Take the knee... NON-political please????

[SpokaneCY]

You're on the field, the flag is unfurled and the first notes of that beautiful song start wafting across the stadium.

Other than the cave stuff, what would you take a knee for and why?

I'm sticking with the holocaust of chocolate and peanut butter co-habitating. It's Adam and EVE, not chocolate and PEANUT BUTTER for cripes sake! Cheese and rice it butters my muffin to no end.

I'm offended by your diatribe against chocolate and peanut butter. It is perfectly natural.

Other than that, though...I'm more confused about what you're going for, than anything.

Take the patriotism out of it, and I'd rather just sing O Canada because it's such a better song.

La Marseillaise, aussi

I like how My Country Tis of Thee has that beat. Kinda like Vanilla Icing "Under Pressure."

 

[CyCrazy]

I will take a knee until In n Out comes to Ames.

We should change our national anthem to my country 'tis of thee. Better tune, better lyrics, easier to sing, more efficient (each verse is only about half as long as the star spangled banner so you can either keep it short and sweet or get two verses in the same amount it takes to sing one verse of the star spangled banner). Get it done, congress

not to take anything away from the words, but the tune the song was set to was a British drinking song...

Yet here you are, also. Sounds like its a you problem.

Unlike the words to our official anthem, the lyrics to America the Beautiful are a poem....a gorgeous paean to our country, its natural beauty, its great heritage, and its people, whose courage and creativity have made it the greatest country in the world. Key wrote a song about a battle and the fact that the flag survived - but I find the words to America the Beautiful much more stirring. I agree with Woo.....let's start a movement and get this done!!!!

How about Bohemian Rhapsody? Come Together? 46 and 2?

What if someone took a knee during the anthem, because their fight was for a better song as the anthem?

I took a long weekend and am currently taking a knee to going back to work tomorrow.

I also planned on going for a run, and CF has been my kneeling for that.

This must be what message boards would have looked at during very politically stormy times like the 1960s, with people wishing that the issues and protests would leave them alone.

Organize guys, you have two different songs here. Maybe blend them?

Well.....I would take a knee to show why taking knee is nothing more than taking a knee outside of the fact that taking a knee might be a legitimate way of showing how to take a knee when one takes a knee while thinking about taking a knee for the express purpose of taking a knee in lieu of taking a knee.

Outside of that.........ketchup on eggs. Have to take a knee on that.

That probably wouldn't sound great. I still think My country tis of thee should be it, but I'd go with America the beautiful (or a lot of other songs) over our current anthem. It's just not very good. And this would help congress learn to cooperate because it wouldn't be based on which party you belonged to, it would just be about personal preference
