Okay, just so it's been said I'm not a totally heartless, unpatriotic bitch: every time I hear Whitney Houston's "Star Stangled Banner," I can't help but get choked up at the very end when she sings "land of the free, and the home of the brave" and the Super Bowl XXV crowd goes ecstatic.

I have a problem with Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA." Not because it mentions God, but because when I was in Navy boot camp, our Recruit Division Commanders (RDC) played this song at least once a day, sometimes more...definately more on weekends. I can't help but think of mind control and brainwashing. So I have difficulting not rolling my eyes during this song.
