    Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Jordan Fraade

    God Bless America is a humble supplication, not an assertion of dominion over the land. Yet its simple combination of prayer & patriotism triggers this sort of gag reflex in progressives.https://twitter.com/schadenfraade/status/1351947991133917185 …

    Dan McLaughlin added,

    Jordan Fraade @schadenfraade
    Woody Guthrie heard "God Bless America" by Irving Berlin and thought it was so fashy and creepy that he wrote "This Land Is Your Land" in response. I think it's the only patriotic US song with recognizably left-of-center politics https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1351934345011986443 …

        My problem with it is that it's not a good melody.

        A fairer critique. My personal preferences are for 1) the Battle Hymn of the Republic and 2) America the Beautiful, in that order.

        I was wondering if she'd sing the more obviously radical verses that follow, but fortunately she didn't.

        still mad, still wrong oceans rise, administrations change, but the baseball crank stays eternal, a fixed star, shouting to the cosmos that they, and not he, are mistaken, before attempting to change the subject after getting repeatedly clowned on by, like, some quasars or w/e
