Congressman Backs Banning National Anthem

The campaign to escalate from disrespecting the national anthem at NFL games to banning it altogether is gathering steam:

Illinois Democratic Rep. Danny Davis says he sees ‘nothing wrong’ with the California ACLU’s effort to ban the Star Spangled Banner as the country’s national anthem.

Rep. Davis explains why:

“Well, you know, one of the things about the Constitution that our forefathers wrote, and basically, there were none of our foremothers that were there. There were none of our fore-sisters there. There are changes that can take place and there is room to change,” he told TheDC Thursday.

People of this caliber did not used to be members of Congress. Not all changes are for the better.

The campaign has been initiated by the slightly more eloquent Alice Huffman, who is President of the California NAACP. She barks that Star-Spangled Banner “doesn’t represent our community. It’s anti-black people.”

According to Black Lives Matter ideology, our whole country is “anti-black people.” Therefore, it must be abolished, piece by piece.

The pretext for banning the anthem is from the rarely sung third verse:

No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave

Francis Scott Key wrote the lyrics back when slavery was legal, which is reason enough to ban anything, from the leftist point of view. Once every aspect of our heritage that dates to before the Civil War — including the Constitution — has been erased, they will set to work on whatever remains.

This cultural genocide is an incremental process, which is why every last statue and Confederate flag is a hill worth dying on.
