These songs don't sound Patriotic, every song is about Patriotism, you are all passing judgement and don't know anything about this band, I'm trying to introduce you to them, how is it fair to pass judgement after only hearing one song?

1) Right To Bear
2) Soldiers Of America
3) Rally The Youth
4) Honk If You Want Peace
5) Walking Through That Door
6) American Dream
7) Hallowed Ground
8) Where Was The Media Then
9) Before The Hyphens Came
10) In The Days That Reagan Ruled

after seeing the song titles I have lost all desire to listen to them...

[HeyRiles]

See... Not too hard... Hope that helps.

It doesn't. Would you take anybody like that seriously if they tried to stay coherent talking like that?

BachiG was using the example of him "talking" to help anyone here understand what the meaning of the song's lyrics were.

The song itself was very popular for it's time and taken very seriously, eventually becoming the National Anthem of the United States of America. The author of the song's lyrics was writing in a style/manner that was easily understood for the time it was written (if memory serves me correctly, 1814) and the fact that it became the National Anthem says volumes as to how popular it was and how seriously it was taken (and how moving the lyrics were).
