L.A. Times: ‘Time to Cancel’ America’s National Anthem, the Star-Spangled Banner

 

America’s National Anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner,” appears to be the latest target of the left-wing mob, after a Los Angeles Times article declared “it’s time to cancel” the song.

 

What was meant to be a song of unity and patriotism has become an increasingly popular target of the American left. Adopted in 1931, efforts to replace the song also represent progressive activists’ desires to erase American history and heritage.

 

But calls to scrap the song aren’t limited to the Marxist wing of the far-left – establishment media outlets have joined the call.

 

Jody Rosen, a contributing writer at the New York Times magazine, took to the Los Angeles Times to pen a 3,000-word op-ed, “It’s time to cancel ‘The Star-Spangled Banner.’ Here’s what should replace it.”

Rosen suggests the song is “militaristic” and cautions “how veneration of country can curdle into nationalism, and how nationalism can tilt toward fascism” while suggesting Bill Withers’s 1972 ballad “Lean On Me” ought to replace it.

Rosen’s rationale for picking the song?

 

Because it’s “not, explicitly at least, a song about America.”

This video is disturbing. It happened at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood airport Tuesday night. 3 women attacked Spirit employees after their flight back to Philly was delayed. They were arrested.
