O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain;
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood,
From sea to shining sea.
Such stirring lyrics are good reminders of a wonderful land God has given us.
And they are also reminders we can/should love our native land and be able to
separate her from all the war mongering she has recently been involved in.
And love American enough to oppose the war on her, from within, called socialism.
