "There's no replacement for the national anthem. They should have sung it. She sung the black national anthem to advance her career, but maybe her career is not worth advancing."

A quick 1,000 miles away in Chicago, Barack Obama’s minister, Pastor Jeremiah Wright spoke eloquently to condemn America with “Not God Bless America, but God D*** America for her sins against blacks and other minorities of the world.”

Gross disrespect for America!

Of all the countries on this planet, no other nation offers more opportunities to become educated, expand, succeed and thrive for all its citizens of every color. Every child enjoys free education to the 12th grade and, for those who excel, scholarships offer minorities infinite possibilities.

Mexican illegals, across the nation in the past two years, dragged our nation’s flag, “Old Glory”, through the mud and across the concrete in their marches for their ‘rights’ to break our laws.

Ugly disrespect for America!

Last Tuesday night, I attended a speech by Los Angeles radio talk show host Terry Anderson, www.theterryandersonshow.com , in Thornton, Colorado. He explained how illegal aliens overwhelm LA with gangs and how they kill blacks as a matter of standard operating procedure.

Illegals’ killing Americans depicts lack of respect for America!

“Do you notice how our politicians go after the Hispanic vote, the African-American vote, but never talk about the American vote,” Anderson said. “We are losing what it means to be an American.”

This week, I walked into my Wells-Fargo bank in Denver to see directions in Spanish everywhere I looked.

Disrespect for English, our national language, by our own banks!

In order to become a citizen in this country, you must learn how to speak our language, but our own institutions, in pursuit of money, pander to those who reside here while violating our laws. Wells-Fargo supports breaking of our legal directives.

Disrespect for America’s laws!

In his new book, THE NEW CASE AGAINST IMMIGRATION: BOTH LEGAL AND ILLEGAL, Mark Krikorian said, “America is losing its national identity through mass immigration creating ‘transnationals’ that never fully assimilate into our American society.

“The combination of these two modern traits—transnationalism and multiculturalism—means that mass immigration today is much less likely to result in the kind of deep assimilation of the vast majority of immigrants and their children that is necessary for immigration to be successful.”

Loss of respect for what it means to be an American!

In other words, the dangerous Balkanizing process, or creating separate and disparate ethnic communities away and against the mainstream of America—accelerates the disintegration of America as a viable and cohesive civilization.

By following through with this process over time, we find examples in separate societies in modern-day London, England; Paris, France; Amsterdam, Holland and many cities in Spain, Germany and Italy. Not only do those countries grow separated, they grow contentious against each other.

If you look at present day Miami, two separate cultures exist. Racism explodes! Chicago illustrates this growing dilemma: two million illegal aliens. American blacks and the rest of Americans make up the rest of the folks in the Windy City. Los Angeles provides a violent example of disrespect for America as thousands of cars sport bumper stickers: “F*** you! This is Mexico”.

Another aspect of ‘transnationalism’ finds new legal and illegal immigrants able to step into American society enjoying all its benefits, but maintain duel citizenship and connection via the Internet and inexpensive phone connections—to their old countries. Thus, the adoption of the ‘consciousness of an American’ falls into the gutter while a confused sense of entitlement for one’s former country engenders further separation. That phenomenon results in the new hyphenated-American as well as a growing separation of ourselves against ourselves.

Total disrespect for America!

As a nation, we cannot survive these uninvolved, un-assimilated, un-invested pseudo-Americans.

As syndicated columnist Michelle Malkin said, “When it comes to our immigration mess, no one has a deeper understanding of the facts than Mark Krikorian. Pay attention: America’s future is at stake.”

U.S. Congressman Tom Tancredo said, “The survival of Western culture stands at a crossroads.”

For average citizens that call themselves “Americans”, the very foundation of America rots underneath them while their own PC leaders engage ‘multiculturalism and diversity’ as a politically correct term for national suicide. Multiculturalism stops American leaders in their tracks. Multiculturalism counters against everything ‘American’.

The irony of this phenomenon stems from the fact that American culture allows the most people, the most security, the most opportunity, the most quality of life and the most enjoyable life experience. Do you see millions of people charging off for a better life in Zimbabwe, Sudan, China, Mexico, Bangladesh or India?

Multiculturalism disrespects the foundation of America by destroying the foundation of our language, our culture and our ethos as a civilization. In the end, we slit our collective throats with ‘multiculturalism’.

Multiculturalism: disrespect for America and being American!

“The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, or preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities.” President Teddy Roosevelt

If we might save our civilization as Mark Krikorian said, “We must stop all legal and illegal immigration.”

“A finite world can support only a finite population; therefore, population growth must eventually equal zero.”

Garrett Hardin

As our dilemma accelerates, the overpopulation picture clarifies for every American. Clint Eastwood as Dirty Harry said in that great movie, “A man’s got to know his limitations.”

The same stands for a family, a community, state and country. Everything includes limits. A glass of water can only hold as much as it can hold. Basketball limits a team to five players. A movie theater holds a limited amount of seating. A plane with a 200 passenger limit must carry exactly that number and not one extra.

Science and Agricultural Professor David Pimentel, Cornell University, January 4, 2007, said, “The U.S. population has doubled in the past six decades to over 300 million people. Currently, the U.S. population growth rate is now more than twice that of China. In 100 years, at our current growth rate, the U.S. population is projected to reach 1.2 billion -- or nearly the population of China. Is this what we want for future America?

“Like it or not, our natural resources, from land to wood to oil to water, are finite and cannot sustain an infinite population growth without seriously impacting our quality of life. The time has come for government planners and citizens alike to begin weighing the impacts of unabated population growth.”

Pimentel said, “More than 99 percent of all our food comes from the land and less than 1 percent from the oceans and other aquatic ecosystems. Each American consumes more than 2,200 lbs of food per year, and to produce this food requires more than 3.6 acres of agricultural land. Most U.S. cropland is now in production and little is available for expanding food production.”

As noted earlier, each added American destroys 12.6 acres of land to support him or her throughout life.

“Along with land, an ample supply of fresh water is essential for food and other human needs,” Pimentel said. “Water shortages already exist in many parts of the nation, especially in western and southern states – and such shortages will become more acute if population growth continues unabated. Each American uses about 530,000 gallons of water per year, with about 80 percent used just for food production. For example, an acre of corn requires 500,000 gallons of water during the growing season.”

Pimentel added, “More than 90 percent of U.S. oil reserves have already been pumped, and currently more than 63 percent of U.S. oil has to be imported from other nations at a cost of more than $120 billion/year. Yearly, each American uses energy equivalent to 2,800 gallons of oil, with 500 gallons devoted just for food production.

“Fossil energy is a non-renewable resource, which means that Americans will require renewable energy sources in the future. Depending on the geographic region, the renewable energy technologies with the greatest potential are photo-voltaics, hydropower, wind energy, biomass (thermal), solar thermal, and passive solar. Yet, even when all solar-based technologies become operational, they are expected to provide only half of the current U.S. energy consumption. These renewable energy technologies will require about 17 percent of U.S. land area for their production -- and this is equal to current cropland area in use.”

The U.S. produces 4.5 billion gallons of ethanol per year. This uses 18 percent of the U.S. corn crop but the yield represents only one percent of U.S. petroleum use. If 100 percent of U.S. corn were used, the estimated ethanol yield would provide only about six percent of U.S. petroleum needs. As mentioned earlier, ethanol as a viable alternative remains a fantasy.

“The continued expansion of the human population not only is depleting fossil fuels, it is reducing the numbers of native species of plants, animals, and microbes throughout the U.S., many of which are vital to agricultural production processes, such as pollination, and essential for a quality environment,” Pimentel said. “Converting land to development and highways destroys valuable cropland acreage. For example, in California 240,000 acres of farmland were lost last year to development.”

Pimentel added, “Highway construction also destroys many thousands of acres of natural habitat for survival of native species. Nearly four million miles of highways cover our land. The area being blacktopped each year is 1.3 million acres (an area equal to the State of Delaware). No species lives under the blacktop. Rapid, unabated population growth, including legal and illegal immigrants, also is stressing school systems. Some schools have three times the number of students that they can handle with the available teachers and support staff. Overall this lowers our effectiveness of the education system, which in turn reduces the economic viability and competitiveness of the United States in the global market.”

Though we feel immune from our accelerating population crisis, it manifests in every sector of our society. “Similarly, the rapid increase in the population is crowding medical facilities in the United States,” Pimentel said. “In the past two decades the number of outpatients in hospitals has increased more than two fold, and continues to increase. Some hospitals have been forced to close due to the pressure on their emergency and outpatient facilities.”

In California, that number exceeds 86 hospitals and ER wards in the past five years suffered closing via bankruptcy.

“The rapid population increase in the United States is challenging our food production system, the economy in general, and the environment,” Pimentel said. “As humans and their diverse activities expand, the sustainability of the natural environment is threatened and diminished for the future. We, as a nation, must come to grips with the harsh reality that our land, energy, food and water are finite. The quality of life for us, and especially for our children and future generations, is closely linked to the number of people who live in our 50 states.” Professor David Pimentel, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York
